MAMA CASS easy come, easy go


The rather tragic Mama Cass with a nice song for Sunday.

A classic example of the 'voice' being far superior to its 'backing music'; not always the case. At 15 secs it totally comes alive!

It's just a nice song; no more, no less.

"Thinking about the chump I've been" reminds me of Harvey J and Ollie (grandsons) being asked to suggest names for Boo Boo when he was born. They suggested Chump and Jesus. Great names.

I listened again to the words, there is no match between the sadness between the lines and the happy melody.

Cro Magnon said...

She's very hard on herself, although she didn't actually write the lyrics.

Always a favourite of mine Cro.

I loved Mama Cass, I have been on the lookout for her version of Cherries Jubilee, which I had on a LP and for some reason always liked, no idea why? The record has sadly been lost in the mists of time.

She had such an expressive voice.

I don't know that one. I found it on Spotify, but not by Cass.

Alas, my hearing loss means I can no longer appreciate all the music I loved in my youth. Mama Cass certainly had a fine voice I remember.

Cro Magnon said...

I dread losing my hearing. My wife is a little bit deaf and she finds it very frustrating.

Years ago a little neighbor boy named his two miniature turtles Puppy Chow and Burger King!

Beautiful voice, such a sad life, may she rest in peace. It was nice to hear that again!

Wonderful. What more need I say?

Cro Magnon said...

I heard just a couple of seconds of it a few days ago, and had to hear more.

Cro Magnon said...

She had such a beautiful rounded voice. Always a pleasure to listen to her.
