The Mugwumps - 1964 - The Mugwumps
In 1963, Denny Doherty and Zal Yanovsky got together with Jim Hendricks and his wife, Cass Elliot, to become 'Cass Elliot and the Big Three'. After an uneventful release the group added John Sebastian and renamed themselves 'The Mugwumps'. In 1964, they recorded an eponymous LP and released a single, "I’ll Remember Tonight,”. After this album 'the Mugwumps' split in four separate directions. Doherty became a member of 'The Journeymen' with John Phillips and Michelle Gilliam. Yanovsky and Sebastian founded 'The Lovin’ Spoonful', and Cass Elliot joined a short-lived jazz act. Jim Hendricks joined a new group called 'The Lamp of Childhood'. By 1965 'The Journeymen' had decided their fortunes would be better served elsewhere and migrated to the Virgin Islands. Cass Elliot did a stint in the islands at the same time (as a waitress, not a singer) and in 1965 relocated to Los Angeles. 'The Journeymen' headed west soon after, and Cass ended up as the fourth and final member. By the end of 1965 they were called 'The Mamas and the Papas'. 01 - Searchin.mp3 02 - I Don't Wanna Know.mp3 03 - I'll Remember Tonight.mp3 04 - Here It Is Another Day.mp3 05 - Do You Know What I Mean.mp3 06 - You Can't Judge A Book By The Cover.mp3 07 - Everybody's Been Talkin'.mp3 08 - Do What They Don't Say.mp3 09 - So Fine.mp3 LINK
