Today in counterculture history (01/10)
    #13762808 - 01/10/11 10:47 AM (13 years, 21 days ago)

  • 1939:  Scott McKenzie is born




Quote:

Scott McKenzie (born Philip Wallach Blondheim, January 10, 1939 – August 18, 2012) was an American singer and songwriter. He was best known for his 1967 hit single and generational anthem, "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)".

In 1961 Phillips and McKenzie met Dick Weissman and formed the folk group, The Journeymen, at the height of the folk music craze. They recorded three albums and seven singles for Capitol Records.  After The Beatles became popular in 1964, The Journeymen disbanded.  McKenzie and Weissman became solo performers, while Phillips formed the group The Mamas & the Papas with Denny Doherty, Cass Elliot and Michelle Phillips and moved to California.

McKenzie originally declined an opportunity to join the group, saying in a 1977 interview, "I was trying to see if I could do something by myself. And I didn't think I could take that much pressure".  Two years later, he left New York and signed with Lou Adler's Ode Records.

Phillips wrote and co-produced "San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Flowers In Your Hair)" for McKenzie. John Phillips played guitar on the recording and session musician Gary L Coleman played orchestra bells and chimes. The bass line of the song was supplied by session musician Joe Osborn. Hal Blaine played drums.

It was released on 13 May 1967 in the United States and was an instant hit, reaching #4 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was also a #1 in the UK and several other countries, selling over seven million copies globally.

McKenzie followed the song with "Like An Old Time Movie", also written and produced by Phillips, which was a minor hit. His first album, The Voice of Scott McKenzie, was followed with an album called Stained Glass Morning. He stopped recording in the early 1970s and lived in Joshua Tree, California, and Virginia Beach, Virginia.

McKenzie also penned the song "Hey! What About Me" that launched the career of Canadian singer Anne Murray in 1968.

In 1986, he started singing with a new version of The Mamas and the Papas. With Terry Melcher, Mike Love and John Phillips, he co-wrote "Kokomo" (1988), a #1 single for the Beach Boys.

By 1998, he had retired from the road version of The Mamas and Papas, and resided in Los Angeles, California, until his death.  He appeared at the Los Angeles tribute concert for John Phillips in 2001, amongst other 1960s contemporary acts.

Death

McKenzie died on August 18, 2012 in Los Angeles.  He had suffered from Guillain–Barré syndrome since 2010.

I must say that I wasn't that impressed by San Francisco.

Didn't meet many gentle people-- just a bunch of crackheads and bums. :shrug:

Ha. I know. Not a bad song either.

I'm just saying it's really changed.

Although I was amazed by how much glass there is on Haight St.
Like god damn.

Yes. :smile:
Of all shapes and sizes.
All the good brand names and styles.

I didn't look at prices through. I'm sure they were exorbitant.
