So this is how that (untrue) story about choking on a sandwich got started. (I guess "ham" was added to embellish as it was the most popular kind in those days.) RIP, Cass Elliot, who died 40 years ago today. She was just 33. (Hat tip to Find a Death.)
I love the Mamas & The Papas, she's incredible on songs like "Monday, Monday", "Go Where You Wanna Go" and "I Saw Her Again". RIP.
ReplyDeleteShe had an amazing voice - her solo album CASS ELLIOTT that is a George Hurrell portrait in black & silver is a masterpiece - should be sought out by all!
ReplyDeleteGotta love Mama Cass!
