To answer some of your questions... yes, that's a flute (which you will hear in a lot of folk rock tunes of the era). Their name... back in the hippy days women were often called "mamas" and men were often called "papas" ... it was part of the overall ethic that we are all one big family of man. And if you want to know how these four got together as a group, listen to their song Creeque Alley, which outlines how each of them worked with different musicians, in different areas of the country, until they came together as the Mamas and Papas.

No song sounds like this song. Completely unique. A time capsule of its era. Yes, one of its strengths is its nature: the song itself doesn’t need much. The chord progressions move you, and the simple vocal harmonies and call and response technique is all they needed to create something that sounds so grand. Reverb helped too. Thanks for another great reaction video 😊

This is how they hot their name. Soon after gaining an audition with renowned record producer Lou Adler, Cass Elliot was watching an interview with the Hells Angels who claimed “we call our women mamas.” Elliot then screamed at the TV, “well, we got mamas in our group as we got papas.” Michelle Philips was immediately drawn to the name and used it as the moniker.

Michelle became a successful actress and was mother to Chyna Phillips, a member of the group Wilson-Phillips (very popular hit called Hold On). Carnie Wilson and her sister Wendy were also a member of WP and their father was Brian Wilson of Beach Boy fame. Just to tie it altogether.

@StevenW1958 Год назад

The song was written in 1963 while John Phillips and Michelle Phillips were living in New York City during a particularly cold winter, and the latter was missing sunny California. At the time, John and Michelle Phillips were members of the folk group the New Journeymen, which evolved into the Mamas and the Papas.

@nemovidet2111 Год назад

The instrument was a (wooden) recorder, not a flute. A flute is brighter(has high frequency overtones) because it is metal. Other groups, like Jefferson Airplane used the recorder too. The term "mamas" was from the Hell's Angels' name for female members, and the group just expanded the idea to include "papas." The Mamas and Papas biggest hit was actually "Monday Monday," but they had success with a few other songs---like the cover of the Shirelles song "Dedicated to the One I Love."

The guy playing guitar was John Phillips, and the blond girl singer is Michelle Phillips. They were married during the time this group was together, and they did have at least 1 kid together. The other girl singer is Mama Cass Elliot, and she did have a child while this group was together. So, some of them actually were Mamas and Papas.

Denny was the lead, John was playing the guitar. John and Michelle were married, but Michelle had an affair with Denny and that broke up the marriage and the group. Cass also had a crush on Denny, but it was unrequited. Cass had a short but successful solo career afterward, until her untimely death. Michelle went into acting and had a long successful career with that. John and Michelle had a daughter, Chynna ("China"), who teamed up with Carnie and Wendy Wilson, daughters of Beach Boy Brian Wilson, to form their own group, Wilson Phillips. They had a hit called "Hold On", which you should also listen to.

@Nomad-vv1gk Месяц назад

The correct name of the group is "The Mamas & The Papas". They were huge in the music business 1965-1968. This song was written in 1963 but wasn't recorded until November4, 1965 and released December 8, 1965. The instrument you asked about is an alto flute played by the late Bud Shank (Clifford Everett "Bud Shank Jr.). Alto flutes are pitched to the key of G, offering a range from G3 to G6. They're usually made from nickel, silver-plated brass, or silver. Like all flutes, alto flutes have three main parts: the headjoint (which contains the mouthpiece), the body, and the foot joint.

The music is being played by the wrecking crew they did most of the music for most of the bands back then,they deserve a lot more credit than they get look them up they were on a massive number of songs from the 60s! They were the sound everyone loves from the 60s!

@patriciakeith6755 Год назад

@Smedley Butler, you should check out the children of John Phillips because MacKenzie is not Michelle's daughter. John and Michelle daughter is Chynna.

