The Mamas and the Papas: Difference between revisions

** Their version of "Dedicated to the One I Love" is much better known than the earlier version released by [[The Shirelles]]. Similarly, their cover of "Dream a Little Dream of Me" (in which Mama Cass did her own whistling) charted much higher than the 1931 original by Ozzie Nelson and his Orchestra.

** Everybody thinks of [[The Beach Boys]]' cover of "Califormia Dreamin'" before the original version, even though John and Michelle Phillips were in the music video.

* [[Throw It In]]: "I Saw Her Again" was mixed incorrectly, leading to the famous and often-imitated intro "I saw her ... I saw her again".
