Scott McKenzie performing “San Francisco“, released originally in 1967.
It reached #1 UK Singles Chart, #1 New Zealand Charts, #1 Germany, #4 US Billboard Hot 100, #4 US Cash Box Top 100.
“San Francisco“ became a counterculture anthem and hit Number 4 in the U.S. and Number 1 on the U.K. charts. McKenzie was born Philip Wallach Blondheim and grew up in North Carolina. He and John Phillips, who later formed the Mamas and the Papas, played together as teens in a doowop act called the Abstracts and moved to New York, where Blondheim changed his name after comedian Jackie Curtis noted that the singer resembled a Scottie dog.
With the rise of folk music, McKenzie and Phillips switched their focus, forming the Journeymen with banjo player Dick Weissman and recording three albums before splitting in 1964.
McKenzie released two more solo albums but left music in the late Sixties, relocating to Virginia Beach, Virginia, to escape the limelight. He made a comeback in the late Eighties, touring with the Mamas and the Papas and penning the Beach Boys hit “Kokomo.”
