That was Mama Cass of the Mamas and the Papas.

“I thought she died while eating a sandwich?”

You’re thinking of Mama Cass...

Speaking of which, just think of what the effect on the music world would have been if Karen Carpenter had the ham sandwich that Mama Cass choked to death on...

Musical trivia note: Karen Carpenter also recorded with “Anne O’Rexia and the Nobody Eight”...

Mama Cass choking to death on a ham sandwich is a MYTH. Read up. I saw a Biography on her the other night and her daughter says the doctor on the scene was looking to get his name in the paper and started that rumour in the press. It hurts her daughter to this day every time someone jokes about it.
