Mama Cass is a true music icon, and will always be remembered for her unique vocals. Growing up, I always listened to Mama Cass because my parents loved her music. My mom always played the whimsical ballad, ‘Dream a Little Dream of Me’ on our car rides, and so I always sang along. The melody is soft and sweet, and it carries an easy rhythm to it. I can’t imagine someone not falling in love with the melody. What does Mama Cass and this tune remind you of? "Dream A Little Dream Of Me" Stars shining bright above you Night breezes seem to whisper I love you Birds singing in the sycamore tree Dream a little dream of me Say night-ie night and kiss me Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me While I'm alone and blue as can be Dream a little dream of me Stars fading but I linger on, dear Still craving your kiss I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear Just saying this Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you But in your dreams whatever they be Dream a little dream of me Stars fading but I linger on, dear Still craving your kiss I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear Just saying this Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you Sweet dreams that leave all worries far behind you But in your dreams whatever they be Dream a little dream of me "California Dreamin'" by Mama Cass My dad’s favorite Mama Cass song was California Dreamin’. He used to play it on repeat at home, and so I learned to belt out the lyrics with a smile on my face. He would sing the Papas section, and I would sing the Mamas section, echoing the lyrics. The folk harmony gives California Dreamin’ a unique sound, and it makes everyone want to sing and dance. This song had me thinking about hopping on the next plane to California to escape the cold weather I had on the east coast.

(if I was in L.A.) California dreamin' (California dreamin') On such a winter's day Stopped into a church I passed along the way Well, I got down on my knees (got down on my knees) And I pretend to pray (I pretend to pray) You know the preacher like the cold (preacher like the cold) He knows I'm gonna stay (knows I'm gonna stay) California dreamin' (California dreamin') On such a winter's day All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown) And the sky is grey (and the sky is grey) I've been for a walk (I've been for a walk) On a winter's day (on a winter's day) If I didn't tell her (if I didn't tell her) I could leave today (I could leave today) California dreamin' (California dreamin') On such a winter's day (California dreamin') (Repeat) On such a winter's day More about the importance of Cass Mama Cass is an inspiration to us all to never give up, and to follow our passion.
