  • Susan from Atlanta, GeorgiaIn my opinion, the Mamas & Papas' version of this song is easily the best one. Love the description of the mellow, lush arrangement, and their version is done in such a way as to sound like a romantic ballad for slow-dancing instead of Bobby Freeman's, which (no offense, Bobby) sounded like he had to get this dance over with and get the car back home before his dad missed it. Whatever else can be said about John Phillips (and there is plenty, and I don't disagree with any of it), he was an unbelievably gifted musician and arranger, whether it was with his own songs or the many covers the group did.
    I got to see two different iterations of the regrouped Mamas & Papas in concert (neither of which was the original, sadly), and hearing Denny Doherty sing this song was the ultimate groupie experience for me.
