The Beatles' 'Love Me Do' Didn't Sound 'Proper' to The Mamas & the Papas' Michelle Phillips
The Mamas & the Papas’ Michelle Phillips said The Beatles’ “Love Me Do” didn’t sound “proper.” She thought the song was awesome anyway. “Love Me Do” became a hit single three times in three decades in the United Kingdom.
The Mamas & the Papas’ Cass Elliot said she didn’t enjoy The Doors as much as The Beatles. Subsequently, The Mamas & the Papas’ Michelle Phillips discussed what she felt about The Beatles’ “Love Me Do.” Notably, the song reached No. 1 in the United States but not the United Kingdom.
During a 1968 interview with Rolling Stone, Elliot discussed her taste in music. “Like, today, I’d rather hear Jimi Hendrix,” she said. “Today.
“The Doors, for instance: I can’t really get into their music,” he added. “I find it very one-dimensional. True, it’s far out. But when you get there finally, it’s just in one. It doesn’t surround me or take me away, whereas The Beatles always have completely turned me on.”
