Go where you wanna go

"John Phillips, "Mama" Cass Elliot, Denny Doherty, and Michelle Phillips were collectively one of the most successful musical acts of all time - the electric folk-rock group The Mamas & The Papas. After relocating from New York to the West Coast in 1965 and releasing the No. 1 record "California Dreamin'" the following year, they produced a string of massively popular radio hits, including "Creeque Alley," "Monday, Monday," "Words of Love," "Dedicated to the One I Love," and "Go Where You Wanna Go." Their fans were diverse; the collegiate folk set loved their gentle, meticulous harmonies, and the burgeoning underground movement identified with their "sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll" ideal.". "Illustrated and cinematic in scope, Go Where You Wanna Go is told not only from the points of view of the group members (including Mama Cass, via an extensive, rare, never-before-published interview), but also from those of their friends, musical colleagues, business associates, critics, and fans. Roger McGuinn, David Crosby, Lou Adler, Donovan, Graham Nash, and Ray Manzarek are among the contributors who provided original interviews for this oral history."--BOOK JACKET.
