The Mamas & The Papas
The Mamas & The Papas were an American folk rock vocal group formed in 1965 in California, featuring John Phillips, Denny Doherty, Cass Elliot, and Michelle Phillips. They became emblematic of the counterculture era with their lush vocal harmonies and gentle folk-pop sound. Timeless hits like “California Dreamin'”, “Monday, Monday”, and “Dedicated to the One I Love” showcase melodies and chord progressions that translate beautifully to the ukulele, making their songs perfect for sing-alongs.
