A list of my favorite songs by American folk-rock group The Mamas and The Papas.

The Mamas & the Papas were an American folk rock vocal group that recorded and performed from 1965 to 1968, reuniting briefly in 1971.

They released five studio albums and seventeen singles, six of which made the top ten, and sold close to 40 million records worldwide.

Their most well known songs are: 'California Dreamin', 'Monday, Monday', 'Dedicated to the One I Love', 'I Saw Her Again', 'Look Through My Window', 'Safe in My Garden', 'Dancing Bear', 'Dream a Little Dream of Me' and 'Creeque Alley'.

The group was composed of John Phillips (1935–2001), Denny Doherty (1940–2007), Cass Elliot (1941–1974) and Michelle Phillips née Gilliam (b. 1944).

Their sound was based on vocal harmonies arranged by John Phillips, the songwriter, musician and leader of the group who adapted folk to the new beat style of the early sixties.

The quartet's debut album 'If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears' was released in February 1966 and became reached number-one on the Billboard 200. The third single from the album 'Monday, Monday' was released in March 1966 and became the band's only number-one hit in the US, reached number three in the UK and was the first number-one on Spain's new Los 40 Principales.

'Monday, Monday' won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals in 1967. It was also nominated for Best Performance by a Vocal Group, Best Contemporary Song and Record of the Year.

'California Dreamin' was reissued in the UK and peaked at number nine in 1997. The song received a Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 2001.

The Mamas and the Papas were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998, the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2000, and the Hit Parade Hall of Fame in 2009. Cass Elliot and Michelle Phillips, as "The Mamas", were ranked number twenty-one on the VH1 network's list of the 100 Greatest Women of Rock.
