Wilson Phillips"Can we sing 'We love you, Owen' in three-part harmony?" asked Phillips to her bandmates, before they spent some time figuring out each vocalist's role in the mini-performance.
After one attempt, Phillips asked the group to try again, and they sang, "We love you, Owen, oh yes we do. We love you Owen, and we'll be true. When you're not with us, we're blue. Oh Owen, we love you."
"Born to sing together!" exclaimed Carnie once they finished.

In a recent interview with PEOPLE, Elliot-Kugell, 57 — daughter of Mama Cass from The Mamas & The Papas — revealed forming Wilson Phillips was originally her idea and explained why she was "crushed and disappointed" to not be in the group.
"It wasn't the right time and it was hard for me. Absolutely. That was hard for a while. And especially when they became such a big success. It definitely was a little bit bitter for me, I think — or bittersweet, I guess is the way to put it," she said.
Elliot-Kugell recalled coming up with the idea for a band and recruiting Phillips (daughter of the Mamas & the Papas' John and Michelle Phillips) as well as Carnie and Wendy (daughters of The Beach Boys' Brian Wilson).

"I begged them not to record anything until I got back. When I returned, though, something didn't feel right when I spoke to the girls," she wrote in My Mama, Cass. "What I didn't know was that in my absence it had been decided that I should not be in the group. The blend wasn't there — my voice was too loud."
