TODAY IN ROCK AND ROLL HISTORY - 10/19/1968 - eviltoast

Less than a month after leaving The Mamas And The Papas, Cass Elliot’s first solo album, “Dream A Little Dream” was released on Dunhill Records. Recorded live in just ten days, the LP would be only a moderate success, selling 150,000 copies and climbing to #87 on the Billboard 200 chart. The single “Dream A Little Dream Of Me” fared much better, peaking at #12 on the Hot 100 and #11 in the UK. Among the musicians appearing on the album were Hal Blaine - drums, Harvey Brooks - bass guitar, James Burton - guitar, dobro, Jim Gordon - drums, Larry Knechtel - keyboards, John Sebastian - guitar, harmonica, and Stephen Stills - guitar, vocals.

    GOD, I love M&P. It’s really sad how Mama Casa was treated. Her voice was beautiful and she had such a range. People sawbpast that but only long after her death.
