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.

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 🌺✌️

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.

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!

I really believe if they'd known as much as we do about weight loss, back then, we'd have had her longer. They said she was constantly dieting, some fad diet all the time. The choking on a sandwich story was a cruel lie. She may have had hypothyroid or any number of hormonal problems that today can make such a difference. Love her.
