Mama Cass Elliot made her biggest impression on me when she appeared in the Pufnstuf Movie as Witch Hazel, it was 1970 or 1971. She sang a great song, Different and was a nice character. I do remember her voice. I thought she had a great voice at the time. Later I discovered the Mama's and the Papa's.
Most recently I've noticed her daughter has an official website, and some CD's and DVD's to sell. All good. Cass Elliot's sound was so rich and clean. The influence of her work on Jonathan Harvey's sweet play Beautiful Thing about the two young gay lads in the housing projects, is quite strong. The elated emotional pitch and fluidity of Cass Elliot's voice was the perfect way to tease out the charming love story. The diamond in the rough.
Cass Elliot is always highly spoken of, and was a social woman when she lived. She was involved in bringing musicians together and encouraging bands to form.
Her name comes up again and again in documentaries, notably Under The Covers the very very good (yes, very very good), documentary about record covers. I think that's where there's a fun story about bubble gum if my memory serves me.
A nostalgic journey through the legendary rock world of the 1960's and 1970's, UNDER THE COVERS explores a period in musical history which was one of the most influential and fruitful of all time. As viewed through the lens of famed photographer Henry Diltz, the documentary combines archival photos, interviews, home movies, and anecdotes which humanize rock icons
