Cass Elliot (born Ellen Naomi Cohen) would have turned 80 years old today. As a member of the Mamas and the Papas in the 1960s, Elliot achieved 6 top 10 hits in the USA, as well as 4 in the UK, and won a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Group Performance in 1967 for ‘Monday, Monday’.

Sometimes referred to as the ‘voice’ of the Mamas and the Papas, Cass Elliot’s presence as a performer continues to attract people from all over the world — with her solo work accumulating over 400,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.

A dear mother, daughter, sister, and friend, Cass has been described by Henry Diltz as “everyone’s best friend”. As one of the most enigmatic figures of the Laurel Canyon, she had a wicked sense of humour and was reportedly someone who laughed all the time, bringing a sense of warmth to everyone she met. She was a unique, irreplaceable character whose friends miss her and her boundless enthusiasm daily, summed up perfectly by her friend Erik Jacobsen, who has said — “They broke the mold when they made Cass.”
