Music reviews of The Singles+
Music Review: Definitive hits collection including solos
Rating: 5 Stars
This compilation contains all essential American, British and European hits of the Mamas and Papas, plus individual hits by the various members after they went their separate ways. Of course, Mama Cass was by far the best singer and most of the solo tracks are hers. The Mamas and Papas were formed after the break-up of a little-known short-lived group called the Mugwumps. Other members of that group formed the Lovin' spoonful.
The classic Mamas and Papas songs are all here including California Dreaming, Go where you wanna go, Monday Monday, I saw her again, Words of love and Creeque alley. These are classic slices of sixties folk-rock, some of which at least you must be already familiar with.
Also in this collection are their great covers including I call your name (Beatles), Dancing in the street (Martha Reeves and the Vandellas), Dedicated to the one I love (Shirelles) and My girl (Temptations). Do you wanna dance was originally an American hit for Bobby Freeman but later became a British hit for Cliff Richard and an American hit for the Beach Boys. Dream a little dream of me was over forty years old when the Mamas and Papas recorded it - this song was actually the first Mama Cass solo recording though the group was still united at this stage. Some of these covers were also hits for the Mamas and Papas.
Of the solo tracks recorded after the group broke up, the most important is It's getting better, a top ten UK hit for Mama Cass, whose many other noteworthy solos here include Make your own kind of music and Disney girls.
This is the strongest hits collection available as I write this review. If you enjoy the music of the Beach boys and the Lovin' spoonful, you will surely enjoy listening to the Mamas and the Papas.
