This is a mashup I created years ago that comes with an explanation.
One of my favorite bands is the Mamas and Papas, which as most of you probably know, combined the talents of John and Michelle Phillips with Cass Elliott and Denny Doherty.
They burned out fast, for reasons I will not go into. Nor will I go into John's troubles, although they were many.
No, I will concentrate instead on the Richard Rodgers tune Here in My Arms, which John recorded with the Wrecking Crew, and which the Ms&Ps performed on TV (although it looks like lip sync to me) . . .
That track didn't make it to an album however, not until the boxed set. Instead, John used the instrumental track to create a new tune called No Salt on Her Tail.
Evidently that's The Doors' Ray Manzarek playing keyboards.
All this is to explain the mashup, I put 'em together. See attached file.
Hope you have half as much fun listening as I did creating it.
