Scott died on Saturday August 18th 2012 in Los Angeles. It was a warm beautiful day. I was at a beach bar drinking and enjoying life with friends. All of a sudden a girl came in and as she sat down with her friends at the table next to us I heard her say "hey everyone did you hear Scott Mckenzie died today?" I was stunned. In an instant I was back at UC Berkeley and off to his concert. All those memories. I just sat there alone with my thoughts and cried.

I was born in 1982,I discovered how beautiful were those years just listening the people that lived those times,listening to the music of those years (one of the best music of ever for me) and watching movies like "Forrest Gump". In the 2022 I still listen to the music of 70's,80's,90's. I'm sick of nostalgia 😔. Maybe it's cause today music is meaningless.

When I was stationed in Southeast Asia this song was played at 1800 hours(6:00PM) every day after they read the names of soldiers who were going home the next day. We couldn't wait to hear our names called. I was one of the lucky ones who made it back home.

Julie thank you so so much for your very well written comment . It means a lot that you would take time out of your day to tell me about your early life . It’s fascinating to me to read about people’s lives and how everything was before me . I couldn’t imagine life without a microwave ! And I am young I am 18 almost 19 in about a month . I’ve always been a bit jealous of the freedom of being able to play with friends freely and go out on walks people had before . The world is much more dangerous today . I grew up having to learn that and feared a lot of things . Sadly I don’t connect very much with my era . And I will admit it makes me pretty sad sometimes . (I don’t want to be like those people who say “I wish I was born in a different generation” but I honestly wish I was) I spend everyday living as if I’m in any other era but this one . I don’t connect with people or many things of today . Which is why I don’t have any friends . I’m alone all the time and spend all the time at home in my room . I can’t remember the last time I really went out with friends . I’d rather spend my time listening to my Carpenters record or whatever I have at hand and drawing . Or watching documentaries about the the 70’s or whatever year , Woodstock , anything just as long as it isn’t from this era . But there are maybe a FEW gems from this era like KZread , some of the tv shows , and a little bit of music that I can carry with me until my later years . :) thank you , I too hope you have many years of happiness and longevity of life . Your comment has made my night . ❤️

RIP Scott McKenzie; thanks for this memory! :)

When I was a kid, I used to listen to this song and feel something which now I know was nostalgia (even though I wasn't alive in the 60s). And I used to cry also, even not knowing english in that time.

His beautiful relaxed vocal technique ... lyrics that are gold ... this is one of the most iconic songs of the sixties ...it never gets old .....it captured the mood of the time ....thanks 🙂

Umm, you're misinterpreting a bad vocal performance due to him clearly being on drugs.

"Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair". The song was just perfect for the time !

Guitar was so out, I am amazed he pulled it off that well.

I remember I was at a field trip in San Francisco in the early 2000’s and this song was blasting on the pier. I was about 11 years old. Now whenever I hear this song I get the most nostalgic feeling ever. This song will always be with me. ❤️✌️

I was a young person back then...this song described the times...I hope some future generation feels the same way someday.

I was born n raised in SF,moved an hour north at 18.I grew up in Haight/Ashbury and it was so pure and beautiful (In the late 60s, early 70s) I wouldn't trade that time of my life for anything. It shaped who I would become for the rest of my life. so sad that its gone so downhill, so fucking sad...

With 63M fans behind him, Scott McKenzie can't be wrong. They chose this San Francisco to be #1

sooo ein geiler Song, seit Jahrzehnten, habe noch die Originalsingle!!! Mein Freund, der unbedingt mit mir dort hin wollte und leider mit knapp 31 diese Welt verließ. Werde dieses Jahr dort hin reisen und ihn in Gedanken mit nehmen!

Gracias a estos talentosos artistas nos quedamos con estas excelentes canciones q nunca morirán..Bello Scott Mckenzie..

All these peaceful people are now sadly old or departed.I take my hat off to the generation of peace loving hippys who tried to change the world we live in.Its a shame it didn't change.40 yrs on we have wars raging around the world people dying for no reason.Starvation Hunger are just a few of the things we can't seem to irradicate even though we have it within our means to do so.I think the governments have their reasons for not doing so but I wish they'd let the rest of us in on the reasons they don't.

I'm only 3 months old and this is my jam.

In my opinion it is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. I am Italian and I am 59 years old. I heard it on the radio when I was 6 and I obviously didn't speak English yet. I just understood "go" , "San Francisco " and "flowers", but it was enough:I fell in love with it.

Una de las canciones más bonitas, que recuerdo. ❤❤❤

LYRICS If you're going to San Francisco Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair If you're going to San Francisco You're gonna meet some gentle people there For those who come to San Francisco Summertime will be a love-in there In the streets of San Francisco Gentle people with flowers in their hair All across the nation Such a strange vibration People in motion There's a whole generation With a new explanation People in motion People in motion For those who come to San Francisco Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair If you come to San Francisco Summertime will be a love-in there If you come to San Francisco Summertime will be a love-in there

The magic may not be as strong as it once was, but walking through the streets of San Francisco while listening to this really makes that city shine.

Hey I'm a 14 years old girl from germany. We had talk with one of our teachers about the hippis, the woodstock Festival, the Rolling Stones... Also we had listen to many songs which were written is this time. I love them all. But I'm sad, that I didn't live in this time in the USA because I think it must be a great time.

Keenan Hopkins San Francisco is a city you dumb fuck, there aren’t any fields.

I wonder. Why doesn't anyone preach about love, peace, and harmony in their songs anymore? I may be young but dang. Every generation from the 20's to the 90's preached about better stuff than our modern times. TLDR. I wish i was in the 70's lol

We were about love ☮️ freedom, we wore flowers in our hair I hear so many things about the hippie's now . Young people talk to some of us old "hippies". Always know there are two sides☮️☮️❤️

Lived this in the 60s, still love it in 2019.

I was about 4 years old when I first heard this song. Since then, it has been the song of my life. I am 65 years old today and I have it this song as the ringtone on my iPhone. I love it!

Na versão em português diz:"Se você for até Recife,não se esqueça da esteira,do chapéu."

This is a music that is 100% connected to the 1960s. It has so few connotations that it is so strong. It is to hear and immediately return to the period, with what was good and bad, a perfect melodic picture. I was a child at the time, but I wanted to be in my 20s, even at the risk of having gone to Vietnam, the horror of the horrors of that time, but that's it: a portal song for the 1960s.

I was 7 years of age at the time, we had just moved to a farm to be self sufficient. The hippies were coming and going all of the time, I loved to sit and listen for hours on end the philosophic discussions. Fifty years have flashed by, for the past 25 I am convinced that the road to this happy idealism is via Jesus Christ, not what the churches push which is polluted, but Jesus words and deeds alone.

That’s about as classic as classic can get. Long live peace✌️ Long live rock! 🤘

How I love this song, symbol of a whole generation ❤
