- The Mamas and the Papas stand tall as one of the most emblematic and influential groups of the 1960s. With their signature harmonies and introspective lyrics, they seamlessly bridged the gap between folk and pop, crafting a sound that captured the zeitgeist of a transformative decade. The ensemble comprised John Phillips, the principal songwriter and strategist; his wife, Michelle Phillips, whose ethereal voice added a unique dimension; Denny Doherty, with his powerful lead vocals; and Cass Elliot, whose resonant contralto became one of the group's defining features.

Their rise to stardom was meteoric, marked by chart-toppers like "California Dreamin'", which evoked a wistful longing for sunnier climes, and "Monday, Monday", a poignant reflection on the transient nature of love. These songs, among others, ensured their place in the annals of pop history, granting them a global fan base and the prestigious Grammy Hall of Fame Award.
However, the group's journey wasn't without its turbulence. Behind their harmonious sound lay interpersonal conflicts and struggles. The Mamas and the Papas disbanded in 1968, a mere three years after their formation, but their legacy was far from ephemeral. Their music became emblematic of a generation questioning societal norms and seeking deeper meaning.
Tragically, time has taken its toll on the group's original lineup. Cass Elliot, with her larger-than-life presence both on and off the stage, passed away in 1974. Denny Doherty followed in 2007, and John Phillips in 2001. Today, Michelle Phillips remains the sole surviving member, a poignant custodian of their collective memory. The Mamas and the Papas left an indelible mark on the music industry.
Their legacy is a testament to the enduring power of music to encapsulate moments, movements, and emotions, transcending time to inspire generations anew. Join Facts Verse, as we present: How Each of The Mamas & The Papas Died

More stupid and wrong videotitles? No thanks!
Mesmerized instantly by a 5-sec background music in a YT short, searched the phrase "the sky is gray" , discovered the Mamas & the Papas, suggested by YT in the right panel, I am here.
When y'all start dealing in actual facts maybe I'll consider it. Obviously that point is not in sight.
Only 3 of them has died so far , your headline should be how 3 of the Mama's and Papa's died ,
Where did you learn to use an apostrophe to pluralize words?
@@mikegarippo7815 when he went to school.
How do you do it smart ass
I agree. I only clicked on this suggested video to see how the sexy Michelle died only to find out that she hasn't. What a waste of 7 minutes!
No Michelle has died
Michelle Phillips is the last surviving member of The Mamas and Papas
Thank you caption obvious!
Well according to the title, they are all dead. Hence how EACH of the Mamas and the Papas died. Stupid title.
@@Frankie-Bleddyn i thought they were all dead bcoz of the caption but there still one surviving member
@@electrocreephii😊
I 💖 her Blonde Hair 👍
Nice title, Im sure Michelles shocked to hear she died.
She doesn't care, she never cared when they were treating Cass horribly. Then slept with Cass's husband, she's not a nice person.
"Michelle's shocked". I see what you did there.
Look how a clueless poster ignored your calling out the video for its dishonesty and tried to make it about Michelle. Shocking.
@@adiemissworld Didn't Michelle also know John was sleeping with their daughter "Mackenzie and did and said nothing,just basically "brushed it aside.
My favorite song , of course, was "California Dreaming." I was a sophomore in my high school at the time when this harmonic song was released. My girl friend at the time, introduced it to me, and I have grown to really like it ever since. Thanks Mamas and Papas!
One of our favorites too, you've got fine taste! What other types of video would you like to see?
I still enjoy listening to "California Dreaming" in 2024. By the way I was born in 1933 much earlier than all the Mamas and Papas.
The title is misleading, Michelle Phillips is still alive.
