Yes, it's terrible. Unfortunately, she was born and performing in the Era of television. In the earlier days, Kate Smith was the most famous American singer, and her rendition of God Bless America made her famous. Yet, if Kate Smith had been performing in the Era of television., she probably never would have become famous. It's even worse now. Name one famous female singer who isn't attractive and sexy. With computer technology, you don't even have to be able to carry a tune now. They can even auto tune live performances. I doubt there will be another famous Kate Smith or Cass Elliott.

@Suzy1959 Not only that, but of you notice, many opera singers are on the bigger side; they have larger chest cavities, and use this advantage to sing in a higher or lower octave and nailing the note without screaming it. Also, this is why if you put a really good countertenor like Jarrousky against female sopranos, he sounds better. Larger chest cavity. Before music and art were purely about sex, light shows, how hot the band was, it was actually about art and music! Can you imagine such a thing? Look at Itzhak Pehrlman. Arguably one of the best musicians in his generation., yet he had polio, needs a cane, ( and hot he's not), but his talent is stellar Imagine if an orchestra said to him, " Sorry, the audience is going to be young, so we're going to need a light shows, some explosions, and he's going to need to twerk, bump and grind while playing. So, we'll get someone hot, who can.at least make it look convincing, give him an instrument with a mic set up and ear phones and he can play along to to track. Can you imagine if everyone from Bach, Dowland, Purcell to DaVinci, Michelangelo were given no chances because they didn't fit the beauty standards of the day? It's getting to the point where EVERYTHING has to be able to trigger people sexually; aside from the fact that if you download music, you are usually listening and not always watching,. Although, to quote my father ( gone for many years now) even if you were totally interested in a person just for their sexiness, what will you do with the other 23 hours in a day? Well, you end up like Grant Amato, stealing almost 275k from his family and friends, just so he can sit and gaze at her for hours a night along with other guys and pretend she liked him Smh.

She was very important for their sound, but to counter your argument: John Phillips wrote nearly all of their songs. John and Michelle co-wrote California Dreamin’. Denny Doherty was a songwriter and as a guitarist helped with developing John’s songs. Cass Elliott didn’t write songs. She couldn’t play any instrument. By definition she was a tag-a-long, always dependent on other people’s masterpieces. Two of her best known solo singles (Dream a Little Dream of Me, Make Your Own Kind of Music) were by every definition cover songs. Bands combine the individual talents of their members, and each member is important.

My uncle was in a band with her for a brief time when she had moved back to the DC area. This was obviously before the Mamas and the Papas. My uncle was a keyboard player and they were desperate to find a female vocalist. They had never met her so when she showed up for the audition it was like "ok, you're next...let's hear it". She started singing and didn't even finish the song before they ended all other auditions and hired her. She was that amazing as a singer.

I used to watch Cass’s show as a girl and I loved the theme song, Make Your Own Kind Of Music. I identified with her because of her size, and I thought she was pretty. I thought, if she’s a star and she’s big, it’s not so bad that I’m bigger than my siblings. I’m just different. I’ll always remember her.

