V: Britain's Greatest Living Prophet
As a post-punk, and someone who wasn't even around in the Sixties and felt it all seemed a bit fake, I went for years not liking Scott McKenzie's "San Francisco": until I went through a crisis in life where I saw how brutal the authorities can be to people who drop out and do their own thing. When I heard the song on the radio, I was in one of those old English country pubs and I just burst into floods of tears. The promise of meeting gentle people sounded more appealing after that. I've completely changed my mind. Now I completely get the point of the song and think it's a work of genius.
We've got to stand up to the hyenas. I'm doing my bit, and hey, I hope you all are too.

Hi,
I've always loved 1960's music and fashions, although I didn't discover it until way after that decade! As a child in the 1970's, was given a couple of Mamas & Papas albums, which I loved, and eventually did some reading about them, thus discovering Scott McKenzie and his gorgeous recording of "San Francisco"
That song is so evocative of the era and its philosophy. It takes me to a simpler time whenever I hear it. If you have to be a one-hit wonder, I agree with Scott: this song is definitely a great one to be associated with! Wish him the best in retirement.

In Cuba, when I was a child the communist regime did not allow the songs sung in English, so I heard San Francisco for the first time in the Spanish version of The Mustangs, a group of Spain. After a few years for first time I heard the original version of Scott McKenzie's voice, which I could not ever be separated. One of the most beautiful songs I've heard in my life and hopefully one day I can meet Scott personally. It is one of my dreams unrealized. Greetings Scott and live many more years.

The tune San Francisco ringing in my mind is enough to bring a total sense of innocence and freedom. It's almost a spiritual, certainly an inexplicable sensation. Thanks for music that will live with me and millions till the end of our time.

Hallo Scott !
Seit wir, meine Frau und ich, den Song gehört haben lieben wir ihn und San Francisco. Juni 2011 haben wir unseren Traum wahrgemacht und die schönste Stadt der Welt besucht. Auf der Golden Gate haben wir meinen 65. Geburtstag gefeiert. An der Fisherman`s Wharf spielte ein Straßenmusikant Ihr Lied und wir hatten Tränen in den Augen. San Francisco zu erleben war einer der schönsten Momente in unserem Leben.

Are Scott's albums still available? I remember having his first album and listening to it over and over when I was 16 years old. Now at 58, I would love to have those memories back again. If Scott's albums are available, please let me know at mschlags@yahoo.com. Thanks for the website!

I was 12-13 in 1967 when "San Francisco" was released. I suppose each person has their own POV, but this song brings back that time and era for me like no other. Sometimes that's an exhilirating thing and sometimes it's not. (I mean this all in a good way.) I came across the CD in my collection with this song on it today and have been listening to it again over and over. Once seems never enough. (Just like I noticed KRLA played it several times when first receiving it!) Decided to look up and find out a bit about you, Scott, and was delighted to see this website. I have always loved your voice. Also delighted to know you co-wrote Kokomo, a song that means a lot to me for other reasons. I hate to let go here. What's your cat's name?

Loved Scott's music in 1967 and it now. Such a wonderful voice. So pure and real. My favorite song of his was "Like an Old Time Movie" It was even more hippie than San Francisco..to me. All his music is great to listen to, so timeless and memory-filled to me. Ahhh 1967, this was me, a 14 year old in a Texas town,,,,, Best wishes Scott...fans still love your music.

It was different for us in the south in 1967. San Francisco had it's own special meaning for us and still does! Thanks for the music and memories. JB

Thanks for ther wonderful music.
The two versions of "What's the Difference" and "Like and Old Time Movie" were my favourite songs when I first heard them back then.
They still rank among my all time best songs, not only of that era, but of any era.
I didn't know you had a hand in "Kokomo" until i read this website.
It's one of my faves too.
