- Aired 15 July, 1974 (according to tv.com), just two weeks before her death of a heart attack, this is most likely Cass Elliot's final television appearance and a true rarity for her fans everywhere. She is a gem to watch and listen to.

She was a great conversationalist. She could have had her own talk show.
she did in the 80s when she changed her colour and became Oprah Winfrey
She did have her own talk show .
Hahaha shed did have numerous shows of her own
@@sexobscura thought it was Bette Midler
@@lisamoroney3036 that was Carnie Wilson
That fainting episode was clearly more serious than she knew, maybe it was an early sign of heart failure.
Yes!! Bad heart rhythm !!!
It's sad watching this, knowing she had 14 days left!
@@geethebirdnerd Yep its a major sign of heart trouble esp in women comparable to the chest pain found more in men.
so sad
So very true, probably was a warning that was not picked up on
She looks better than ever here. It's unbelievable her death is only two weeks away. I feel bad for her mother.
Yes i thought the exact same thing when i saw her. She looked so together, like she was really coming into her own at the time. It must of been devastating for her family 😞 i understand Owen is a Grandmom now and she tells her grandchildren about their great grandmother ❤
I am crying. This was all like 5 years before I was born but I want this World back. :)
ShadowX011 three years before I was born, for me. I fully agree with you - I often drift into daydreams filled with sepia toned super-8 imaging, of what it must’ve been like living in the early 70s - and even in the late 60s.
She's a lot thinner here, but that's because she was starving herself. She damaged her health terribly crash dieting for years. It's part of what would kill her.
Everything is part of what will kill us
She says she is going to be 33 years old in september. She never made it. Left so soon.
and blah blah blah
She had such a brilliant mind, quick wit and beautiful voice. I really wonder where her career would have taken her. :/
Wendi Zombie probably to the moon and back.
I also think she was way sexier than Michelle.
so much fun--compassionate, funny person...prefer to remember her incredible gifts to us--one of greatest voices of 20th century.
Wendi Zombie At least nobody will criticize her for her body in Heaven; she died as an angel and had the voice of one
I definitely think she could have gotten to the level of Cher and Bette Midler, singers who transitioned to successful actresses who have won Oscars and Golden Globes. Cass had way too much charisma and talent for just the music industry. She was a true old-school all around entertainer. I like to picture her, with all due respect to Kathy Bates, as Molly Brown in "Titanic" alongside Leo and Kate.
Such a sharp, witty, lovely lady. I wish she had had a few more years.
Seems like she was a really nice lady x
Damn, dead just 13 days after this. She looks full of life and well too. It just shows, heart attacks can strike any time.
very sad
She spoke of not eating day she fainted , likely dieting ... And having some candy "to keep her going" before this interview ... Likely her body could not handle the weight loss/gain cycle ...
She did do a LOT of drugs...
Isn't it sad when she said "I'm going to be 33 in September"
yes
That made me teary when she said that. Little did she know, smh. So sad
If she were around today she'd likely still be singing and using the Net just as Michelle Williams does now, maybe more so.
Very sad a great talent left that soon.
My heart truly sank when she said that.
I don't know why It doesnt feel like this interview took place 42 years ago, it feels like you're watching an interview that took place last week and it was uploaded in potato quality.
Also it made me feel sad to see her mother and then when she talked about her boyfriend and how "I'm going to be 33 this September"
I know, it's sad, isn't it? It's wonderful to see this interview...but seems like I'd been watching the Mike Douglas show only yesterday 😔
+Steven Gorrell MD THE BEST TY HOST INTERVIEWER OF THEM ALL BAR NONE
Mike Douglas was cool, I am now 54 and remember watching him in the afternoons with my Nana Josephine back in the late 60's and early 70's! That was a great show! Merv Griffin also! ( He went into the late 80's)
Nicky Depaola you Italian I can tell
I love how Cass would literally happily talk about anything! I’ve noticed throughout the interview the topics constantly change and she’s up to chatting about anything. She was such a cool gal! Like one of those cool aunts you can talk to about anything. RIP Cass. Gone too soon.
Truth: She didn’t choke.
The unfortunate story of Elliot’s cause of death was started by a careless coroner called to examine her. He saw a ham sandwich and a Coke on a table next to the bed where Elliot's body lay… and he jumped to a very quick conclusion, stating that Elliot, not displaying symptoms of any other sort of trauma, must have choked while eating and drinking
lying down.
