"Words Of Love" (Mamas and Papas) #5 1/21/1967

After the relative disappointment of their previous single, the Mamas and the Papas got back into the Top 5 here. Mama Cass Elliot certainly belted this one out, but then, she was basically the only member singing on the record. Michelle Phillips had a one word contribution ("NO!") and neither Papa John Phillips or Denny Doherty sang at all, even though Papa John wrote it. Things were definitely strained within the group by now.
