Now, that’s interesting you mentioned the Mama & Papas....I Youtubed them last night for the first time, in forever. Their harmonies were sublime. The Michelle Phillips lead in on the song “Dedicated to the one I love” is off the charts incredible. She is perfection for those thirty seconds.
Yep. For some odd reason we forget The Mamas and The Papas, yet they like Dylan came out of the folk movement at about the same time.
And there couldn’t be a bigger chasm between the stunning harmonies of TMTP and the goose-squawking nasal tones of our pal Bobby Zimmerman.
