Sullivan never let groups lip sync. His sound crew was notoriously horrid, so big groups like the Mamas and the Papas, Rolling Stones, etc. would bring their own sound people. The poor Cowsills didn't bring their own and the sound cut out during the second half of The Rain, The Park and Other Things.

As a compromise, Kurt was allowed to sing live, which he took advantage of by singing in a really bored manner and with a absurdly deep voice. And he didn't even play his guitar, while Krist (bass) went completely nuts and Dave just hit his drums completely randomly.

I think because there was truly a feeling of "hope" that the world could become a "better place", whatever that means, and that music could be a big part of making that happen. Looking back on it now, it was probably naive, grandiose, and silly, but that kind of thinking was in the air for artists and young people who listened to the music. I am of that era (born in 57), so yes the nostalgia is so strong it hurts at times to listen to these songs and watch the performances. And I'm sure there are many talented musicians being born today who would be capable of creating songs like this, but unfortunately most of the stuff you hear on mainstream playlists today are pure, unadulterated autotuned garbage.

The way she was too stone and eat that banana

I love The Mamas and The Papas since age 11 when my older sister had a record album that had this song on it ! They are really awesome they were a awesome 60s group ! I was 11 in 1967 .

Ed Sullivan had the knack of harnessing the very best of musical talent back in the 1960s and this 1967 rendition is typical. This is such a classic, that it is difficult to comprehend that it was released a lifetime ago, topping the charts in 1965, when I was still a student in 4th year architecture at UNSW, but then it was the '60s, beginning the halcyon period for popular music and Humanity itself, with the boffins citing 1960-90 as the zenith period for our species, never to return, so make the most of all from that time. The Mamas & Papas were the supreme exponents of group harmony, and still lead a very competitive pack with the Beegees and Beachboys nipping at their heels, but a key line in their massive hit "Dedicated to the One I Love", (each time I pray for you my baby) still rates in my humble opinion as the epitome of perfect harmony in a wealth of purveyors in that three decade period that is poorly missing in century 21 music. Sadly their time ended with the untimely death of Cass Elliot in 1983, prompting the pundits to laconically say that if Mama Cass had given that sandwich to Karen Carpenter, they would both still be with us today. Be that as it may, we have the legacy of their audial creativity 57 years on from a time in the USA, when life was peaceful and mass gun violence was unheard of, and my lengthy double greyhound bus circuit time there in 1978 remains etched in my memory half a century on. Enjoy this & all the wonderful musical contributions of the Mamas & Papas.

Cass Elliot fallecio en 1974 y para ese entonces ya se habian separado porque su musica habia pasado de moda...

I was in love with mama Cass from the first moment I heard her voice. She'd been dead for years when I first found her. It still breaks my heat to think she's not with us any more.

Right the true talent of the group. If she looked like Michelle she would have been a mega star

What a friggin tune this is, never gets old and the most 60s set and look there is, love it

Mama casssss❤❤❤❤❤❤

I'm so excited to perform this towards Christmas time. What an amazing feeling to play this

This song will never die

Wow..you can hear Cass..what a powerhouse..really like her gown too

I'm so STOKED to find a video with Michelle performing BAREFOOT! ❤💙💜 ❤💙💜

🎶 I think this song and performance by them represents the late 1960s PERFECTLY!

Love the Bright colored outfits and the lovely voices which brought meaning to our lives! Enjoy March 20, 2021....Spring is Here! Peace ✌️ ♥️

this is hysterical. I like how Michelle apparently lost her mic and is singing into the banana at the end. also the part where John is clearly talking to her regardless of the recorded song continuing to play.

Incomparable la vos de mamá Cass, hermosa vos

This is awesome. This is the first time ever hearing about this and seeibg this. Love it!!!

Momma Cass , I loved you then and I still love you now . We carried your music to Nam with us and on my part , I think that's what got us lucky dogs through . Your in MY heart forever along with all the other great music of the time . Your good friend Vinny in good old Fla.

Cass has the only live mic, and she's doing some great stuff throughout the song, especially towards the end.

Mama Cass was part of my childhood. It's cool how new commercials are playing her songs. The marketing guys know how to perk up baby boomers. I heard "u gotta go where u want to go" & "Make Your Own Kind of Music" & I immediately came here to see who sang it. 1966 & 1969 - Mama Cass, I Was 7. Their music lives on and brings you back to a kid. So uplifting. I had to share my feelings. Anyone else here b/c they heard those commercials?

I think John was tell her to pick up the fire hydrant which she did when they got to the bridge in the song. He even sort of looks or nods towards the fire hydrant with his head.

I was 17 years old then. What great times those were thank you God for creating me when you did. Young people now have no idea how great it was back then.

It is probably pretty annoying for young people today when old people tell them how good things used to be... I believe the obvious question is who f-ed it up? If times changed for the worse during the prime of life, are not you to blame? Unless you are one of those folks that only enjoys being a Boomer when it is about a classic rock song or avoiding fighting in Vietnam or whatnot. Hey kids, it was this guy and his votes for snake-oil salesmen and actors to constantly give reaaaalllly rich people subsidies they do not need. But, my guess is Walt will blame, um hold on lemme check Fox News' chyron really quick, he will blame people from El Salvador this week. Next week, he will be assigning blame to my niece and nephew's Generation, and they are 6 and 3 years old, respectively. Boomerbuddy, look in the mirror. That is your answer. LOL. And tbh, I had a fuckin' rocking '90s childhood in Kentucky, man. But I don't quite get your point... just because I would play SNES or N64 on a rainy day, doesn't mean my childhood was ruined, right? Brother, I had fun you couldn't imagine, most of it outdoors in the gorgeous Bluegrass region of KY. So lovely. Also, I just re-read your comment. It is weird that you think G-d created you at a specific time or something so you could listen to the Mamas & The Papas. You should read the Bible, my friend. It ain't about you, dummy. I'm pretty sure you are not mentioned. Hold on, ummmmmm, flipping pages, nope. I do not see "@Walt222" in God's grand plan ha! Later HOMO (sapien).

One of their best songs, the harmonies their voices make are fantastic, and very nice to hear.

Mama Cass was a trooper that why she's the was the only one to get her own variety show later in the 70s.

I was born in 1960, the music from 60s & 70s always been with me, most everything popular debuted On the Radio. 🤩

Wow! Such amazing vocals!!

Michelle Phillips or Holly Michelle was beautiful both physically and voice, seeing that you can not stop looking at her and wishing to be by her side, wow

This performance is the most groovy thing ever. I love the Mamas and the Papas.

The tension in this performance is palpable.

i love this song because my dad grew up on it so as i was growing up i hed play this kind of music from his childhood as a way of passing down his love of this era of music

This really keeps my Californian/American Dream alive while I'm dyin rottin in India!!!!!! GOD bless. xx ❤❤❤