Watch Gary Taubes Good Calories, Bad Calories lecture or read the book. It is a hard read, but knowledge is power. It is the history of diet and nutritional studies. And you have been lied to all your life. We all have. The Adventist cult controls most nutritional studies in North America. Harvard sold their scientific soul to the Adventist cult food industry agenda over half a century ago. Adventist. Think Kellogg and Post. The old 1950s British human health diet in the prologue of Good Calories will work for most people. Fourteen years now. I also recommend watching Dr. Chris Knobbe Are vegetable oils the primary driver of obesity and diabetes. The other issue could be food allergies. It did not matter what I did until I got gluten out of my diet. Issues with gluten started at age 5 and stopped at 47 when I figured it out. I also must avoid lugumes. Try going carnivore for 2 or 3 weeks. Keep a diary. Add back one real food a week. It could be more than one thing causing the issues. Keep a diary. Weigh yourself the morning of and the morning after. A massive jump in weight, and I am going to guess you know exactly what I am talking about, is a sign of inflammation. Rashes, constipation, diarrhea, arthritis are all signs of food allergies and intolerance. If you add back something like soy sauce, write all ingredients. It has both wheat and soy. Both can cause issues. Both are grass and all grass has gluten. A little history. The nutritionalist who did the research for the food pyramid refused to have her name on it after the senator in charge let his Adventist cult food industry buddies change it to the monstrosity that came out. She warned them if they put it out and people followed it that there would be a massive increase in obesity, diabetics, heart attacks, strokes, depression, dementia, autoimmune disease, cancer, etc. She was right. But instead of admitting their mistake they did the vegan gaslighting thing of blaming the victims of their bad advice and pointing out the few that could stay slim, if not healthy on their death diet. Add Poly Ovarian Syndrom, PMS, autism, ADHD, low testosterone, messed up thyroid and likely much more to the list. Then in the 90s a vegan group hiding under the name Science in the Public Interest pushed to have dangerous seed oils replace natural animal fats at restaurants. Eighty percent of obese and fat people have metabolic syndrome. Sixty percent of normal and thin people also have metabolic syndrome. Americans eat 100 less calories than 20 years ago. Yet obesity has increased. Big red flags. Something to think about. Regular refinded grains are grass. So called healthy whole grains are grass. Seed, vegetable oils are grass. Cane sugar is grass. HFCS is grass. Artificial colors often grass based. Many artificial preservatives are grass based. These make up most of the products sold as a well balanced diet. Grass.

I can't stand bullies, and my whole life I've always stood up for people who've been bullied. I'm painfully shy, and was bullied myself at work, and losing my job in the end.

If you read “Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon,” you’ll learn what a mother figure Cass Elliott was to her fellow musicians in Laurel Canyon. She was nurturing and caring, as though she were giving to all what she, herself, always searched desperately for and never found. Her home was a place where all were welcome, yes, including Charles Manson, who was also an aspiring musician at the time. Despite all odds, IMO, Cass was one of the bravest women in history, who rightly trusted her talent and understood that she had much to give. I applaud her. I’m just so sorry that, like Karen Carpenter, society and its “norms” killed her in the end. Rest in peace, beautiful spirit. You are missed. 💖

You have to admire not just Cass Elliot’s natural talent, but also her courage and unrelenting determination in pursuing whatever it was she wanted in life. Against tremendous odds she succeeded in everything except love and losing her weight.

97% of weight loss attempts fail because weight really isn't within people's control. Even though tallness is associated with higher rates of heart problems and early death, I never hear people say "If only he had not allowed himself to get so tall..." If you want to stop losing people like Cass Elliott and Karen Carpenter to weight stigma, stop mocking weight.

They were just jealous of her great enormous talent. She could sing mountains above the other three. Dream a little dream of me always made me smile.

The Mugwumps' guitarist was Zal Yanovsky. Hendricks played rhythm guitar. Cass introduced Zal to John Sebastian which began The Lovin' Spoonful. I'll forever be in her debt for just that one thing alone.

Cass Elliot, was always my favorite, of the group. John Phillips, was a disgusting waste of space. His daughter told their nasty story. Disgusting!

Michelle Phillips knew all about what was going on with John and his daughter. She even blamed Mackenzie for her daughter being born prematurely and addicted to drugs! She's just st as nasty as her ex husband, if not worse, because she knew he was "sleeping" with his daughter, while she was a teenager, and never reported it to anyone. I've read Mackenzie's book - it's heartbreaking, and also disturbing to read - and it really comes across as Many chelle being jealous of John's "relationship" ( ew, gross) with his daughter.

Cass had a fantastic voice. When I heard as (a teenager) that she had died it was a kick in the guts. The other band members of the Mommas and Papas did not deserve her beauty and talent.
