My Take
Michelle Phillips, to me, is the sound of California itself. That crystalline soprano floating through the Mamas & the Papas catalog gave the 1960s its dreamy, aching glow, and Time calling her the purest soprano in pop barely overstates it. What impresses me even more is the second act: when the group dissolved, she rebuilt herself as a working actress and stayed employed for decades, a rare feat for any sixties icon. She lived through that era's beauty and wreckage and came out standing. Survivors who keep their grace intact are my favorite kind of legend, and she absolutely qualifies.
