Твърди се, че Мишел Филипс е яла банан в знак на протест срещу това, че е била накарана да синхронизира устните си.

Did you know The Mamas and The Papas almost had an animated special?

[copy-pasted from my Reddit post on this topic]

In 1966, Format Productions, the animation studio behind “The Alvin Show” and “The Lone Ranger”, created cartoon designs of the band that were used in the poster of their August 1966 Hollywood Bowl concert, among other stationary.

According to two Variety articles from September and October 1966, Format was actually working on a half-hour animated special starring the band.

However, the project was seemingly cancelled, and Format ultimately shut down in the 1970s.

The special has only been passively mentioned in cartoon articles and unverified comments claiming that the special was apparently half-completed, the band planned to provide voices for their animated counterparts, and that it was cancelled due to disinterest from networks.

We do have material beyond the posters though, as ex-Format animators have provided a few cels to M&P historian/archivist Rich C Bart, and a few production drawings have gone on auction on eBay.

The cel with Cass Elliot in a toga featuring TV host Jack Benny, however, is allegedly not from the special but rather an unidentified 1960s Jack Benny project.

Unfortunately, due to the passage of time and the fact that many relevant personnel have already been contacted about this, it’s unlikely any more info or material will surface about the special.

The Mamas & the Papas, 1967

[marcusrobertobaq]

The terrifying AU where Daniel was once in love with Caroline and pissed she didn't do anything to stop John from "replacing" him, so he kills him both cuz John was going to replace him and cuz he knew it'd hurt Caroline a lot. So in a sense taking Emma hostage is also an attempt in trynna make Caroline suffer.

Cons: Daniel doesn't care about human lives here (besides maybe Emma's), he'd def just kill both Caroline and John rather than trynna fuck with Caroline emotionally first by killing the guy.

John Phillips, Michelle Phillips and Denny Doherty with Herb Alpert at the 1967 Grammy Awards. Cass did not attend the awards, due to the fact she was about 8 months pregnant with Owen at the time🌵🌻🌵

They won "Best Pop performance by a duo or group with vocals" and "Best Contemporary performance" but were also nominated for "Best Record" and "Best performance by a vocal group" which (I think) both were won by the 5th dimension for "Up, up an🍂

The Mama & The Papas - John Phillips

[singeratlarge]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Scott McKenzie, the singer-songwriter best known for his association with John Phillips and the 1967 Summer of Love anthem “San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair),” the sonic tract that called 1000s of young people to California.

 

Phillips (who played on the track with The Wrecking Crew) wrote the song to appease authorities concerned that hippies would overrun the Bay Area for the Monterey Pop Festival. Peace and love prevailed. The song has been used in several films and was a theme for the Prague Spring Czech uprising in 1968. That same year, McKenzie’s next Top 40 hit “Like an Old Time Movie” (also written and played by Phillips) segued with McKenzie writing “What About Me” for Anne Murray (her first hit single).

 

Like many artists circa 1960, McKenzie morphed out of doo-wop and became a folkie, joining the New York folk scene that beget The Mamas & The Papas. Phillips initially invited McKenzie to join that group but he declined, saying he didn’t want “the pressure.” Years later McKenzie joined a road version of The Mamas & The Papas in 1986. Concurrently, the Phillips-McKenzie team joined Mike Love and Terry Melcher to create the huge Beach Boys hit “Kokomo.”

 

The evergreen “San Francisco” remains McKenzie’s best-known work (he passed from Guillain-Barre syndrome in 2010). Periodically I dabbled with the song, dirty demo-ing a grunge-y Iggy Pop-like update: https://johnnyjblairsingeratlarge.bandcamp.com/track/san-francisco-be-sure-to-wear-flowers-in-your-hair-demo-remastered-2020

 

HB and RIP Scott.