The story jibed with the general impression of Mrs. Elliot as gluttonous, so it stuck.But that examiner missed one pretty crucial fact: the sandwich was untouched. The investigating police officer noted that in his report, and a full autopsy showed that the actual cause of Mrs.Elliot's death was a heart attack.
She hadn't choked on anything.
Now that you know the truth about Cass Elliot, we hope you'll spread it around. If there's one thing that's even more fun than repeating a nasty rumor, it's proving that rumor wrong.
Katia Schwarzkopf I agree, I always hated that awful rumor about her. Truth is she was dieting she was shedding weight during her final year.
Katia Schwarzkopf I recall I was about 10 that I heard the news that she had passed. I was told by my aunt that she'd choked on a ham sandwich b/c it was my fave sandwich too. I found out the truth when I got older. RIP...you left us way too soon. 😔😔😔 sing your song🎵🎶
Amen! May her soul be at peace! Beautiful voice and a class act!
I heard it was a reporter that started that rumor
I hate the rumor too, and actually, I've heard it's a rumor within a rumor about a half eaten sandwich being found next to her. Apparently that itself is untrue as well. I know for sure she didn't choke, and not 100% certain but reasonably so about the story of how the rumor came to be being fake as well.
Oddly, the "Jerry Mathers killed in Vietnam" rumor also has a false story going around about how it came to be.
she was beyond her time, progressive
I agree....wasn't it funny when she hesitated to say that couples should only *live* together instead of marry?! Omg, that's so 2016!
cindybin2001 everyone used drugs in the 70s
She still is pushing the liberal agenda as Bette
@@malika3289 bc the CIA distributes them she was a dealer
@@Plathianloner did that in the seventies actually
She got a lot done in a short life. She would have been a great host of a talk show or a variety show. I so miss her voice.
A wonderful piece of history, made all the more sad knowing Cass would be dead 2 weeks later.
She came across as intelligent, honest; articulate and funny.
Personally I find Cass utterly engaging and I'm sore knowing she's no longer with us, she's beautiful and I'd loved to have met her. Great post
Trojan Skinhead Very glad you enjoyed it. And I couldn't agree more. As Michelle Phillips has said on numerous occasions, there really was no limit to what she would have accomplished had she lived. Stay tuned for more rarities :)
+Eran Edry is she kin to Joe elliott
She is not kin to anyone named Elliot as her real surname was Cohen. I think you mean Joe Cohen as she did have a brother.
RE: Cass Elliot yesssss Excellent comments. As a kid I used to watch Cass on the talk shows and she was very much as you stated and her music spoke to a whole generation of kids and teens that felt unloved, unwanted social outcasts her music gave hope and inspiration to many She has a very rare song that meant alot to kids and teens back in like 1970? called DIFFERENT she sang it in a children's movie and it was so so popular with her fans that she recorded it on one of her solor albums It's on youtube under ""Cass Elliot + Different + w/Lyrics" great song.
gives me the chills to see this before her death too makes my inner child want to yell out to her and warn her :(
she changed her last name stage name because Cohen sounded "too jewish"
She had talent, confidence, brains, ability to communicate with intelligence, and she was a comedienne too. "Only the good die young"
@cindybin2001 so did EVERYONE in Mammas and Papas, and almost all acts during the 40s - 70s. Actors and musicians of all sorts were on barbiturates and other hard drugs, as well as alcohol. Almost any group or individual you can think of during this time period was on SOMETHING.
@cindybin2001 oh, yes they were. They were against drugs bc they had DONE lots of drugs and didn't like were it lead them.
@cindybin2001 no actually, it doesn't.
@cindybin2001 A lot of people used then (and before and after those times).
Sadly, in this clip she keeps referencing what she will be doing in September, 1974. But she never lived to see it.
Which proves how short life is and that we never know from one day to the next if we will still be here on this earth
Soop sad RIP
😢 ya. She fainted from low blood sugar and that's how she died too
So sad
Such a wonderful, talented, smart lady who left us way too soon...
She seemed to have big goals.. 2 weeks later, she was taken.. Life is so cruel..
It was more than two weeks but definitely agree with you
Man, she was fucking smart.

As a Cass fan myself, I'd like to thank you ever so much for the rarity. I just think Cass was so fab, and it's such a pity that she died not long after this. She was truly a wonderful talent, ever-engaging and genuinely interesting. Fantastic to watch. Such a dynamite ending with a word from Bess, too.
