More than 60 versions of this song have been recorded over the years.
Some of the highest chart ratings were in 1968 by Mama Cass Elliot,
with The Mamas & The Papas.
Since Amy's cover version is based directly on Mama Cass Elliot's version
I chose to give The Mamas & The Papas credit in the headline instead of the original artist and authors.

This was Amy's mother's favorite song! It's a bit sad she never got to hear her daughter sing it! (I hope angels are allowed to eavesdrop...)
