The Mamas and Papas

The Mamas & the Papas

The Mamas & the Papas (credited as The Mama's and the Papa's on the debut album cover and sometimes shortened to Mamas & Papas) were an American/Canadian vocal group who came to prominence in the 1960s (Denny Doherty was from Canada). The group recorded and performed from 1965 to 1968 with a short reunion in 1971, releasing five albums and 11 Top 40 hit singles. They have sold nearly 40 million records worldwide.[1]Their signature sound was based on four-part male/female vocal harmonies arranged byJohn Phillips, the band's songwriter, who managed to "leave the folk music behind"[2] and blend his writing with the new "beat" sound in an unprecedented mode.