My name is Keith and I am a 74 year old Scot and to me Mama Cass is the greatest singer that ever lived, and although I love It's Getting Better, I think Make Your Own Kind Of Music will always be my favourite song and I listen to it every single day of my life as it has a special place in my heart - R.I.P. Cass 😢💔🙏
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and beautiful message for Mama Cass. We miss her. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
@FactsVerse Thankyou ever so much for your kind words and I'm sure you can tell from my words that I am a huge Cass Elliot fan and I am dreading the 29th of July 2024 as it will be the 50th anniversary of her death so I am hoping that somebody will show a video all about Cass's life as a tribute to her and her amazing singing voice and as I am a child of the 60's I would love to see more videos showcasing the singers and pop groups of that era as it holds a special place in my heart - With love, Keith x 😊❤️
WoW
She was absolutely fantastic, my Jockinese mate. It's always a pleasure to hear her voice and she left us far too soon but with some wonderful musical memories! She died in her sleep in London having earlier phoned Michelle Phillips enthusing about having received a standing ovation on the last two nights of performing at the London Paladium. This was told by Michelle during a TV programme (California Dreamin': The Songs of 'The Mamas & the Papas') some years ago.
@thebestofforum Such a beautiful post, thankyou from the bottom of my heart, it means a lot to me x ❤️🙏🏴
Loved this group!! "Mama Cass" had a amazing voice and yes their voices were very good together,,they harmonized so well. Favorite song was of course " California Dreaming"!!
One of our favorites too, you've got taste! Be safe and have a great day ❤
Creeque ally is a better song
I used to love Michelle
Cass was way overweight and THAT caused her hear disease and ultimate demise.
@@Superman-ey3id Cass overdosed, the "ham sandwich" was a mere cover story cooked up by her well-meaning manager, all according to her daughter.
Michelle is still living
This group can NEVER be replaced. Monday Monday and California Dreaming will NEVER be forgotten. BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL MUSIC. it was beautiful when I was a kid when it came out
And is still beautiful. AND DONT FORGET CASS ELIOT WROTE THE SONG LEAVING ON A JET PLANE. THEY ALL WERE TALANTED
No she didn't. John denver wrote it.
As far as their music, I like them all as a group they had a great sound. Their personal life was something else though.
Thanks for watching! We're glad to know that you love our video. If we may ask, what other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse
Very true.
Loved It!
Mama Cass is one of favorite 3
Female singers!
💖💖💐💐💖💖
Thank You!
Yes! I would prefer calling her Cass Elliot or just Cass as she hated being called "mama"
some of their harmony is just wow.....great group wish i could have seen them live.
They were each of my biggest Rock and Roll stars on the planet for years!My favorite Mamas and The Papas hits were: “California Dreamin’”, “Monday, Monday” “Words Of Love”, “Dedicated To The One I Love” and “Go Where You Wanna Go”. R.I.P. Cass, John and Denny💐🎤🎸🎼
So Michelle is the lone survivor which is misleading by your title.
Headline wrong, but you knew that... Michelle didnt die!
Yeah he knew that, but that's not the point. The point is Making Money Through Dishonesty.
The only reason I ever listen to any of the mamas and the papas is because of mama cass - what a beautiful soul.
Interesting, thanks for sharing! What other types of video would you like to see?
An abundance of talent. Marred by excess and hubris. That made for a remarkable group and wonderful sound.
And as such, the groups adventures & misadventures were a source of much of their music ... As in you write what you know/experience ...
Michelle is still with us
Cass Elliott was one of my favorite members of the band. My favorite songs although written with underlined intent are songs I Saw Her Again and Creeque Alley. Monday, Monday and California Dreaming are also my favorite songs.
I love
Them All
And "Go Where You Want To Go" , which IMO, could be recorded & released today and do well ... 12:30 song has great harmony "Young girls are coming/walking to the canyon" ...
One of our favorites too, you've got taste! Who comes in at second place?
Cass had an amazing voice. The mamas and the papas were nothing without her.
My fave was California dreamin. I was a young teen.
Michelle Phillips is still alive. She is 79 years old so this is completely wrong. !!
Michelle Phillips is the surviving member.
The band folded. But the influence continued through Wilson Phillips, with lead singer Chynna Phillips, daughter of the late John and Michelle.
it just struck me how important music was to people back then. there just seemed to be a lot of music in people's homes and lives, that it just spilled over into pop culture. the quality of songwriting and singing is unparalleled, especially considering what's out now...
