The Mamas & the Papas

The Mamas & the Papas were a 1960s folk rock group, consisting of "Mamas" Cass Elliot and Michelle Phillips and "Papas" John Phillips (who wrote many of their songs) and Denny Doherty. Despite a relatively short span (recording as a group between 1965 and 1968), the band achieved hit singles and albums, with their best known songs including "California Dreamin'," "Monday, Monday," and "Twelve Thirty."
In 1968, before the band's breakup, three-fourths of the group (Cass Elliot, John Phillips, and Denny Doherty, misspelled "Dougherty") were interviewed in the Jim Henson produced documentary Youth 68. A sample of the Mamas & the Papas' song "Twelve Thirty" is included on the film's soundtracks.
