He played the Anthem for the Summer Of Love in '67, I remember that song so well, the Tourist board should have paid him & John Philips for all the free advertisement.
He had another single but it didn't do as well as "San Francisco"

By the way, that version wasn't very good, this is the one I remember.

I think Mr. McKenzie helped or co-wrote Kokomo with Mike Love and others, A late if notthe last Beach Boy Hit in 1988...............
Not my favorite by no means, a My Ding a Ling........ song, sorry Chuck. :tongui
But it was a hit......

RIP Scott, hope he's now wearing some heavenly flowers there

I love the psychedelic years, especially 1965-1969, he wrote one of the anthems of this great era, Led Zeppelin added a very "special" version during the performance of Dazed and Confused

Another sad one....:( I mentioned this in the Phyllis Diller thread, simply becuase I heard of FOUR deaths yesterday {one might have been the day before}. It was just too much information to process at one time...:(
