LA Rock n’ Roll icon, “Mama” Cass Elliot known for her ability to break barriers received her posthumous star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame almost 50 years after her death.
Cass' contributions to LA's Rock n' Roll scene in the 60s and 70s extended for beyond her angelic voice. She also pulled some of the biggest names together, socializing with Stephen Stills who says she engineered his meeting with David Crosby and Graham Nash.
She was a brilliantly intelligent woman, he told us. Her dry and quick wit matched by her ability to smash barriers in an often shallow industry. Instrumental in making this day happen were members of her family, who told the audience they still grieve her loss.
