      I also love that verse in the song. Every time I would pass my Church back in the day. That verse would pop in my head. Even up to today, that verse comes to my mind, especially on a cold winter's day...I love that song, one of my favorites.

    In 1968 I was 7...during the summer of '68 my cool cousins born 8 10 and 12 years before me taught me the harmonies of California Dreamin. I will never forget walking down our dusty country roads, in the summer of '68, walking with my cousins and older siblings singing that song.
    Wonderful precious memories.
    And California Dreamin' was etched on my 7 year old heart forever.
    Love you Michelle!

    One day back in the mid '90s Michelle came into my record store. She was looking for original Mamas & Papas albums. As luck would have it I had most of them, even a copy of the Mugwumps album! I may have also sold her an original copy of the "If You Can Believe Your Eyes And Ears" album, with the unedited "toilet" cover. She was surprised it was ever released with that cover. She was very happy to buy all of them. Another item I sold her was that set of the Hasbro Mamas & Papas dolls, new in the original packaging. Those are very hard to come by. It's great to see Michelle looking great and in good spirits.

And then "California Dreamin" came on the radio - and I completely shattered. My roommate came in to find me just SOBBING. I was so homesick that first semester! And I never really got over it. Over the course of those 4 years, I flew back and forth 22 times lol.

I had a transistor radio I took everywhere and was really loving all the 60's music coming out of it. I think that's when my love for music began...and the beautiful blended vocals of the Mamas and Papas really made an impression on me. And my mom had that album by them where they were all in the bathtub...titled "If You Can Believe Your Eyes And Ears" --- I used to stare at that thing and thought it was so funny!

We ultimately did!! So there was a church.. we would pray. We were walking to school in snow storms. “California Dreaming” and “Wouldn’t it be Nice” BB’s were our anthems. BTW we both live here now. Moved here in 1980 so for us it was the backdrop of our lives. I LOVE that Momma tells the truth. Love her even more!!. Love you both ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    I'm very glad that I found this channel! I was a kid when The Mamas and The Papas burst onto the scene, and I remember some of my classmates raving over the group. It took me some time to warm up to them, but the line in Creeque Alley that went, "and everybody's getting fat except Mama Cass," which I heard while listening at a friend's house, sold me on them for good because I thought it was clever. I've also enjoyed listening to the Discograffiti Podcast of your mom on Osiris Media, which fills in a lot of the details of that period. The more I listen to the songs over the years, the more I like them!

    You both had me laughing aloud and I live alone ha! You both have such a sense of humor, and so beautiful to see a Mother and daughter so together in love and amazing how you both spontaneously said the words of that viewer's comment exactly together. Also you both could be models you're so beautiful, and wow Chynna you have such a beautiful voice too like your mother! Also spiritually, soulfully so grand to see such togetherness. I love the Mamas and the Papas, and from the very moment I heard them on my little six transistor radio I used to keep under my pillow. At night in the north country I could tune in stations from hundreds and thousands of miles away! I'd play tunes on my domed topped guitar that had the "F" holes like violins have. My guitar instructor found it in the dump with the back busted out of it. He cut to fit a dark wall panel for the back and painted a white line around it. He sold it to my mother for $25 and we had very little money. I looked it up and in 1965 $25 is $225 in today's money. Thanks for such a beautiful sharing!! I look forward to both of you or solo too doing more videos!! I liked and subscribed!

    I was in 3rd grade after school when I heard it for the first time up in Everett Washington, really related to the sky is gray. I vowed I would make it to California when I grew up and I did! Thank you Michelle for being part of my wanderlust.

    Thank you for this special video. I was born around the same time as you, Chynna, and grew up listening to the Mamas and Papas. My mother was an early boomer who embraced much of the wildness of the 1960's. She always admired your mother, commenting on how beautiful, smart, and accomplished she is. My mother passed away a little over 12.5 years ago, so seeing you with your mom brings me joy. I will pray for your mom to receive everlasting life -- my mother accepted Jesus just before she died -- it's a weird, cool story if you ever want to hear it. Praise be to God that He is so merciful to my mom and to me!

    Wow! This is a wonderful video! Feel so lucky to have stumbled on to it. California Dreaming was the soundtrack to a little personal video I made after coming back to Australia from a superb US holiday with my partner 25 years ago. She passed away only 7 years after that holiday and to this day I love watching that video and reliving our wonderful holiday and listening to that iconic soundtrack.

    Mama Michelle looks gorgeous here! The lines she wrote make the song. They have always spoken to me in some deep way. I think the preacher liking the cold is very meaningful because it is a statement on how we sadly need God the most when life is uncomfortable.

    I grew up in New Haven, CT, in the days when it was still the people who made the records a hit, not big corporations. I saw a "pop up "record at my bus stope, and went in. I had a few minutes before my bus came, so I'd stop in. and saw mostly 45's. The guy's name was Dennis. When it was cold, I'd step in for a for a few minutes & he asked if I could listen to a few 45's & let him know if I thought it would be a hit or a miss.The song he play was "California Dreamin". I told him that not only was it a hit, it would be number 1. And so it was!!! Love you guys. Michelle, you are still a stunning beauty &I love to see you and Chynna together. God Bless You Both!!

    Hello Michelle Hello Chyna!, 🫶 first of all, you both look so beautiful and healthy.
    California, dreaming the introduction of the chords played on the guitar is a rallying call for us children of the 60s that song is played frequently. It will never get tiresome or old instead it is uplifting rejuvenating, and everything that Michelle described about the hippies is at the threshold captured in this song, and Michelle is right everyone was Desiring to get to California .. we are very lucky that the mamas and the Papas existed and gave us the music because it is timeless and some of the best also Michele was the quintessential beauty of what Southern California represented her look holds up yesterday today and tomorrow please don’t stop making music the both of you and thank you 🕊💋♥

    A comment for Mama Michelle,
    Mama, :)
    Your daughter has been a tremendous blessing in my life. Her willingness to talk openly has been a great comfort to me. We grew up in the same era and had many similar experiences and thoughts. Her willingness to share her story of redemption is healing for me. God bless you, Michelle. As the saying goes, the scent of the rose stays on the hand of the giver. I hope you know you have a place with Jesus too. He is waiting for you.

    love the Mamas and Papas, listened to California dreamin in youth, All the leaves are brown, And the sky is grey and then the song lifts you up and takes you away into a musical story. Mamas and Papas lyrics had real life human situations in their songs. I saw her again , beautiful song Dedicated to the one I love, Go Where you Wanna Go, and Monday Monday. Happy Birthday Michelle~
