They are the [[Trope Codifier]] for '60s folk-pop. Even in the early 2020s, people still remember "California Dreamin'" (1965), "Monday Monday" (1966, the song that won them a [[Grammy Award]]), and other songs by The Mamas and the Papas.
They played the Monterey Pop Festival, cementing them as one of the musical voices of the Summer of Love. John Phillips co-produced ''[[Monterey Pop]]'', the movie of the festival, setting the example of filming music festivals that would be followed at [[Woodstock]] and Altamont.
In the early 1980s, John Phillips and Denny Doherty spearheaded an attempt at a revival, with Phillips' daughter [[Mackenzie Phillips]] and Elaine "Spanky" McFarlane of the contemporary band "Spanky and Our Gang" joining them to form "The New Mamas and the Papas". This new incarnation of the group toured and released several live albums while undergoing multiple line-up changes, until it finally disbanded in 2000. Despite lasting much longer than its predecessor, the new band never achieved a fraction of its success or influence.
