About Cass Elliot in brief
Ellen Naomi Cohen was born in Baltimore, Maryland, on September 19, 1941. Elliot adopted the name Cass in high school, possibly borrowing it from actress Peggy Cass. She toured in the musical The Music Man in 1962, but lost the part of Miss Marmelstein in I Can Get It for You Wholesale to Barbra Streisand. Elliot would sometimes sing while working as a cloakroom attendant at The Showplace in Greenwich Village. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame posthumously in 1998 for her work with the Mamas and the Papas. After the group broke up, she released five solo albums. Elliot had the inspiration for the band’s new name: We’re all just lying around vegging out on his website, written on his new band’s website: We’re All Just lying Around vegging Out on his New Journeymen website: http://www.newjourneymen.com/we’re-just-laying-around-vegging-out-on-his-new-name-we’re all just lying around vegging out on his new website, written on his new name, we’re all lying around vegging in the page, writing the song We’re All Lying in the Page, We’re Laying In the Page, we’re just lying In The Page, and we’re all lying in The Page. We’re vegging out watching TV and discussing names for the group for so long that John Phillips was not a handle that was going to hang on this outfit for long.
John Phillips and Michelle Phillips were the real reason that he considered her too fat, according to Denny Doherty. The real reason being that he needed a new name was that he was not going to let her hang on to that name for too long, and he wanted a name that would stand for something other than ‘fat’ Elliot had a brother, Joseph, and a younger sister, Leah, who also became a singer and recording artist. Elliot’s early life was spent with her family in Alexandria, Virginia, before the family moved to Baltimore when Elliot was 15, and where they had briefly lived at the time of Elliot’s birth. She won a small part in the play The Boy Friend, a summer stock production at the Hilltop Theatre in Owings Mills, Maryland. Elliot left high school shortly before graduation and moved to New York City to further her acting career. She did not pursue a singing career until she moved to the Washington, D. C. area to attend American University. Elliot met banjoist and singer Tim Rose and singer John Brown, and the three began performing as \”The Triumvirate” in 1963. In 1964, the group appeared on an open mic night at The Bitter End in Greenwich village, billed as \”Cass Elliot and the Big 3\”, followed onstage by folk singer Jim Fosso and bluegrass banjoists Eric Weissberg.
