Rest In Peace and thanks for the music.
I was very impressed with a latter-day live rendition he did of ‘San Francisco.’ Most oldies/nostalgia acts rely on annoying Las Vegas-type arrangements, change the instrumentation significantly, or slather it all in a mess of chorus, delay and other youth-aiding tricks.
Instead, McKenzie and his backing band did a version very faithful to the original and therefore still quite moving.

He was born Philip Wallach Blondheim Does this mean that the name Philip Wallach Blondheim is now available for the taking?

I love that Monterey recording (the first link you posted). I was watching that with my daughter last year and pointed out all the other stars of the time who are featured in the video just walking or sitting around. It really cracked me up to see that Byrd with the big Russian fur hat. Those hats were the Byrds’ gimmick at the time. Mama Cass looked like she was having fun, too.

In 1988, he co-wrote another hit song “Kokomo,” with John Phillips, Beach Boy Mike Love and the late Terry Melcher for the Beach Boys.
The song became a featured part of the Beach Boys' shows. So...he's responsible for this ...also.

I believe Papa John Phillips wrote “San Francisco.” Always great to hear it on the radio. My younger days are getting farther and farther away. *sigh*