+Emma Schneider So happy you've enjoyed this. These rarities are naturally so hard to come by. I hope to add more, just as soon as I get my hands on them myself.
Her version of the Bobby Darin classic.." don't you worry darling...I'll Be There"..just perfect!
she was fab---just so fun, empathetic and engaging...
Add me to the list of admirers of Cass Elliot. She was a terrific talent with one of the best female voices of her generation. And maybe several more generations! I'm so pleased this interview has been made available---thanks so much!
Before Adele there was Mama Cass. She was an amazing character and awesome singer. I can remember hearing the news of her death over the radio- it was towards the end of the summer holidays, a nice day in the park listening to the Tony Blackburn Show on Radio 1 when the announcement was made. Everyone was shocked. Amazing to think she was only 32 when she died, what a sad loss. She was taken before achieving her potential as a solo star- so much great music we will never hear
Moutton Noir it's almost as if Adele has carried on that legacy even though Adele has never mentioned Cass as an influence
After Mama Cass there was Alison Moyet, don't forget that.
great answer, Adele isnt as good as either
How can you compare Adele to Mama Cass? She had more talent in her little finger then Adele has is her whole body.
stop comparing people from different eras
Monday July 29th, 1974,..R.I.P Mama Cass Elliot.
It's a good thing we have videos like these to remember good people like her, her daughter is amazing too.
1BlubeTube IT'S 2017, CASS ELLIOT'S DAUGHTER IS 50 YRS. OLD NOW.
1BlubeTube You know I didn't first know she had married or have a kid.
chinafakeeggs She named her Owen as I own her. That's what she said in another interview. She didn't tell anyone who the father was. It was a one time thing.
WTF?
wow her mother is literally her mirror image.
I was just thinking the same thing, that we get an idea of what Cass would have looked like later on.
atourdeforce you should see her daughter.
Her younger sister and brother looked like her as well. Her sister became a singer too, her name Leah Kunkel. I heard her brother Joe passed away a few years ago.
Oh, aye
She looked so great. So full of life and personality! It's just inconceivable she would die so suddenly. Such a loss!
I have never seen this before, thank you for posting. Tragic that Cass died exactly two weeks after this show, and just a couple hours after her sellout show in London. There are so few truly great singers, maybe one per generation, and this lady was one of them. Rest in peace Mama.
My absolute favorite female singer. If I could have any singing voice I wanted, it would be Cass Elliott.
What a lovely, charismatic woman.
much love form Poland,you will be never forgotten
She seemed like such a gentle, loving soul.
Sly Stone and Cass Elliot - total 60's icons seated together.
I thought that was Sly , but wasn’t sure.
It made me tear up when she said about her birthday, and how long she'd been 'in the business'...she was a beauty gone too soon.
She was so cool, smart, fun, quick, engaging, talented, and interesting. I wish today's celebrities could take a cue from people like her...
fanofdesign
Agreed 🎶
😎
A celebrity that had intelligence and literally could talk about any topic, Politics, Sport you name it. Very down to earth and real. That's what people loved about her for sure. Huge loss to the industry and society gone too young.
Cass was indeed slimmer and felt pretty good about herself. Since she spent most of her life struggling with her weight and was always battling it, when she died so suddenly it was naturally assumed she was eating....the truth is larger people who lose weight quickly often have a strain on their heart. Hers gave out and in a moment she was gone. The music world has never been the same. I thought she was an inspiration to all people and set the bar for other vocalists. She will always be remembered as a rare talent whose voice far outreached just about every other woman of her time.
Diet pills and a past history of drug use didn't help either. Plus, she was a smoker.
I was just 11 on 7/29/74 ( my parents wedding day in 1962) and I remember my hip' Mother was sad at Cass' passing,, she told me then as a boy " Mama Cass will never be forgotten!" She was right!
Yep! God bless her soul, she was wonderful...*
Yes hers and another who left us too soon, Karen Carpenter...who was also 32 when she passed from another health issue also connected to eatting. 😞
@todd canton Yes, years of starvation diets will severely damage the health of anybody, fat or thin. It likely contributed to Cass Elliot's death.
I like her. She was smart and interesting.
I hope she rests in peace.
Cass was such a personable entertainer. She would always include the audience when she was being interviewed & her live shows looked like fun. Judging from what Cass said on her last Carson appearance, she really needed time off from touring. All of Cass' music is now on iTunes, thank u.
