Problems playing this file ? See media help. `` California Dreamin ' '' is a song written by John Phillips and Michelle Phillips and was first recorded by Barry McGuire. However, the best - known version is by the Mamas & the Papas, who sang backup on the original version and released as a single in 1965. The song is No. 89 in Rolling Stone 's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. The lyrics of the song express the narrator 's longing for the warmth of Los Angeles during a cold winter in New York City. The song became a signpost of the California Myth and the arrival of the nascent counterculture era. `` California Dreamin ' '' was certified as a Gold Record ( single ) by the Recording Industry Association of America in June 1966 and was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2001.

He dreamed about the song and woke her up to help him write it. At the time, John and Michelle Phillips were members of the folk group the New Journeymen, which evolved into the Mamas & the Papas. They earned their first record contract after being introduced to Lou Adler, the head of Dunhill Records, by Barry McGuire. In thanks to Adler, they sang the backing vocals to `` California Dreamin ' '' with members of the session band The Wrecking Crew on McGuire 's album This Precious Time. The Mamas & the Papas then recorded their own version using the same instrumental and backing vocal tracks to which they added new vocals and an alto flute solo by Bud Shank, which was thought to be the inspiration for the main theme of Andrew Lloyd Webber 's tune for `` Memory ''. P.F. Sloan performed the guitar introduction. McGuire 's original vocal can be briefly heard on the left channel at the beginning of the record, having not been completely wiped. The single was released in late 1965 but was not an immediate breakthrough. After gaining little attention in Los Angeles upon its release, Michelle Phillips remembers that it took a radio station in Boston to break the song nationwide. After making its chart debut in January 1966, the song peaked at number 4 in March on both the Billboard Hot 100, lasting 17 weeks, and Cashbox, lasting 20 weeks. `` California Dreamin ' '' was the number 1 single of 1966 in Billboard and tied for number 1 with `` Ballad of the Green Berets '' in Cashbox. `` California Dreamin ' '' also reached number 23 on the UK charts upon its original release and re-charted after its use in a Carling Black Label commercial in 1997, peaking at number 9 there. Cover versions America version `` California Dreamin ' '' Single by America from the album California Dreaming soundtrack B - side `` See It My Way '' ( by F.D.R. ) Released March 1979 Format Vinyl Recorded Studio 55 ( Hollywood ) 1978 Genre soft rock Length 2 : 44 Label American International Songwriter ( s ) John Phillips, Michelle Phillips Producer ( s ) Dewey Bunnell, Gerry Beckley America singles chronology `` Do n't Cry Baby '' ( 1977 ) `` California Dreamin ' '' ( 1979 ) `` Only Game in Town '' ( 1979 ) `` Do n't Cry Baby '' ( 1977 ) `` California Dreamin '' ( 1979 ) `` Only Game in Town '' ( 1979 ) In the spring of 1979 the band America reached No. 56 on the Billboard Hot 100 with their remake of `` California Dreamin ' '' which was the first studio recording by America as the duo of Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell without third founding member Dan Peek who had departed the group in 1977. Bunnell -- who sang lead -- and Beckley -- who sang background -- self - produced the track which featured America 's touring musicians : David Dickey, drummer Willie Leacox, guitarist Michael Woods, percussionist Tom Walsh, and Jim Calire who played keyboards and also saxophone. America had performed `` California Dreamin ' '' at least on occasion in concert as early as 1974, `` California Dreamin ' '' being a sentimental favorite of the band 's members having been a setlist staple of the cover band in which all three had performed while London Central High School students in the late 1960s. The recording of `` California Dreamin ' '' by America was specifically made for the soundtrack of the American International Pictures ( AIP ) movie release California Dreaming which had been shot in the final months of 1977 : Beckley and Bunnell agreed to record the song after being ( at least partially ) shown the movie -- ( Gerry Beckley quote :) `` We liked what we saw '' -- and the track was recorded in the 1978 sessions for the movie 's soundtrack at Studio 55 ( Hollywood ) : ( Gerry Beckley quote : ) `` We did it more as a rock thing ( compared to the original ), ( with ) a full sound but reliant on the harmonies. '' Although the movie California Dreaming had a projected summer 1978 release date, the release of the film -- which featured America 's `` California Dreamin ' '' under its closing credits -- would be postponed until 16 March 1979 : factoring into the movie 's release was the agreement made by AIP in February 1978 for the California Dreaming soundtrack to be distributed by Casablanca Records which company had recently managed to bolster the modest success of the film Thank God It 's Friday through a hit soundtrack album and the recording of `` California Dreamin ' '' by America was given parallel release with the movie, another soundtrack item : `` See It My Way '' by session group F.D.R., serving as B - side. Both the America single and ( in April 1978 ) the soundtrack album were issued by AIP on its own label ( distributed by Casablanca ) : outside the US and Canada, Casablanca acted as label of release. By the spring of 1979 America were involved in sessions for their Capitol Records debut album Silent Letter and were either unable or uninterested in promoting their version of `` California Dreamin ' '' which single proved unable to buoy its parent film 's faltering box office take. However the publicity inherent in the film 's release was evidently enough to afford minor hit status to America 's soundtrack item ( heard in the film 's trailer, America 's `` California Dreamin ' '' was also cited in the movie 's poster ), and despite its lowly chart peak America 's `` California Dreamin ' '' remake would be more successful than any of their first five Capitol single releases none of which ranked in the Hot 100 ( the band 's sixth Capitol single release : `` You Can Do Magic '', would in 1982 afford the band a sole latterday Top Ten hit ). `` California Dreamin ' '' continued to be featured in America 's live gigs eventually being established as a mandatory America concert title. A live performance of the song by America is featured on In Concert the band 's 1996 album release of a 1982 live gig. The band 's 1978 recording has been included on the 2000 America retrospective box set Highway : 30 Years Of America also being featured in 2001 on The Complete Greatest Hits.
