Story behind the song

The Summer of Love was a social phenomenon that occurred during the summer of 1967, when as many as 100,000 people converged on the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco, thus initiating a major cultural and political shift.

Lyrics

If you're going to San Francisco
 Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
 If you're 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 this nation
Theres a strong vibration
With a whole  new generation
of People in motion
People in motion
with a new explanation

 
For those who come to San Francisco
 Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair 
And if your going to San Francisco
Be sure to tell them i will be there





For those who come to San Francisco
 Summertime will be a love-in there
 In the streets of San Francisco
Your gonna meet some gentle people there
 
If you come to San Francisco
 Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
 When you go to san francisco
Youre gonna meet some gentle people there 
John Phillips Lyrics and melody

What an awesome take on an old classic! You've mixed the familiar bits to make it recognizable with your own original segments to make it your own! Fabulous Rod! I like it a lot!

This is "San Francisco" in typical Ramolly style. Flower Power at 2012.

At 1:40 you add an own part to the song, in a Rock style, followed by a talking or whispering style.

At 2:40 San Francisco is back, with flowers in your hair.

I enjoyed it, Rod. Greetings from Belgium, my friend.

I see you have done your homework on this timeless classic. This one with your signature style and sound is an absolute pleasure. Terrific singing. Great creative musical change at about 1:40 especially with the spoken word segment. Nice! You continue to bring out the very best in cover renditions….(cool ending). 5+ stars as usual.