When she passed out before hosting the 'Tonight Show', it's very likely it was due to what caused her death... Kind of eerie in a way to hear her talk about passing out and brushing it off as 'low blood sugar'.....
+Kenni Kuhlmann-Clark yessss, very chilling to see this knowing she's going to die. My inner child wanted to just yell out and warn her :( beautiful lady
My thoughts exactly... such an incredible loss.
That was the reason she gave to the press. I suspect though after 4 days in hospital, she may have not revealed the real reason she passed out. They would have tested her for diabetes and thoroughly checked everything else, at least they should have. Diabetes sounds plausible but more likely her obesity and drug use put her heart under too much strain. She played hard and paid the price. Very sad. I absolutely adored her, still do, still listen to her music. Her voice was amazing and so was she. A beautiful and kind person. There will never be another Mama Cass
@@CovidConQuitTheCensorship I'm thinking diabetes too. RIP
@@CovidConQuitTheCensorship She starved herself for years trying to be thin. She damaged her health severely doing that, which she was at least partially aware of, even speaks of in a 1969 Esquire interview -- the dangers of losing weight thru so-called crash diets. But the pressure to be thin was too great and she continued to starve herself. I believe she knew that was why she passed out before the Carson appearance in 1974. Tho, yes, whatever she believed or was told it was, she was, according to her daughter, terrified of it hurting her career, and, of course, down played it to the press.
Thank you for this Eran........I loved this lady.....what a talent......be at peace Cass.....and thank you!!.
What a great personality. Very smart, bright, intelligent.
Huxxy
Yes she was 🍻
When I view this video...and see Cass Mom in the audience--I feel so sad of the unexpected and incredible heartbreak that her Mom would experience just two short weeks after this aired on tv.
She was so young to die….. Gone way to soon !! She seemed as though she had a lot of confidence and comfortable in her own skin. This video was sad for me to watch knowing she had only two weeks to live. Such a shame !!
absolutely loved Cass Elliot, at 53 I grew up with her LPs my mum and dad bought. a great talent, a fantastic singer. sadly missed and went way way way to soon x
What a beautiful soul!❤
Lizzett ♥️💐
interesting and really sad that the 2 greatest female voices of that era or for that matter in ALL of pop history karen carpenter and cass elliot both passed away at 32..
Florence Ballard of The Supremes also passed away at age 32.
Both had heart attacks due to rapid changes in weight as ..In Karens case it was in conjunction with the anorexia and all the pills she was taking affected her heart ...not sure why Cass heart gave out..
The irony is that one died thin, the other died a bit thick....not that it matters.
And food related issues were at the center of both deaths 😞
Cass died from a excessive build up of fatty plaque in her heart and vascular system and thats what caused her heart to stop beating. It was probably a genetic condition, exacerbated by a high calorie/high fat/high cholesterol diet. My mom who was very weight conscious all her life and seldom ate anything fatty or high calorie, had a natural condition of too high Cholesterol and needed meds for it. These meds did not exist when Cass was alive and people never were checked for high Cholesterol in the 1970s.
Karen Carpenter's heart gave out due to years of starvation, stress and drug/med use specifically laxatives and the prescription Thyroxine which is used to treat hypothyroidism. Karen was not a hypothryroid sufferer and used the drug to push her thyroid in order to stay morbidly thin. Her hearts electrical rhythm was damaged by its use and one morning she got up and collapsed trying to get dressed.
Thats how and why they died and how they became legends who will be remembered for their incredible talents and not for the sad way they left us. ❤
I never saw Ms. Cass Elliot back then on TV. Very likeable person. Seems very outspoken too. Unlike some people today who seem to be yes yes yes answerers.
Thanks for posting this
Cass Elliot: one of the most incredible voices in rock music history. She had such an amazing voice...and she seemed very sweet. So sad that two weeks after this interview, she would be dead...especially sad when she said "I'll be 33 in September" now knowing that she would not live to see it. Cass Elliot, thank you for sharing your amazing vocal talent with the world. Your fans are forever grateful. You are still and will always be loved and missed.
Great interview! Thanks so much for posting.
Cass Elliot was so bright and had such an open mind and perspective. RIP Sweetie.
She was a very talented lady who would have become an even bigger success had she lived. Very sad.
She was pretty big already
@@olsmellyknuckles9653 , she got it naturally from her mother
she may have been diabetic, when blood sugar goes dangerously low or high, that person can go into "DIABETIC COMA", and they do not pull out of it!!!!
