Mama Cass was the heart and soul of the Mamas and the Papas, she carried that whole group on her back. She had perfect pitch, one in a hundred thousand people have perfect pitch, she also had a lot of style.
@lyndafaye67483 жыл бұрын
Singing acapella (Heartaches etc., ) I love the oldies... Perfect pitch IS very rare. I have "relative" pitch...but Mama Cass just " floated her voice through both the alto and the soprano so strongly" as if singing was absolutely effortless! What a great lady! You can hear her taking her "controlled" breaths between phrases...called " evenly executed breathing" I think, not sure. And the LA DE DA parts, Do viewers get the "feeling" that those were the "notes" she wanted a guitarist to play FOR her somehow ? When others sing her song, they always leave that part out; I think it's her special "composing on the spot?" What a great lady and singer !

I learned about perfect pitch in HS choir, in the early 70’s. I’ve heard many people use the term not knowing what it means. There’s a few different terms called perfect pitch, most any trained musicians can meet. The one I learned they don’t have a number of people that possess it. That would be to sing any note of the scale on demand, and of course all within ones range. If that’s what you understood it to be, all good, if not please in the future refrain from throwing around terms you’ve heard, but don’t know for a fact what it is. Myself I have to find middle c first, then hit whatever note was called for. Of course that was before my 5/20/14 stroke that stole my Sinatra quality baritone, Bing Crosby quality whistle, master orators diction ability, instant access to an Oxford dictionary of words, and train of thought, I run into walks when ranting, and I get tongue tied when I rant to quickly;(;( But I can still walk a 12 minute mile, and all my filangzees work fine. But my losses kill me;)

This song is beautiful and bittersweet to me. The main reason for me though is this was the song my Uncle wanted played at his funeral and in April of this year, 2020, his wish was honoured after we lost him on Easter Sunday. I couldn't even attend his funeral due to lockdown measures so listening to this hurts at times knowing I'll never see him again or hear his infectious laughter. He made everyone feel happy. I never got the chance to say goodbye to him but once things blow over, me and family are going to have a party for him, for all the years he was a psychiatric nurse, for the amazing dad, granddad, brother, husband and uncle he was and for being my godfather. One of his biggest wishes was for me to be happy, a father of my own and in a relationship. I hope I can become half the man he was. Love you lots Uncle Si x x hope I'm making you proud, K ❤❤ p.s.

Not many bands had skills like the Mamas and the Papas. They carved out west coast sound, this is music that feels good. Be good to yourself and listen to california dreamin on a beautiful California beach on an gray; overcast autumn day. Food for the soul and the senses. Thank-you gang.

I want to remember hearing this song when I was in the backseat of a taxi in Prague going at 4:00 a.m. from my hotel to the airport. It was so early and I had so many experiences and my head was just in a days. Somehow this song set the tone perfectly and said everything I could not articulate in the early hours.

I'm Carol... or as my grandson, Michael, calls me 'Gaia". We are out on our back deck, it's a warm Spring night. A taste of the sweet Summer to come. Staring up into the night sky at the North Star, I start singing this to him as he leans over and puts his precious little head on my shoulder. This is the stuff that love and memories are made of ❤

I know this is no match for those of you who lost parents and grandparents who sang this to them but I sang this in the car with my mom every time it played but then I got insecure about my voice and now I’m in middle school choir and we are singing California Dreamin’ and I thought of Mama Cass and listened to this song for the first time in years and and I was able to sing!!! Thanks Mr. Foley for bringing out my voice!!❤️

We havery 5 generations too. But my Dad and Mom never got to see my grandbaby. And my Grandma , she did get to meet him and hold him once before she died in the hospital. He was only about 4 months old. But I'm so grateful they met and touched one another's skin at the very least. She was a beautiful, sweet woman and not a single person that ever met her would say or even think of something bad about her. (You couldn't*) everyone adored her , throughout her whole life and for good reasons too. She was a rare one, a true gift and a blessing to me from God. She raised me for 40 years and she is the Love of my life. *(I love you mama Gerry Clifford.) Dream a little dream of me! I miss you. Love, your grand daughter, Carole Marie Clifford. Thank you Sir, for sharing your thoughts, feelings & story with me.

This was my grandma and grandpas song. They loved this song. My grandma passed from cancer when I was a toddler * I'm 26 * and grandpa never dated again. He once told me that he tried dating once but he felt like it was cheating on grandma. I am currently married and have a beautiful 4 month old. I only hope my husband and I can have a love as strong as my grandparents. I know how hard it was on him when he lost her and while this song is beautiful and full of love, I can't help but to feel sad thinking about the pain my grandpa endured the day he put my grandmother to rest.
