Copied!

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

Coz those who come to San Francisco
Summer time will be a loving day
In the streets of San Francisco
Gentle people with flowers in there hair

All across the nation
Such a strange vibration
People emotions
There is a whole generation
With a new explanation
People emotions
People emotions

All those who come to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you come to San Francisco
Summer time will be a loving day

If you come to San Francisco
Summer time will be a loving day

The Mamas and the Papas were a folk rock and psychedelic pop vocal group who recorded and performed on 1965–1968. They’re a defining force in the music scene of the counterculture of the ‘60s—the hippie movement.

Their sound was based on vocal harmonies arranged by John Phillips, the songwriter, musician, and leader of the group who adapted folk to the new beat style of the early sixties.

The Mamas & The Papas released a total of five studio albums and seventeen singles over a four-year period, six of which made the Billboard top ten, and have sold close to 40 million records worldwide. These hit singles were:

No. 4: “California Dreamin'” No. 1: “Monday, Monday” No. 5: “I Saw Her Again” No. 5: “Words of Love” No. 2: “Dedicated to the One I Love” No. 5: “Creeque Alley” The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 for their contributions to the music industry. The band reunited briefly to record the album People Like Us in 1971, but had ceased touring and performing by that time.
