I was bullied in high school by a girl named Jean. Every chance she got she'd call me "Mama Cass." It destroyed me back then but all I can say now is "Thanks for the compliment, Jean." RIP beautiful Cass Elliott.

Frankly, I have always admired Mama Cass for having the guts to get up on stage in front of sometimes huge audiences as big as she was, not letting her size or appearance get in her way to success. Keep in mind that in the 60s and early 70s people were a lot thinner, and she would have been considered morbidly obese. If she was alive today she would just look like the vast majority of women waddling around walmart.

Singing acapella (Heartaches etc., ) I love the oldies... Perfect pitch IS very rare. I have "relative" pitch...but Mama Cass just " floated her voice through both the alto and the soprano so strongly" as if singing was absolutely effortless! What a great lady! You can hear her taking her "controlled" breaths between phrases...called " evenly executed breathing" I think, not sure. And the LA DE DA parts, Do viewers get the "feeling" that those were the "notes" she wanted a guitarist to play FOR her somehow ? When others sing her song, they always leave that part out; I think it's her special "composing on the spot?" What a great lady and singer !

I have a feeling they would have maintained that rich sound because Joni smokes and her voice has become more gravelly. I was going to include Judy Collins.

Richard Ellens, I agree...if only Mama Cass would have shared that ham sandwich with Karen Carpenter they would both be alive today...

As a young lad growing up in a gloomy overcast Northern England in the 60s she epitomised everything I thought about being young and care free where the sun always shines. Sadly her health took her away far too early.

She’d been unwell a couple of weeks earlier before her scheduled appearance on The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson; she was taken to hospital and put it down to exhaustion. She then appeared in a series of solo concerts at The Palladium in London. There were some parties given in her honour by other celebrities, to celebrate her success, She left the last one of these at 8.00pm, saying she felt exhausted. She died in her sleep several hours later.

This song means so much to me. Especially that line: "'Cause it hangs them up to see someone like you." I'm sure Mama Cass, like myself, felt the pain that comes with being a larger woman. Back then, it must have been even lonelier, because there weren't nearly as many women her size back then, especially on the popular music scene. But she went and made her own kind of music, just like in the song. I love her.

If it helps, Mama Cass was always far and away the more popular of the two ladies in the Mama & the Papas. As lovely as Michelle Phillips was, she lacked the personality and charm that Cass had that made her a fixture on shows like Sonny & Cher. She also had a flair for comedy. I LOVED Mama Cass as a kid. I never cared about her size.

Cass Elliott had one of those special voices. If you ever have this song blasting in your ear that last "You Gotta" just gives goosebumps every time. She just sings and lets the voice come out of her the way it is, no artifice, no extras, just her. She was Boy George's favorite singer.

What a special talent.

This song could / should be used for wonderful uplifting social messages to the people of the world !!!!!! Brilliant lyric... Brilliant song sung by a beautiful woman...love ya always Mama Cass !!

Nobody can tell ya; There's only one song worth singin', They may try and sell ya, 'Cause it hangs them up to see someone like you. But you've gotta make your own music Sing your own special song, Make your own kind of music even if nobody else sings along. You're gonna be knowing The loneliest kind of lonely, It may be rough goin', Just to do your thing's the hardest thing to do. But you've gotta make your own music Sing your own special song, Make your own kind of music even if nobody else sings along. So if you cannot take my hand, And if you must be goin', I will understand. But you've gotta make your own music Sing your own special song, Make your own kind of music even if nobody else sings along

Really? You are either joking or you are hard of hearing. Cass had a very powerful voice but it has an abrasive edge to it. It is not a smooth voice. Listen to a voice like Alicia Keys and then the abrasiveness of Cass's voice will stun you. Although I acknowledge that Cass had good pipes and musical talent, I actually can't stand to listen to loud, caberet, Broadway show, belt-it-out voices like Cass, Bet Midler, Ethel Mermon. It is a a bombastic style and not smooth and velvety and pleasant. My opinion.
