  • The Mamas & the Papas (llamados The Mama's and the Papa's en su álbum debut) fueron un grupo vocal líder en la década de los 60s. Fueron uno de los estandartes del Folk Pop californiano y uno de los pocos grupos de Estados Unidos que mantuvieron su éxito durante la Invasión británica junto a The Beach Boys o The Byrds. El grupo hizo grabaciones y actuó desde 1965 a 1968; produciendo 5 álbumes y tuvieron 10 canciones en las carteleras musicales; aunque estuvieron un corto tiempo en la cima de la música, mantienen todavía fieles seguidores.
