Apparently the fat one is a jew and the band was not interested in her joining, but she followed them around relentlessly until they finally gave in. On top of that, her moo moo cow voice didn't fit the vocal parts, which all had to be rewritten.
"Elliot was the last singer invited to join The Mamas and the Papas because of reservations among the rest of the group because she was overweight. The official line though was that, having rejected her initially, they changed their minds when her vocal range miraculously improved after she had been hit on the head by a pipe in an accident."
