  Cass Elliot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elliot, known for her sense of humor and optimism, was considered by some to be the most charismatic member of The Mamas and The Papas; her warm, distinctive voice was a large factor in their success.
Elliot resented Michelle's perceived betrayal of their friendship and helped to support the band's decision to fire Michelle in June 1966, when it became clear that John Phillips could no longer work with her.
Cass's daughter, Owen Vanessa Elliot, is a singer as well, and in the late 1980s, her idea of recording a anti-drug song using the offspring of 1960s rock stars led to the formation of the vocal group that would be known as Wilson Phillips.

 The Mamas & the Papas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cass was contractually bound for the band's next LP, and therefore appeared on The Papas and the Mamas, the group's fourth album.
While on tour, Elliot died of a heart attack on July 29, 1974 (not from choking on a ham sandwich, as is sometimes reported).
The Mamas and the Papas were inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 and into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2000.

 "Mama" Cass Elliot
Elliot had had her own group, Cass and the Big Three, and had been a member of the Mugwumps with Doherty before joining John Phillips's new band at St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands, where the quartet perfected its sound in sunlight and penury.
Elliot was first married to James Hendricks, of Cass and the Big Three, with whom she had a daughter, Owen Vanessa, in 1967, and again briefly to Baron Donald von Wiedenman in 1971.
Elliot's solo career began in 1968 with the release of the Mamas and the Papas song “Dream a Little Dream of Me.” Solo performing deprived her of the opportunity to serve the sumptuous harmonies that made the quartet distinctive, although “Dream a Little Dream” remains the clearest indication of her gift.

 Cass Elliot
Cass changed her last name from Cohen to Elliot in '60 when she was trying to make it as a Broadway actress, the name Elliot came from a dead friend and was intended to be a tribute to him.
Cass was born to a middle-class Jewish family where music was ever-present: it's been said that she first developed a love of music by listening to the opera on the radio with her family.
With the strongest voice in the Mamas and the Papas, Cass sang lead on several of the group's hits, such as "Words of Love" and "Dream a Little Dream of Me." One interesting story has it that she was only taken in by the group after she banged her head on a pipe.

"Mama" Cass Elliot's death has been reported over the years as having been caused by "choking on a sandwich while in bed and from inhaling her own vomit." The true cause of death, a heart attack, was not determined until an autopsy was performed a week later, but by that time it was too late.
