Elliot, known for her sense of humor and optimism, was considered by some to be the most charismatic member of the group. Her warm, distinctive voice was a large factor in their success. She is best remembered for her vocals on the group's ''[[Billboard magazine|Billboard]]'' hits "[[California Dreamin']]", "[[Monday Monday]]", and "Words of Love", and particularly for the solo "[[Dream a Little Dream of Me]]", which the group recorded in 1968 after learning about the death of [[Fabian Andre]], one of the men who co-wrote it, whom Michelle Phillips had met years earlier. Elliot's version is noteworthy for being a ballad, whereas almost all earlier recordings of "Dream a Little Dream of Me" (including one by [[Nat King Cole]]) had been quick, up-tempo versions —— the song having actually been written in [[1931]] as a dance tune for the nightclubs of the day.
