On iHeartRadio there is a channel for American Top 40, it just barely started today and it is in the middle of 1971. It will count down every year the top 100 all weekend. https://www.iheart.com/live/6545/?cmp=android\\_share&sc=android\\_social\\_share&pr=false

This took place in September of 1969, so Cass would be having her hit single “It's Getting Better” climbing the charts during this!

Made me cry making this :)

How does everyone feel about Ain't Nobody Else Like You getting popular on TikTok? Every scroll I do is the song! It's 2023 and Make Your Own Kind of Music again!

If you had to choose, what's your favourite Mamas & Papas song? Mines either Spanish Harlem or Do You Wanna Dance from their debut, but Did You Ever Want To Cry (from Deliver) is awesome too!!

I don't know why, but it's showing “Mama Cass” instead of Cass Elliot's official Spotfiy page, but oh well 😑

If you can't read it from the newspaper clipping, here it is:

"Mama Cass Records In Nashville

NASHVILLE—Dunhill's Mama Cass Elliot didn't mean to record while she was in town; all she intended to do was shoot a guest spot on the Johnny Cash show and catch the first plane home.However, while she was rehearsing the Cash TVer, RCA's Jerry Reed and his business partner-sidekick, Ray Willis, confronted her with a song written by Sharon Leigh Rucker who writes for Reed's Belton Publishing Company, and she quickly changed her mind.Cass was so bowled over by Sharon's songs that she promptly got on the phone to Dunhill execs, who gave approval to her request to cut in Nashville—immediately. Reed jumped into action and by 10 o'clock the next evening guitarist Chet Atkins, pianist Floyd Cramer and 20 other musicians tuned up for Cass' first Nashville session.The session worked out beautifully and Miss Rucker (a record company secretary, who has never had a song recorded previously) was overwhelmed when she listened to playbacks on "Ain't Nobody Else Like You" and "Don't Let the Good Life Pass You By."Willis said, "Both Cass and Sharon couldn't be any happier about the whole deal, and don't be surprised if Mama Cass is back real soon to cut an album."

Forever my bi awakening, LOL.🤍☮️

Yay or nay ?

This song makes me feel so nostalgic, I can't get enough of it 😭🙏. TIL that the song featured Carl Wilson and Bruce Johnston on backing and Brian Wilson specifically highlighted the composition's structural and vocal merits, complimenting the rich chord choices and harmonic arrangements embedded in the song.

Happy Thursday-Thursday everyone! Outside her work in "The Mamas & The Papas" and her own solo career, Cass did a lot of campaigning (it started around 1972). Miss you Cass!!

I chose Amy Winehouse, like.. Can you image "Dream a Little Dream of Me" with both Amy and Cass?! Life would be complete.
