“Glad To Be Unhappy” #26 11/25/1967

The Mamas and the Papas recorded several songs with Tin Pan Alley roots. This very short tune (1:41) was composed by Rodgers and Hart for a 1936 musical called "On Your Toes" and had been done numerous times over the years by singers ranging from Lena Horne and Billie Holliday to Frank Sinatra. These were trying times for the group, and they soon pretty much fell apart.
