Nourish yourself

There was only one Cass Elliot. And she lives on in her work, still touching so many lives. At the end of this month, The Mama Cass Television Program is released for the first time ever on DVD. Her guests on the TV special include Joni Mitchell, John Sebastian and Mary Travers (of Peter, Paul and Mary). Jeffrey Kauffman (DVD Talk) observes, "Cass is perfectly at ease (in fact, perhaps a bit too much so -- she fluffs a few lines here and there and isn't really 'formal' in the sense that most television variety show hosts and hostesses were back in the day) and makes a very appealing central figure. . . . I couldn't help but feel a little sad watching this special, and not just because of the weird writing of the skits. Mama Cass was a distinctive, warm hearted performer with a lush voice who left us far, far too early. At least we have her recordings (several of which have been surfacing on Lost), as well as her film and television performances to remind us that, as she states to [Buddy] Hackett at the top of this special, true beauty comes from within."


But that's not all for Cass. This month also sees a CD release, Cass Elliott and The Road Is No Place For A Lady. Both albums on one CD. The project was a labor of love for Owen Elliot-Kugell, Cass' daughter. And one of the few living music superstars has an album due out as well.
