Based on exclusive interviews with founding band members John Phillips, Michelle Phillips, and Denny Doherty, as well as colleagues John Stewart (Kingston Trio), Scott McKenzie, Mick Fleetwood (Fleetwood Mac), and Spanky McFarlane (Spanky & Our Gang), this biography of America's quintessential 1960s band traces their career from the Greenwich Village folk scene to California's "summer of love" and the Monterey Pop Festival. Band members tell the story behind such hit songs as "Monday, Monday", "Dedicated To The One I Love", "Creeque Alley", and "California Dreamin'" before reflecting on their careers following the break-up of the band and the death of Mama Cass Elliott. While John Phillip descended into, then returned from, the rock'n'roll hell of drug addiction, Denny Doherty moved back home to Canada to host his own TV variety show, and Michelle Phillips became a soap opera star on Knots Landing. The book features exclusive photographs from the collection of Guy Webster.
