'''The Mamas and the Papas''' was a - no, ''the'' - 1960s folk-pop band from Southern California. What made them stand out at first was that, in an age of girl groups and boy bands, they had a mixed-gender lineup: Cass Elliot, Michelle Phillips, John Phillips, and Denny Doherty, backed by session musicians. Then people heard their music, and they didn't need a gimmick to stand out.
Line 33:
* [[Write What You Know]]/[[Write Who You Know]]: "Creeque Alley" is a concise history of the evolution of the folk-rock scene in the 1960s, namechecking not only the members of the Mamas and the Papas, but various other musicians and groups who became famous in their own right, like [[The Lovin' Spoonful]]. It also describes some of the Mamas and the Papas' travels and misadventures.
