John Phillips, Michelle Phillips, Denny Doherty, and Cass Elliott's first televised performance of California Dreamin' took place four days after the December 8, 1965 Dunhill Records single release date. The Mama and The Papas signature song was live and lip-sync on the December 11, 1965 episode of ABC Shindig in Hollywood, CA. The group performed it exactly one year later on the Ed Sullivan Show.
The gold record reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and was the number 10 Song of the Year 1966. California Dreamin' is number 89 in Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. The song's lyrics express the longing for the warmth of Los Angeles during a cold winter in New York City. The sunshine pop song became a signpost of the California sound and was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2001. Source: Wikipedia

Critic preview: A studio wizard almost on par with Brian Wilson, John Phillips recording sessions for The Mamas and The Papas' greatest songs were nearly unprecedented for the time – often 16 tracks deep, complex, dense, and grueling to record. And yet, they sound so effortless – something so soaring and angelic can’t be so arduous, so taxing, can it? The Mamas and the Papas were one of those rare convergences in music where everything fell exactly into its right place, everything worked perfectly, and the result was a canon of songs that will remain immortal.
