My Mama, Cass by Owen Elliot-Kugell (2024)

I’ve been listening to a podcast series about the Mamas and the Papas, and remembered that this book by Cass’ daughter was in the works. One quick download from the library and I started reading.

It’s a wistful book–losing your only parent at seven doesn’t lead to many first-person anecdotes. More interesting is Elliot-Kugell’s life growing up with the loss.

I’m going to have to go back and listen to the few tracks I have of her to see what her singing voice is like compared to her mom’s.  The most interesting thing I learned is that she thought of the idea for a singing group and what became Wilson Phillips until they cut her out of the group!
