Scott McKenzie of '60 hit 'San Francisco'
dies
Veteran singer Scott McKenzie died Saturday at the age of 73 in Los Angeles. He is perhaps best known for his 1967 hit single "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)."
In his early career, McKenzie found fame with doo-wop band The Abstracts, which became The Smoothies. They later formed The Journeymen with John Phillips and Dick Weissman.
The Journeymen disbanded n the 1960s and McKenzie
declined an offer from Phillips to join his new group -- The Mamas and
the Papas. McKenzie later joined a new version of The Mamas and the Papas in
the 1980s.
