Mama Cass and Denny where the two best singers that really helped established the band. Denny sings much of the song , California Dreaming. As others have said, Mama Cass really was one of the main talents of the group. They debated about having her in the group, due to her weight. Denny was from Canada.

The phone rang, I answered, a voice comes on the phone and says Candy this is John Phillips! Do you know who I am? I said yes and starting singing Monday, Monday! He was laughing! I have a very young sounding voice so probably didn’t think I knew who he was! He called several times after that and was always very nice calling me by my name! I was very sad upon hearing he had passed !!

I saw a beautiful video that a wife on their wedding day had gotten the beautiful young lady to meet her new husband... Why? Because his brother had recently died and he was an organ donnor & the young lady had gotten her husband's brother's heart.

If you could tell him for me that the ending of his movie touched my heart. I just turned 15 in1969. This now 70year-old woman, time flies. What I am trying to say is that is a murder that affected me to my core and it in a way took my innocence. And after watching the movie and seeing the different ending to the tragedy I cried and cried and cried. Because that’s the way I wish it had ended.😢 The tears and the movie were very therapeutic. I know this sounds crazy. But when something so tragic happens and you observe it such a young age it’s scary as shit. Again tell him thank you❤🙏🙏🙏 so much❤️

Hi Scott. This is a great video, but all of your videos are great, fascinating. I love the Mamas and Papas, wonderful songs and brilliant harmony. Love Cass Elliot. That's why I don't buy lottery tickets, but I like where you put it.. lol..

The old saying, "The price of genius is madness. Plenty of insane, loathsome people have given us much art, music and scientific inovation. A lot of celebrated people are so focused on their creative vision their ordinary lives are anything but. Motzart or Van Gough anyone?

Thanks for this Scott. It’s a really interesting video and I think he’ll always be a controversial figure. I read somewhere in an obituary that Denny Doherty said that he knew about John’s ‘dark secret’ but whether this is true I’m not sure.

Met all the Mamas & Poppas in the late 60s or early 70s here in Baltimore, I was just a 9 or 10 year old kid at the time and living a few doors up from a former Buffalo Springfield or Lovin Spoonful member?... . Cass Elliott grew up in this neighborhood and believe they came here to spend time with her family? .... More to the story, will email you the rest.

Wasn't that the mantra of the 60's: if it feels good, do it! John Phillips was living the dream! Yet, there is a day reckoning. It is not a popular message, but it is only through the blood of Jesus Christ that we can be cleansed from all sin. Those in Christ Jesus are the true bloods for 'love and peace.' As Jesus said, those outside of Christ are liars and thieves. Yet, Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

I don’t think John would have been into the whole lottery ethos. He had far too much soul and class. A great talent. Our music history would’ve been poverty-stricken without him and what he brought to it and with The Momas and The Papas. God rest the souls of the departed members of that amazing quartet and may Michelle live a long and happy life as I believe she does. She’s a living legend. They were so wonderful.

correct. "While on tour with his band, The Journeymen, Phillips met 18-year-old Michelle Gilliam (he was nine years older) while performing in a California club."
