Scott McKenzie is principally known for his single solo hit "San Francisco" which he recorded in 1967. The lyrics were: If you are going to San Francisco, be sure and wear some flower in your hair. From the time the song debuted, it quickly rose near the top of the Billboard "Hot100" where it remained for the better part of a year. Though Scott had been part of several singing groups prior to his solo debut, he later wrote the song "Kokomo" sung by the Beach Boys.
