Elliot was born in Baltimore, Maryland, the daughter of Philip Cohen (d: 1962) and the former Bess Levine (1915 - 1994). Both her mother and father were the children of Jewish immigrants from the Russian Empire. Her father was the owner of a small business, and her mother was a trained nurse. She had a brother Joseph and a younger sister Leah, who also became a singer as a member of the Coyote Sisters. The Cohens later moved to Alexandria, Virginia. Elliot adopted the name "Cass" in high school, possibly borrowing it from actress Peggy Cass, as Denny Doherty tells it. In any case, it was "Cass", not "Cassandra." She assumed the surname Elliot some time later, in memory of a friend who had died. Elliot attended George Washington High School, along with Jim Morrison of The Doors.
Mama Cass Restaurants is one of the foremost food based companies in Nigeria.
History

Mama Cass specializes in home cooked traditional African meals and international cuisines and other specialties like Oven Fresh pastries, Jaydens Sliced Bread. In addition to the restaurant chain, a bakery and Industrial catering also operates. It has expanded into industrial canteen management, private function catering and high volume bread production.

The Tragic Death Of The Mamas And The Papas' Cass Elliot
“Mama” Cass Elliott had one of the most powerful voices in ‘60s music. But sadly, her career was cut short in 1974 when she died at age 32. Born Ellen Naomi Cohen, Elliott first worked with Denny Doherty in a band called The Mugwumps.
The two of them would gradually join forces with John and Michelle Phillips to create The Mamas and the Papas. Elliott was extremely talented, but she also faced many negative comments about her weight, including from her bandmates. It was ultimately her constant attempts at crash dieting that killed her. Here are the details of the tragic death of The Mamas and the Papas’ Cass Elliott.

Cass Elliot at her very best (she never liked the name 'Mama Cass'). Recorded in 1969. The video includes images of members of the Mamas and the Papas even though they were not involved in this recording. Michelle Phillips is the only surviving member of this group.
Once I believed that when love came to me
It would come with rockets, bells and poetry
But with me and you it just started quietly and grew
And believe it or not
Now there's something groovy and good
'Bout whatever we got
And it's gettin better
Growing stronger warm and wilder
Gettin better everyday, better everyday
I don't feel all turned on and starry eyed
I just feel a sweet contentment deep inside
Holding you at night just seems kind of natural and right
And it's not hard to see
That it isn't half of what it's gonna tur...
