舊金山之歌演唱者Scott McKenzie 去世

San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Flowers In Your Hair)這首名曲的演唱者Scott McKenzie 8月18日於洛杉磯去世了（73歲），Scott因胃痛已住院一段時間，但何時病況轉嚴重並未透露。

Scott McKenzie原名Phil Blondheim  1939年出生於美國佛羅里達州 Jacksonville，後來她們家搬到維吉尼亞州的時候，Scott認識了John Phillips而且變成好朋友，他倆曾以the Smoothies之名一起灌過唱片，並且一直在the Journeymen合唱團唱民歌，1960年代中期當民歌風潮退燒後John Phillips組了著名的the Mamas & the Papas合唱團，Scott McKenzie則從事個人的演唱事業，John先送給Scott一首原來準備當1967年Monterey Pop Festival音樂節主題歌的San Francisco，結果成了 排行榜第4名的暢銷曲，後來還有一首Like An Old Time Movie則得到第24  名。

  Scott McKenzie 1988年曾與John Phillips ，Mike Love 及製作人Terry Melcher一同寫了電影"雞尾酒"的插曲 Kokomo ，那是一首排行榜冠軍曲，直到2010年因病住院。   

Scott的姪女說：他的叔叔非常盼望所有的人不只愛他，也彼此相愛，互相支援，他說他不能要求比此事更大的禮物 。

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
