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!

  2. "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.

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

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

  4. 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.

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

  5. 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.

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