Scott McKenzie has passed. He sang this sixties anthem:

[DFW]

12. Once back in the early seventies, Scott McKenzie showed up unannounced

I was in college, and we had just seen a film in the University's auditorium, when suddenly a student came out with a microphone and said Scott McKenzie was there and would give a free concert to all who wanted to stick around- Most of us stuck around.

The one song he wouldn't sing was "San Francisco," saying times had changed, and the lyrics no longer reflected reality. He obviously relented later on, but even so, his songs were all ones I have never heard before or since, and it was a wonderful concert. His voice was the same as it always was--soothing and comforting. He was alone, accompanying himself on a big Guild 212-XL twelve string guitar.
