		"Mama" Cass Elliot (September 19, 1941 – July 29, 1974), born Ellen Naomi Cohen, was a noted American singer who performed with The Mamas and the Papas.
		Elliot was widely considered the most charismatic member of the Mamas and the Papas due to her sense of humor and optimism, in part because of her large size and weight.
		While the Mamas and the Papas were touring as The Magic Circle (their name before changing it to The Mamas and the Papas), Elliot begged friend Denny Doherty to let her join the band.
