Scott Mckenzie sang the hit of his career when he recorded "San Francisco, Be Sure To Wear Some Flowers In Your Hair". It became the theme song of the counterculture movement during the "Summer of Love" in 1967.
He died on August 18, 2012 at the age of 73 after fighting a two year battle against Guillain-Barre syndrome, a disease of the nervous system.
"San Francisco" was written by John Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas, but McKenzie brought it to the top of the charts. McKenzie also co-wrote"Kokomo" which the Beach Boys brought to #1 in 1988.
