{{main|Cass Elliot}}
Cass Elliot had a successful solo career, touring the US and Europe. She appeared frequently on television, including in two specials, ''The Mama Cass Television Program'' on ABC in January 1969 and ''Don't Call Me Mama Anymore'' on CBS in September 1973. She recorded hits such as "Make Your Own Kind of Music" and "It's Getting Better" but never surpassed her two Dunhill Records albums, ''[[Dream a Little Dream (Cass Elliot album)|Dream a Little Dream]]'' (1968) and ''[[Bubblegum, Lemonade, and... Something for Mama|Bubblegum, Lemonade, and ... Something for Mama]]'' (1969). Elliot signed with [[RCA Records]], but none of the three albums she recorded for the label, ''[[Cass Elliot (album)|Cass Elliot]]'', ''[[The Road Is No Place for a Lady]]'' (both 1972), and ''[[Don't Call Me Mama Anymore]]'' (1973), produced a charting single.

Elliot died of heart failure in London on July 29, 1974, after completing a two-week engagement at the [[London Palladium|Palladium]]. The shows were mostly sold out, and prompted standing ovations. Her former bandmates and Lou Adler attended her funeral in Los Angeles. Elliot was survived by her only child, Owen Vanessa Elliot, who was born in 1967.
