Re: The Mamas & The Papas ~ Appreciation Thread

"California Dreaming" was a real ear opener on the radio when the Mamas & the Papas hit big with it early in 1966. Their hauntingly beautiful follow-up hit may be my favourite by the Mamas & the Papas:

Truckin!

I love your post, I was in a hurry to get out of the house this morning and didn't have enough time to properly respond. I'm still a bit short of time but I wanted to add that we saw Dave Mason a year or two ago and that he's still great.

Please continue to add 'stuff' ..

Btw ~ I really liked the videos ..

Oh good! I saw Dave Mason back in the 90's. I should look up where he's playing now.

Their harmonies are so beautiful and distinctive. I think Denny is one of the most underrated singers in pop history. They're one of the greatest all-time feel good bands.
