California Dreamin’: Songs Of The Mamas & The Papas - 2005 - 6/10

Fun, if shallow, overview capturing the 60’s pop group during their peak.
Packed with clips of the quartet lip syncing on a variety of TV programs.
Interviews were positive. In-group infidelities were referenced, though not Michelle’s temporary dismissal.
Watching Cass dancing in her white go-go boots, Denny with his head tossed back, both soaring like the free spirits they were.
The moment was brief, though. The group, like the hippies themselves, evaporated in the late sun.
Easy stroll down nostalgia lane, and Phillips’ songs remain buoyant, irresistibly catchy.