@johndoe-gt6gp Год назад

Brit The wrecking crew were a group of session players in the LA area in the late 50s early 60s. They were phenomenal musicians, and were the go to players you went to when you wanted to cut a record back then. Especially when you had a bunch of kids who were pop stars, but could barely play their instruments. Think the Monkees, the first Byrds album and to many to name here. Or if you were a vocalist that just needed a backing band to make an album. In those days there was no digitally created music. Every sound you hear is some person playing an instrument. Glenn Campbell and Leon Russel were part of the wrecking crew. There’s a very interesting documentary out there about them. Well worth the watch if you’re into modern musical history.

We both sang in a Talent Show competition in around the 10th grade. Needless to say, Ellen won the whole competition. She had a beautiful natural voice even back then. You will notice in her videos that her feet are always doing a little dance in place step while singing. Was very sorry to hear that she died so young.

The Mamas and the Papas are an American rock band from Los Angeles, California. The band recorded and performed between 1965 and 1968, then reformed briefly in 1971. The band consists of John Phillips, Cass Elliot ("Mama Cass"), Denny Doherty and Michelle Phillips.

@TheKatherine1958 11 месяцев назад

Hi Britt. Yes. Flute performed by Bud Shank. “Mama’s was a term they picked up from The Hells Angels…they (HA) called their significant other “Mama” or “old lady”. Remember this was the 60’s. The blond, Michelle Phillips, was married to John Phillips founder of the group. There were children, yes both from Cass and Michelle. There was also lots of “fooling around”…again- the 60’s.

@ClandOp Год назад

AJ has covered this song at least a couple of times. The Mamas & The Papas released this song in the mid '60s in the middle of the "British Invasion" (led by The Beatles, of course, but also by The Rolling Stones). It came out of the blue and instantly made the band famous. The instrument you mention is almost certainly an alto flute -- sounds a lot like a recorder.

The Mamas & the Papas were a folk rock vocal group formed in Los Angeles, California, which recorded and performed from 1965 to 1968. The group was a defining force in the music scene of the counterculture of the 1960s. The group consisted of Americans John Phillips, Michelle Phillips (His Wife), Cass Elliot, and Canadian Denny Doherty. Their sound was based on vocal harmonies arranged by John Phillips, the songwriter, musician, and leader of the group, who adapted folk to the new beat style of the early 1960s.

Other than Michelle, they are all gone now. When listening to "I stopped by the church and begin to pray..." and the backup of Michelle and Cass you'll hear one sing "I begin.." and the other sings "I pretend...". It can be confusing. It is the original studio recording that you are hearing with it in stereo and that's why you can separate the sounds. The footage shown is being over-dubbed.

Hi Britt. The tall guy with the fur hat was married to the pretty blonde. John and Michelle Phillips (she became an actress in later years). They had a daughter named MacKenzie Phillips who was (or is) an actress as well. The other guy (Denny) and the fabulous talent Mama Cass Elliot were not in a relationship, though for a time Cass was major crushing on him. As to the name, back in the day it was common for people to refer to female friends etc as Mama. Also with Cass being called Mama Cass it developed into the name of the band.

I agree with the other posts regarding Mama Cass. Cass Elliott had a beautiful voice. Her rendition of Dream A Little Dream is beautiful 🌞

Get any collection of their greatest hits, put it on, and enjoy.

The Moody Blues, Nights in White Satin (full version) would be an amazing follow-up to this song. cheers

Some of the "edit" visuals are tapes of the Mamas and the Papas at the Monterey Pop Festival. Get a hold of the music to that, or the movie made of it. It has a lot of what the 1960s music was like, and finishes up with Ravi Shankar. Saw it in a theater right after it came out. When the Monterey Pop crowd gives Shankar a standing ovation everybody in the movie theater did too.

I would just like to say that I think your insights into the music reflect an arts education. You have said you danced for most of your life. I went to a high school for the arts here in Baltimore and was surrounded by dancers and painters and singers etc. IMO, you have great insights into the media showcased here. You are very intelligent and seem like a person who grew up very talented in multiple if not many disciplines. Thank you for making your channel. It’s is a privilege and a pleasure to watch.

Everyone talks about Mama Cass and hardly anyone ever talks about how talented Michelle Phillips was. She had such a sweet, tender voice. Cass had more range, but Michelle was no slouch herself. She just didn't get much notoriety because in reality she was incredibly shy and suffered almost overwhelming stage fright to where they just kinda began "taking it easy" on her.

