This song needs a voice with more sparkle and at the same time more depth. I just listened to the Mamas and Papas, just to refresh my memory of their performance of this song and it did not change my mind. I will have to see if Lauren is singing lead on anything else because as I said she has a great voice.

The vocals are thrilling, the keyboards and guitars brilliant, and the drummer drives the song with impeccable timing and skill. And the "traveling" bassist is such a joy to watch. Besides laying down perfect rhythm in total synch with the drummer, she clearly is having the time of her life. Whether these kids choose music as a career or just a hobby, they have the goods to go far. Cheers!
