Good band, but they screwed up I Call Your Name and Twist And Shout.


I wish they would have recorded "I Call Your Name" just like they did it here...

Hi In My Life! How are you? This live version did sound incredible didn't it? In my opinion, I truly believe that THE MAMAS AND THE PAPAS were a great live band. The harmonies were beautiful and perfect, this video proves it. Take care.

I think that Cass Elliot was such a talented and warm-hearted person and it really burns me that she isn't as respected as she should be.

Hi Mairi! CASS ELLIOT is not as respected as she should be because THE MAMAS AND THE PAPAS did not get the recognition that they truly deserved. Take care.

Rolling Stone Magazine: Is that a true story about a pipe falling on your head …

Cass Elliot: It’s true, I did get hit on the head by a pipe that fell down and my range was increased by three notes. They were tearing this club apart in the [Virgin] Islands, revamping it, putting in a dance floor. Workmen dropped a thin metal plumbing pipe and it hit me on the head and knocked me to the ground. I had a concussion and went to the hospital. I had a bad headache for about two weeks and all of a sudden I was singing higher. It’s true. Honest to God.



Or so the story goes.   :)

I've always liked them but I hate the recording technology that was used at the time.  I don't think any remasters have been done of their work.  Cass and Michelle usually sound so tinny; I don't hear any bass in Cass's voice either.  Don't the Mamas' voices typically sound kind of shrill?

Hopefully, someone will try to enhance their sound someday.

Try adjusting the bass on your amplifier, Loco.
