One of the world’s most legendary female vocalists, Cass Elliot, performed her hit ‘Dream a Little Dream of Me’ in 1970 on the British TV show ‘It’s Lulu.’ Do you know what group Cass used to sing for?
Cass stands on a stage in a silver, shiny dress with fuzzy parts on the arms and waist. It is a dress that could only be worn in the ’70s, and she looks pretty comfortable in the flowing outfit.
The black-and-white footage shows Cass on stage with a single spotlight on her. She bows to the audience and begins to sing with her powerful, beautiful tone. Her charisma is conveyed through the camera.
Cass sings the dreamy lyrics, “Stars shining bright above you. Night breezes seem to whisper, “I love you.” Birds singin’ in the sycamore trees. Dream a little dream of me.” The song was originally a hit for Doris Day.
Cass was formerly one of the members of ‘The Mamas & The Papas.’ The group was one of music history’s most successful but short-lived bands. They released 5 studio albums and 17 singles over a four-year span.
Cass sold 40 million records worldwide with the group before taking on a solo career. Her voice still resonates with fans, and her delivery of this classic melody is second to none.
‘Dream a Little Dream’ is also the title of her debut solo album. She was still referred to as ‘Mama Cass’ for this release in 1968. Cass went on to record five solo albums, and she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