She was ahead of her time! Such a legend...
Such a treat to see a true beauty who brought joy through her music. Such a shame she died so young, I was only 6 years old at the time of her passing. Rodney Allen Ripley so cute as always. Thank you for the upload
What a lovely lady,love her music, she was one of a kind 😍RIP mama
I can still remember listening to her sweet voice on the radio when I was a kid.
Wow. Thanks for sharing this interview.
I love Mama Cass! She was so spectacular, bright, brave, beautiful woman. I could listen to her speaking forever.
Man she was so witty. 👌🏽😎
One of my all time favourites from the 60's. She had an amazing voice and the songs are timeless.
I love her entrance! Groovey Mama 👏 💖
Such a sweet, personable, lovely lady with a brilliant mind and voice. Sad for us all that she left this world so soon. 😕💜
Liberated, progressive personified by the cool, articulate and engaging Cass Eliot. A modern-type of gal is what she stood for, and remains a haunting, singular figure and life force.....
Q: has john waters acknowledged that Cass is the inspiration for Hairspray yet ??
+DH Saunders Really?????? Cass was his inspiration for the musical HAIR Spray based on her bad school experiences?
R I P Cass Elliot we are still singing and enjoying your music into 2016
I will Dream a Little Dream of YOU tonight :)
As a kid I just adored her free spirited, easy going, liberated personality. She was bigger than life.
I think her heart was so over filled with love for people and joy from music that her heart couldn't take anymore
Shortly before her death, Ms. Elliot had talked to her friend Michelle Phillips from the music group and told her that she was getting standing ovations from her British fans at The London Palladium where she was performing solo. She struggled so very much to make a solo career for herself and to separate herself from the music group. She did not want to be called Mama and even had a song or monologue called Dont Call Me Mama Anymore
NOTE: Mama was slang for the female companion, usually wife or girlfriend of a male biker and Papa was the name of the biker boyfriend or husband to the woman that would sit behind him on a motorcycle.
It took years n years to clear up that terrible Hollywood misunderstanding about how she died.
Cass' only daughter Owen Elliot Kugell resembles her and made a guest appearance in the music group of Michelle William's daughter where they sang some songs that Cass had sung Owen's singing voice is a bit deeper than that of her mother's
Checkout a great rare rare song that Cass sang in a children's movie called "Different"
the song was so popular for kids and teens that she recorded it on one of her solo albums The song spoke to the many unloved, outcast kids, teenagers, gay closeted teens as well of the time. The song is posted on youtube under
"Cass Elliot + Different + Lyrics" Cass's singing is also featured throughout a British teen coming of age movie called: Beautiful Thing
She was such a uniquely strong and brave young woman.
Cass, Mike Douglas, sigh...I'm 54 this November, and I miss this, yet I'm lucky to have been born in an era where I got to see it when it aired...
She was a really great mama.
What an amazing charismatic talented funny and beautiful person was she. Passed alway far to early...😢 Powerfull voice, in the group The Mama's and papa's and also solo !!! R.I.P. Cass
i've watched this so many times, i never get tired of listening to her talk
So wise for 32 years old. She knew herself so well and most people leave this world not knowing what they want or much about their true selves, really. Smart, beautiful, talented, and one of a kind, she was.
It's sad that her mother Bess (who we see in the audience as the proud mama) outlived her by 20 years. Her mom appeared to also be a big-boned and heavier set lady but unfortunately the past drug use, yo-yo dieting and the stress of showbiz and her career took a toll on Cass' heart. It was just too much to take which is sad because in the figurative sense she had the biggest, best heart of anyone on the planet then and since.
Weight issues are often genetic, sadly.
Wow outlived her by 20 years huh? I didn't know that
Cass and her mother are way ahead of their time. RIP to both of them lovely ladies❤💐🥀
The great legend would not live to the end of that month. What a loss. What a tragedy. We miss you Cass.
If she was around today she would be classified as a big beautiful woman. She was funny, smart and she could blow anyone off the stage with that big beautiful voice of her's.
Nothing beautiful about obesity, in fact it's what got her killed so young.
Cass...you're still an omg...I know you're in Gods choir..
