The greatest white female singer ever' is how Boy George described
pop icon Cass Elliot, the sixties diva who was at the epicentre of
US popular culture and music during the Californian hippy movement.
Hailed as America's answer to the Beatles, the Mamas and the Papas'
hits such as 'California Dreamin' and 'Monday Monday' became the
soundtrack of a generation. Cass's uniquely emotive voice,
charismatic wit and outsized multicoloured kaftans singled her out
as a popstar who refused to conform to traditional female
stereotypes. When she left the Mamas and the Papas, she immediately
had a top ten hit with her debut single, 'Dream a Little Dream of
Me' and became the queen on Los Angeles society. Her Beverly Hills
villa was the scene of legenday parties, becoming the second home
of stars such as Jack Nicholson and Grace Slick, but there was a
darker side to her fame - after years of continuous dieting and
drug addiction, she died mysteriously in London at the age of 33.
Including interviews with Cass's friends and family, co-band
members Michelle Phillips and Denny Doherty, and many of the famous
names who knew her, this is both an insightful biography of an
extraordinary singer, and a fascinating glimpse into free-living,
free-loving ideals of the sixties as the optimism of the
flower-child generation was crushed by the Vietnam War. 'The
product of over 100 interviews and four years of research across
three continents, it's a fantastic read that goes way beyond
thorough . . . Fiegel's fine, all-encompassing tome restores much
of the great woman's dignity' - Mojo
