1967 stands as a highwater year in rock music. That summer, known as the “summer of love,” one could turn on the radio at any moment and hear the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper album in its entirety, the Doors’ “Light My Fire,” and “San Francisco,” an ode to the hippie scene in that city, written by John Phillips of the Mamas and Papas, and sung by his friend from his folk group days, Scott McKenzie. “San Francisco” went to #4 that year.
