"San Francisco", but it was co-written and sung by Scott McKenzie. It was a huge hit for him in 1967. It was the anthem for the flower children, all about the "Summer of Love" in the Haight-Ashbury section of San Francisco. McKenzie, born Philip Blondheim, began his career in a very clean-cut folk group called the Journeymen. After recording some solo work, he met up with former Journeyman and then-Mamas & the Papas member John Phillips, who co-wrote "San Francisco(Be Sure to Wear Some Flowers in Your Hair)" with him. Its catchy melody and innocent, wide-eyed hippie altruism gave McKenzie a Top Five smash in America and a number one hit overseas. Despite other recordings, he was never able to duplicate this success as a singer. After a layoff, he rejoined Phillips in an ?80s Mamas & the Papas reunion, and also co-wrote "Kokomo," which became a number-one smash for the Beach Boys in 1988. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide Content provided by All Music Guide Copyright © 2008 All Media Guide, LLC Below is a link to the song.
