Hvem sang make your own kind of music?
Cass Elliot
Make Your Own Kind of Music (song)
"Make Your Own Kind of Music" er en popsang skrevet af Barry Mann og Cynthia Weil, der første gang blev indspillet i 1968 af den New York-baserede trio Will-O-Bees (Janet Blossom, Steven Porter og Robert Merchanthouse), som regelmæssigt spillede Mann/Weil-kompositioner. Efter at Cass Elliot i sommeren 1969 fik et hit med Mann/Weils "It's Getting Better", indspillede hun "Make Your Own Kind of Music" som opfølgningssingle, og hendes album Bubblegum, Lemonade, and... Something for Mama blev genudgivet som "Make Your Own Kind Of Music/It's Getting Better", idet titelnummeret var blevet tilføjet til den oprindelige trackliste. Elliots "Make Your Own Kind of Music"-single nåede dog kun lige op på Top 40 som nr. 36. Den tilsvarende effekt på hitlisterne for den efterfølgende single, en anden Mann/Weil-komposition med titlen "New World Coming", som nåede op på nr. 42, var et tegn på Elliots udfordringer med at fastholde en profil som en aktuel hitmager, da 1960'erne blev til 1970'erne. Cass Elliot-nummeret er i tonearten E-dur.
Cass Elliot
Make Your Own Kind of Music (song)
"Make Your Own Kind of Music" is a pop song written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, first recorded in 1968 by the New York City-based trio the Will-O-Bees (Janet Blossom, Steven Porter, and Robert Merchanthouse), who regularly performed Mann/Weil compositions. After Cass Elliot had a hit in the summer of 1969 with Mann/Weil's "It's Getting Better", she recorded "Make Your Own Kind of Music" as the follow-up single, and her album Bubblegum, Lemonade, and... Something for Mama was re-released as "Make Your Own Kind Of Music/It's Getting Better," the title cut having been added to the original track listing. However, Elliot's "Make Your Own Kind of Music" single only just reached the Top 40 at #36. The similar chart impact of the follow-up single, another Mann/Weil composition entitled "New World Coming," which reached #42, signaled Elliot's challenges in maintaining a profile as a current hitmaker, as the 1960s turned into the 1970s. The Cass Elliot track is in the key of E major.
