California Dreamin'

"California Dreamin'" is a song by The Mamas & the Papas, first released in the 1960s and then re-popularized by a remix by DJ Sammy in 2001.

"California Dreamin'" was the first big hit for The Mamas & the Papas and is, in fact, their impetus for being. After the four friends who comprised the group auditioned their song, they earned a recording contract. If not for the song, and the group's talent, they may have never emerged as the important band they became.
