Scott McKenzie's 1967 single, "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)," was originally written by John Phillips (the Mamas & the Papas).

The slideshow is a bunch of pictures all from the Summer of Love, and most, if not all are from San Francisco.

Peace, love & happiness to all.

Enjoy!

Lyrics:

If you're going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you are 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.

    What about the overdoses and STDs ? These made the the concept fail - then came the Jesus movement.
