Free Music Notes for The Mamas & the Papas - Greatest Hits
Free Music Review: Takes me right back!
Hit: 5 Stars
I was a very young teenager when the big hits were flowing from The Mamas and The Papas, and not alone does this great compilation bring all those back for me, but it introduces me to songs I had never heard performed by them. Their version of "Do You Wanna Dance" is beautiful, their "Dancin' In The Street" has a wonderful, tight rhythm section to underpin it; and the understated "My Girl" is so reminiscent of all the great hippie music that came from Frisco in the late sixties. The Mamas and The Papas created superb harmonies, they must have been so proud when listening to the final mixes. Now, with the great quality on this CD, we can hear subtleties that even they probably missed! Free Music Review: The Mamas and Papas-Greatest hits

I forgot just how good this group was. At an age of 55 it made me feel like I was 25 again singing along with them. What beautiful harmonies. It is a wonderful CD.Free Music Review: Mamas and Papas Greatest Hits
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD includes 20 hits that capture the essence of the group during its peak. Included are three of my all-time favorites: "California Dreamin'," "Monday, Monday," and "Dream a Little Dream of Me." The harmony and messages remain timeless classics. Free Music Review: A harmonic sound all their own
Hit: 5 Stars
'The Mamas and the Papas' had a sound all their own, a unique kind of Southern California blend, a harmony of at times melancholy beauty. They had one great singer, Mama Cass, whose 'Dream a Little Dream of me' is perhaps the closest thing they ever produced to a really great 'solo'. Their signature song and one of the unforgettable sixties song is 'California Dreaming'. It seemed to express a certain haunting longing , the longing for a place which then represented to many Americans, California, the golden land of escape and new home.
John Phillips who like Mama Cass is no longer with us was the arranger, director who really made the 'Mamas and Papas' into such a great group.
It is strange even then their sound evoked a certain feeling of 'nostalgia' but four decades later the jump of initial joy hearing them brings is truly complemented by the sense of a world long gone.
Free Music Review: Great Oldies
Hit: 5 Stars
I enjoy classic rock, and the Mama's and Papa's music is superb, and reminds me of years gone by!
