  4. Remembering Mama Cass Elliot, who died on 29 July 1974 of a heart attack at Harry Nilsson’s London flat. Four years later, Keith Moon would die in the same room, at the same age (32).

    Cass’ self-titled 1972 album contains some belting versions of great songs including Jesus Was A Cross Maker and Disney Girls.

  5. Getting acquainted with Andrew Hickey's "A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs" podcast has opened me up to all kinds of surprises, such as the revelation that Shocking Blue's "Venus" was fundamentally built out of a rocked-up reworking of "Oh! Suzanna" that featured #CassElliott on vocals.