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
Ranked up with hotrod cars, drugs and sex. My high school and college years were a rock n roller fantasy. Hello you hello me hello people we used to be...
I always liked Michelle Phillips soprano voice a d I also liked Dennys voice.he also had a great sound and when all four would sing it was out of this world
Yes they were great
Us too! Thank you so much for bringing back memories. Whhat other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
John Phillips wrote a book about his life called Papa John. In it he details his life with the band, and personal life, including his drug addiction. One of the best books I've ever read. Not only is it very well written, the humor in his words makes it worth the read. It's actually outright funny at times. This is one of my favorite bands of the 60s.
Yes, a truely great read.
@@johnrolle3416 I'll have to check it out. Hopefully it's still in print, or available digitally.
The words of a producer when he first seen them " when John. Walked through the door he was as tall as you can be, when Michelle walked through the door she was as pretty as you can be and when Cass walked through the door she was as big as you can be " 😂
She was morbidly obese for sure, which wasn't that common back then. Getting to be the norm now unfortunately.
My favorite was Cass.
Of note: It was Cass, who got Crosby, Stills and Nash together. She was sneaky about it. She invited each one of them to dinner, not telling the other two. "Oh and bring your guitar maybe we'll play a bit after dinner." She pictured/ heard each one in her head and thought these three would really be dynamic together.
One of our favorites too, you've got fine taste! What other types of video would you like to see?
I'm surprised you didn't mention her guest-starring role as Jenice Manheim in the Star Trek: The Next Generation first season episode "We'll Always Have Paris" (1988). I read an interview with her in which she said something to the effect that the Star Trek fans send her more fan mail from that one episode than she gets from everything else did she'd done in her life combined, including her time in The Mamas & the Papas.
Sad that Mama Cass Elliot's legacy was marred by the rumor of choking on a sandwich leading to her death and a clear attempt to make light of her being over weight..Her contribution to the music industry was over shadowed by false narrative meant to harm her reputation as a gifted singer and is disgusting..A beautiful soul i choose to remember as someone who shared her gift to the world through song and hopefully others will remember that as well...RIP Mama Cass
Michelle and Cass were wonderful😊
Cass was my favorite because she was such an amazing vocalist.....Baby I'm Yours! [Rest in peace dear lady]
Thanks for their stories.
LOVE THIS GROUP,LOVE THEIR SONGS
Glad to kow that you're a fan. In your opinion, what is their finest song?
Mama Cass...she had a gorgeous voice! Sad that her appearance over rode her voice! RIP
She went to HS with Jim Morrison. He hadn’t a clue at that time he would end up in music. He had an IQ of 150.
even sadder is the stupid sandwich story. Just let her rest in peace. I weighed 75 lb more than now when I met my drop dead gorgeous wife 25 years ago. I'm a sweat pants wearing slob but I never get jealous or kick the dog, some people can't see past that. I've dated plenty of women that were "plain looking" and they were then and always have been beautiful to me. It's a sad and shallow world we live in.
What was her appearance got to do with her voice accept people how they are
Mama Cass got a really raw deal in life. She deserved better but because she was heavy she was cast aside.
Mama Cass’s daughter reveals the truth about her death. It is an interview with Casses daughter and Michelle’s daughter. They explain what happened to Cass in her final moments. I was a huge fan of the Mamas and Papas! I grew up listening to their music and I was 4 and my brother and sisters were teenagers. It was a simple time back in the 60s and 70s. For me the music was awesome!
And Michele is still alive but they lie in the headline leading people to believe she has passed too-😡
And this is supposedly addressing “FACTS?!”??
Poor woman…it would be cool if she made a big announcement to the press that she’s still alive! She could really mess with their minds 🤔
I was born in 1969 but I miss the simpler, slower days
I’d love to go back; even if it’s before the invention of the Walkman 🧐
Aha! 😆
It IS the Walkmans fault we learned to tune-out🤪
I progressed to the Walkman and now to a smartphone and earbuds. If I went back in time...I would bring my laptop, widescreen TV , and smartphone with earbuds and wireless charging.