@@kurziieee Well, that's your opinion! Lots of women AND men are OBESE, as society terms it, and lots of others find them HOT and drop-dead gorgeous. And lots of thin people drop dead young to old- from heart ailments too. A co-worker of mine just had a heart attack at 28 and he's thin, and fit! Being thin is no guarantee of a healthy heart. So, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Paul Rubens, who was considered one of the greatest painters of his age painted "fleshy" or fat women who he believed to be OMG gorgeous and arousing to him sexually.
@@notsocommonsense9100 She was morbidly obese and died because of it, just facts.
@@kurziieee According to what we know today, she actually died from yo-yo dieting which is chronic weight fluctuation over years of dieting to lose weight. Only God knows if she would have lived much longer if only she had been comfortable with herself, happy, and just accepted the fact that she was never going to be thin. It's been proven by science that's it's better to be steadily and constantly overweight, than it is to be consistently losing then gaining weight over time.
Poor poor kid. She was so damn funny and cool. Man.
So if you want to know exactly how come Cass came to be such an amazing wonderful human being, clearly you just need to look at Mrs Cohen!!! I adored this so much. So sad it was so close to her death. She's just too alive to not be here, even now.
I love the way you protect people's dignity. Especially Cass Elliot. I like your guidelines! I was too young to know why I loved her when I did LOL
I can see why so many people were drawn to her. She is so charming and personable. The term down to earth gets thrown around a lot but Cass Elliot truly seemed to be the definition of. I bet the autobiography she would have written would have been something, so would seeing and hearing her reaction to the times these days.
Absolutely one of the most brilliant female singers of all time ..........my fav
Delighted to see that you've enjoyed the video, Patricia. Thanks for the lovely feedback. This is what this channel is all about. Cass rarities for her many fans. Hope to add more clips in the future.
I loved her singing voice: talented she was
Love me some Mama Cass! Bless her Soul... This was just 2 weeks before she left us for her reward.
What a beautiful woman and soul she was
I love watching this interview! LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU Cass! I had some Tastykakes and a ham sammy for you today! Happy Birthday!
Can anyone imagine a 32 yo female singer/celebrity of today being ^THIS^ intelligent and mature?? I certainly can't!
Cass Elliot was truly a woman ahead of her time. She was warm, funny, caring, loving and incredibly talented. I identify with her a lot. I am just very grateful that we had her for as long as we did. No doubt, she is up in Heaven spreading her love, joy, and music around, with Denny and her buddies! Thank-you Cass, for the beautiful memories. We Love You.
Great lady, great singer, so glad she gave us her voice and music, she will always be with us musically.
sad "I,ll be 33 in september" god bless,sadly cass never made it.
Having symptoms and dying 2 weeks before this interview. She was so happy and so hilarious I would of loved to seen her grow up. Poor thing and family.
After not before
Such a beautiful lady in every way. RIP sweet lady.
She looks thinner here! Rest In Peace Cass! I was only 18 months old when you passed but I love you and your angelic voice! I think she’s my favorite girl singer of all time and she was beautiful!!
dead 2 weeks later...so alive here
She seemed full of life in this interview.
🥀She was so wonderful and beautiful. I loved her for being herself that was a brilliant artist she had everything going for her but when I heard that she had died in the 70s it broke my heart. Thank you for sharing this video it's priceless and unbelievable🥀🕊🥀☝️
I wish there were more - this was wonderful!
As one given appetite suppressants off-label as a pick me up and study aid by a family GP in late 80s Britain, I see Cass had lost an enormous amount of weight and once more media have concealed the facts about her untimely death. All but one of those meds have been withdrawn precisely due to congestive heart failure now. Ironically, the heavier, the greater risk such diet pills pose.
Such a terrible loss. I've loved Cass Elliot since finding her Don't Call Me Mama Anymore LP in a bargain store
My mom used to sing dream a little dream of me when I was little.
Barbara Moloney Moloney h
I am now 56 and loved " Mama Cass " bless her soul , she died on July 29th, my parents wedding day, just 2 weeks after this ! We never know ?
so beautiful inside and out ... she totally was the star of the mamas and papas ..
great great talent
Jenn Campbell The Mamas and The Papas were four equal points on a compass but Cass shone a light that was unlike any other, one that still shines.
I would have loved to just hang out with her. She is genuine, she is who she is and makes no apologies.
sadly cass didn't make it to 33 god bless cass you were a great singer.
Two weeks later , July 29, 1974, …..the world lost a great talent, a bright 🌟…….RIP Mama Cass ❤️
14 days later, dead. She was the greatest singer ever. RIP.
