The Mamas & the Papas (credited as The Mama's and the Papa's on the debut album cover) were a leading vocal group of the 1960s. They were one of the few American groups to maintain widespread success during the British Invasion (another being The Beach Boys). The group recorded and performed from 1965 to 1968; releasing five albums and charting ten hit singles; while relatively a short time in the realm of popular music, some group members have pointed to their short time in the spotlight as a reason why they still have loyal fans today.
John Phillips, Cass Elliot, Denny Doherty and Michelle Phillips formed the group after several previous folk groups failed. They hit it big immediately after forming The Mamas & the Papas with California Dreamin', still their most recognizable and enduring song.