"California Dreamin' " was my favorite.
Some of the finest music in our lifetime..
Loved Michele in Knots Landing to continue
the love of these icons.
Cass Elliot was also the "Mama" in the Three Dog Night's "Mama Told Me Not to Come". She had warned the songwriter about the party scene in Los Angeles, which was the area where the group was from.
Only Michelle is still with us, thank God. 🙂
My favorite period in music. How about a piece on 'The Lovin' Spoonful' ? Which actually has links to this video, as shown.
Creeque Alley is my favourite song.
Mama Cass my favourite singer followed by Denny Doherty love their voices
.so strong..
I like two songs more than ever. I Saw Her Again and Got A Feeling. And I like Mama Cass' solo Make Your Own Kind of Music.
Our favorites too, you've got taste! What other types of video would you like to see?
@@FactsVerse Thanks. How about underrated or forgotten 60s and 70s comedians? I'd say I'd like to hear about Shecky Green, Allen Sherman and Willie Tyler and Lester
"How *Each* of the Mamas & the Papas Died" is a nonsense title, for Michelle is alive and well.
Michelle is still alive
As far as I know and it is documented, Denny Doherty had a romance with Michelle Phillips and not with Mama Cass
Hey - get facts right:
Michelle aint dead!
Nice to see someone who tells the FACTS about the death of Cass Elliott!
Mama Cass was phenomenal
Denny Doherty also narrated and played as “The Harbormaster” on the popular CBC/PBS Tv show “Theodore Tugboat”
Very interesting, thank you so much for sharing this info. What other types of video would you like to see?
Believe it or not, the house in London where Cass Elliott died is the same house where just 4 years later in 1978 Keith Moon died of a drug overdose (ironically in the same bedroom as well)!
The flat was actually owned by singer Harry Nillson.
Incredibly after Moon's death Nillson sold the property because he felt that it was cursed!
No good looking woman would/should walk into that bedroom, why you ask "Because they are drop dead gorgeous" ...
@tapper701 I like that one bro!🤣
Very interesting, thank you so much for sharing this info! May Cass and Keith find peace 😥😥
@@FactsVerse And Harry Nillson as well. Gone at 54 and not a "rock & roll" death, what a waste.
Not perfectly correct but probably one of the best summaries of the Mamas & Papas online to date.
Hands down it was Cass that made this group a voice you recognize anywhere like John Denver or Karen Carpenter ,,,Cass Elliott
Cass was the voice, Michelle the face
There is a sick joke circulating. If Cass Elliot shared her sandwich with Karen Carpenter would they both still be alive?
That is sick. Why keep repeating it?
John wrote ALL the songs!-Denny lead singer.Cass lead harmony,Michelle 2nd harmony.All their biggest hits teatured Denny as the lead,especially monday monday.
I've always loved Cass. Her dance moves were on another level ❤
See: Mackenzie Phillips Tells Larry King About Incest By Father.
I wish I was born in the 50s so I could have been old enough to see all these awesome artists play live . I hate being born in 90. The music in the 60s - 80s was soooo good
Fun stuff, thanks for sharing! What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
It's bittersweet to learn about their individual journeys, struggles, and the paths they took after the band's dissolution.
Thanks for watching! We're glad to know that you love our video. What other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
My favorite California Dreaming
Mama Cass
Monday Monday I can listen to that song all day any day
You should do a video tittled "How each of the cast members of Gilligans Island died." Then not mention anything about Ginger and Mary ann still being alive.
Pretty sure only Ginger is still with us.
@Skycladatdusk78 . Yes. I just found out Dawn Wells died in 2020. I didn't know that.
My fav was - Dedicated to the one I love 🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️
So you mean, "How 2 of the Mamas and Papas died". I didn't get a "how" for Denny, and Michelle is alive.
