Sheila K. (95) is the winner!!

The Mama Cass Television Program grooves with the Woodstock era. Mama Cass Elliot was one of the era’s most beloved songstresses. Her long-lost special, The Mama Cass Television Program, gets it on in a groovy way.

The show was taped as a pilot for a TV variety series and aired as a colorful 1969 ABC special, The Mama Cass Television Program uniquely captured not only the free spirit of the iconic Woodstock festival of music and love, but the magic of the times and a decade of change. A joyous celebration of both music and “flower power,” the show never aired again, likely a victim of suit-and-tie network executives who tuned in (found it a bit too groovy) and tuned out.

It was like I went back in time to 1969. I watched and listened to the 1960s folk songs of Mama Cass with real commercials interspersed from that era.  It was a hip, swinging and groovy history lesson.