"Dedicated to the One I Love" is my favorite of theirs, it is beautiful!!

Wilson Phillips was a band formed by Wendy and Carnie Wilson the daughters of the Beach Boys Brian Wilson and Chynna Phillips the daughter of John and Michelle Phillips of the Mamas and Papas. So at least 2 of them were parents :)

You reacted to John Denver and Cass Elliot "Leaving on a Jet Plane" Cass Elliot previously went by Mama Cass from The Mamas and the Papas

Queen Latifah has a beautifully soulful version of this great classic!

You want beach music. Fire up The Beach Boys! You like harmonies. Their sound was so unique. Nothing else has ever come close! They sang about the beach, surfing, girls cars! A snapshot of California in the 60's. Brian Wilson is a creative musical genius!

Mama Cass couldn't get to some of the higher notes when the group first got together. One day she was helping move some stuff and dropped something heavy on her foot which caused her to scream in pain and it broke open access to additional and higher notes. Thus the Mama's and Pappa's were born. John and Michelle were married for a while and Denny and Cass were an item for awhile. But they eventually went their own ways personally and eventually musically as well. Cass Elliott had just had a hugely successful concert in London and had just finished talking to friends and loved ones when sometime in the night her heart disappointed her and quit working. Many mourned her death. Awful jokes started about how she died cruel thoughtless people having a moment of total classlessness. The only one left today is Michelle and hers and John's daughter Chynna Phillips who partnered up with Brian Wilsons, of The Beach Boys, his two daughters Carnie and Wendy Wilson and had a relatively successful career as a singer.

I can't believe you never heard this song! There's a pretty good movie called Congo in which there's a scene with African porters at a riverside. One of the main characters starts singing the song and everyone joins in! It was a transition scene. I was listening to I Call Your Name one day in the car and it struck me that the beat was a burlesque! They did that in a couple of songs. I believe Mama Cass sings that solo. Also solo, she does a great job with Dream A Little Dream (of Me). You should check those out!

Yeah, that's the original studio recording. Denny Doherty (lead vocalist) was one of the more underrated singers of his day. Barry McGuire ( former member of the New Christy Minstrels), said Denny's voice could "sing the birds out of the trees". Not sure exactly what that meant, but assume it had a positive connotation. Michelle Phillips (now 78) is the only one left; she was married to John P. ( the dude in the fur chapeau) Their daughter is Chynna Phillips, of the Trio, Wilson Phillips ( the other two members being the daughters of Brian Wilson, founding member of the Beach Boys. TMI ?

The then nameless group were all watching TV one day. A news segment came on about the Hells Angels & their "Women" and the reporter reported the members referred to each other as Mama's and Papa's. Cass Elliot, stood up and said, I "wanna be a Mama". The rest is history....

@wendyduehr8086 Год назад

Cass Elliott's home in Laurel Canyon was party central for the biggest musicians in the late 60s and early 70s. They say she's still there. Dan Ackroyd, Beverly D'Angelo, Ringo Starr have owned it since. All reported activity. Robbie Williams rented it from Ackroyd and claims that he was visited by her ghost. Dan Ackroyd has talked about it many times. Beverly D'Angelo did an episode of Celebrity Ghost Stories.

One of the BEST vocal groups of all time!! M&P's was the soundtrack of a generation!!! Their song |"Creeque Alley" tells THE story of the folk/rock history of the 60's a great listen just for it's history of all musicians who started & evolved this music-many of whom Mama Cass sang with or backed up at one time or another!!!

The flute solo on this recording was performed by Bud Shank, an accomplished jazz saxophone and flute player who had been active for going on two decades by the time this was recorded. Shank was an LA "session" musician who played on numerous pop albums, in addition to his jazz work. He passed away a few years ago in Tucson, Arizona and was still performing almost up to his death. To my knowledge, Shank never toured with the Mamas and the Pappas--he only played on the studio gig.
