with John Phillips, Michelle Phillips, and (“Mama”) Cass Elliot, was a member of the original Mamas and the Papas vocal quartet, whose intricate harmonies brought them to the forefront of the folk rock movement of the 1960s. Doherty and Elliot performed with the short-lived rock group the Mugwumps before joining the Mamas and the Papas, whose cascading harmonies were featured in the hit songs “California Dreamin'” (1965), “Monday, Monday” (1966), and “Creeque Alley” (1967). The group disbanded in 1968, re-formed briefly in 1971, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. During the 1990s Doherty appeared as the Harbour Master on Theodore Tugboat, a popular Canadian children's TV series. He also co-wrote Dream a Little Dream, a stage show reminiscence of the Mamas and the Papas that debuted Off-Broadway in 2003.