I remember watching Denny on Theodore tugboat
Each one of them had individual talent. Together they gave many memorable songs. All good things come to an end and as such things do. There should be no sadness, their legacy is left and is playing on and still being enjoyed. What else is there to say.
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
Do you have any videos regarding story of Everley Brothers, Beach Boys or The Monkees also Ike & Tina Turner. Lastly also liked Norman Greenbaum - Spirit in the Sky. Apologise for the tall order. I am smiling here, I have given you a tall order, do not worry if it cannot be arranged. You did kindly ask. Really appreciate the work you are doing, great to see this media has great folks and is not all bad!
Ca dreamen a touch of winter day
Mama Cass was my favorite by far.
Us too! You've got taste. Which sog is the most memorable for you?
I'm a 74 year old Scotsman and I have loved Mama Cass since the first time I heard her voice and Make Your Own Kind Of Music is my favourite song of all time and I still listen to it every single day of my life - R.I.P. Cass 😢💔🙏🏴
Only 3 have passed away not 4
MacKenzie Phillips accused her dad of incest. He could not reply because he was already deceased.
I'll be the odd man out, my favorite is Denny Doherty. Very underrated singer. And my favorite song is one where his vocals are dominant, Monday, Monday. Creeque Alley a close second.
So true! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. what other types of video would you like to see?
My fav song is Monday, Monday! 😊
One of our favorites too, you've got taste! What other types of video would you like to see?
Hey, Michelle ain’t dead yet
Don’t let Mama get to the table first
What me worry?
Unless you own a Burger King franchise :) maybe OK then ?
Cass Elliott, beautiful voice. Dream a little dream.

Cass had some pipes.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
Long Beach used to be a good neighborhood.
Would probably help if the subtitles kept up with the vocal info.
Mama Cass is by far one of my favorite ALL time
So Michelle Phillips didn't die...
great band
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. Which of their songs appealed to you the most?
Now we have a hillybilly culture
and we have the hip hop/ rap culture taking over all of pop culture. i dont know which one is worse.
Philips was a monster from hell
God bless the ones gone.
for sure, the Michelle Phillips !
If Cass Elliot went for an audition today she wouldn't make it past the door. Pretty sad when an IQ of 80 and being able to "twerk" is considered talent. John Phillips had an "alleged and at times controversial" relationship with Mackenzie? Whatever else he did in his life is all undone with that sick behavior. It started when she was 19 and didn't end until the night before her wedding. I can still sing all the words but thinking about this pig getting his own daughter stoned and then sleeping with her turns my stomach. At least Chynna Phillips & Wilson Phillips seemed to turn out okay. And I thought my family was nuts.
Yes, California Dreamin

The sandwich thing came from a police report, which stated there was a sandwich on the bedside table, untouched - but some journalist either didn't read it properly or perhaps went with it because it sounded more salacious said she choked on a sandwich.
Thanks for watching! We're glad to know that you love our video. What other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
Cass Elliot had a hit in 1969 called It's Getting Better. Some couples have "their song" and that was mine and Janet's, my girlfriend at the time. I still have the 45. Too bad Mamma Cass died so young. She had an amazing voice, powerful, clarion and a range that might have worked well in operetta had she pursued that genre.
I had no favorite but developed a craving for ham sandwiches.
Lol, nice one! What other types of video would you like to see?
Mama cass ❤️
California dreamer will forever live in my heart. I have loved the mamas & the Pap😂pas, since I first head the son😂g, in the sixties still do ❤❤😂😂
One of our favorites too, you've got fine taste! What other types of video would you like to see?
I love Denny Daugherty
Michelle has kicked all their butts
I think I lean towards "Creeque Alley" and "Twelve-Thirty".
Favorite song = California Dreamin'. All members were my favorite.
Production quality greatly affected their sound. Multiple overdubbing of the harmony parts added both depth and intensity to them.
They are not all dead, Michelle Phillips is still very much alive. Get your facts right, poor video choice.
What do you mean "each"? Michelle Phillips is still alive!
Cass would be considered slim in today's world
