Michelle Phillips herself said Cass was the “real singer” in the group. Denny had a nice, pleasant, warm voice. And as you can see and hear, Cass was the only one with the voice, charisma, and talent to pull off a successful solo career.

What a voice

Just the greatest sounds from the SIXTIES. I joined the navy in 1964. MUSIC is what kept me sane, and happy. Thanks for Mama Cass. MONDAY MONDAY Coming.

John wrote all the songs and Denny had great voice.

She just had a gift, a pure and powerful voice that only comes around once in a great while.

The best of Mama Cass! What a voice and talent. Grew up listening to her. While we lost her too soon, we are privileged to always have her musical legacy.

Cass Elliot’s voice is right up there with the greatest female voices of all time. I’ve always loved her voice and the harmonies they created were magical. I agree that she left us way too soon and I can only take comfort (a tiny bit) in the fact that she was on top of the world just before she passed. She was in England and had been very warmly received as she launched her solo career. She was ecstatically pleased with her new success. It’s sad that she left before she could fully enjoy it but nice to know that she was very happy. Thanks Harri and Brandon 🌺✌️

I believe they say she had perfect pitch.

That's the Cass Shuffle she was doing, every time. She was the best!

Great choice, what a voice she had. They produced great music that stood the test of time. Thanks for this Harri and Brandon.

Cass had such a beautiful voice, it's too bad she passed so young.

Cass had a Wonderful cheery hit song called “Make Your Own Kind of Music”. Love It!

Mama Cass was a household name in the early seventies on the strength of songs like this. For some more Mama Cass magic check out "Dream a Little Dream of Me".

Dream a Little Dream for Me is one of her best songs

Michelle Phillips could sing too but she had a very soft soprano as noted in "Dedicated to the One I Love". Cass was definitely the powerhouse behind their fantastic sound. I had all their albums when I was in college. Thank you for bringing back those memories.

Now that you can fully comphrend the context ... in the video of Janis Joplin performing at Monterey Pop the large lady wearing the LARGE sunglasses staring up with such a look of awe and amazement was Mama Cass Elliot. If you're talent is so good that it shocks and amazes MAMA CASS you are absolutely going to end up being A LEGEND.

Brandon - Sorry for my delay in commenting. Thank you for submitting the magnificent Mama Cass and the rest of Mamas and Papas. I recall her sudden passing when I was a teen, a real loss. Personally, I would place Mama Cass Elliot in my Top 10-20 female vocalists. Bravo Brandon and Harri.

She was a beautiful, tremendously talented lady. I feel so incredibly sad for the career she could have had, SHOULD have had! RIP, Cass! You are so missed and loved!!

they were amazing.

Brandon, I enjoyed this awesome Mama and Papas performance on the Ed Sullivan Show. Mama Cass was a crushing loss at the peak of their still-rising popularity. I give this 5 Stars!! Bravo Brandon and Harri.

I absolutely love The Mamas and Papas..Cass Elliot had a tremendous voice and it was a great loss when she passed, in many ways. Sadly, she was part of what's become known as "the 27 club" 😒

She had a great voice!! ❤

They had such great harmonies.

One of my favourites by the Mamas and the Papas, and what a voice. Thanks Brandon and Harri.

I've only wept over the loss of two singers. Cass was the first and Karen Carpenter was the second. Both had amazing voices and such a presence on stage. I can't believe Cass will be gone for 50 years in three months. I loved the harmonies of the '60s.

Hearing the names being introduced here, I’m reminded of Wilson Philips, a group consisting of daughters of John Philips and Brian Wilson. A great vocal group, you will love them. Since you seem to have missed many pop hits in the 1980s and 1990s, you may have missed Wilson Philips too. In that case: check them out Harri!

Great singers..V Cass had a beautiful voice effortless❤

Mama Cass sounds just like she does on the recording.

Loved the old Ed Sullivan show. we waited for it every Sunday.

Mama Cass "lights up the stage" because she has so much gravitational mass light cannot escape her.

She could move. She was all out, all in.

To this day I wish Mama Cass would have lost weight for nothing else but her health.

She had big band era chops.

Loved The Mamas and The Papas ❤ Thank you Brandon great request and Thank you Harri

And that sound was a total accident. Cass filled in at a rehearsal because the lead girl singer was ill.

Well that was certainly a live performance.

You should react to Wilson Phillips group Chynna Phillips is Michelle Phillips daughter and the Wilson sisters are from Brian Wilson The Beach Boys

Spanky & Our Gang ?

That group wouldn't have made it without Cass' voice. The rest of them were mediocre, at best, but because she was fat, they disrespected her a lot, especially John. I remember thinking this when I was a teenager, and watched them on TV back then.

Please react to Don Gibson “Sea of Heartbreak.”

Michelle Phillips is the only one still living?

Ms. Cass Elliot is the Singer in this group.. FYI She did Not like that Name.. ♠Mr.G..

Mama Cass had a big voice & big personality, both of which are on display. One of the things I always loved about this group was the vocal arrangements that they created. They were so distinctive that you knew it was them instantly. Add in the consistently great catchy pop songwriting, and you get a very successful group. RIP Mama Cass🎤

She preferred to be called Cass Elliott 😏

July will mark 50 years since Cass died in London.

I had the LP with this and many others on it. She does a version of 'Dream a little dream of me', that sends me.

True Harri, groovy song ♥️ Mama Cass🩷 her beautiful voice, and her great moves, loved it 🎼💫💎💖

At the time, Cass was in love with Denny Dorety.

Mamma Cass had one the best voices of that era. Any era, in fact.

Great choice Harry, you are one of the first reactionists to do this song! Thanks man!

Lord, I miss these folks, just wonderful

I agree with your comments about Mama Cass's confidence and her fantastic voice. I've wondered what dance she does with her feet? So fab with the boots. I love all their outfits.

Cass had a great voice! I dug so many songs by them even tho they were a short lived group. The performances on Eds shows were all LIVE! Great memories of great times.
