She wasn't the cute one, but, damn, she certainly could sing her ample rear off. Featuring only one track with the Mamas & the Papas–the hit “Words of Love”–this unfortunately titled collection spotlights Elliot's solo career, from the ancient Tin Pan Alley gem “Dream a Little Dream of Me” through Top 40 treats like “New World Comin'” and “Make Your Own Kind of Music” (recently covered by Paul Westerberg). Actually, only 5 of the 12 tracks can be considered big ones–but that voice was simply perfect pop and pure ear candy. Pity she left when she did.
