The group had often sung the song for fun, having been familiarized with it by member Michelle Phillips, whose father had been friends with the song's co-writer, Fabian Andre, in Mexico City where Michelle Phillips' family had resided when she was a young girl. "Mama" Cass Elliot suggested to group leader John Phillips that the group record "Dream a Little Dream of Me". According to him she was unhappy while recording the song, objecting to its campiness. However, Elliot herself would later tell Melody Maker: "I tried to sing it like it was 1943 and somebody had just come in and said, 'Here's a new song.' I tried to sing it as if it were the first time." I found a backing for this that had none of the background vocals of the original, so I sang em all.. It did have a built-in whistle at the end.. I can't whistle.. Thank you if you'd like to hear this Overall Rank:  Rank Unavailable Total Comments:  0 Listen:    Sorry, this submission has been archived.
