Can’t remember the name or who sang it
The name of the song is If You’re Going to San Francisco.

The artist was Scott McKenzie. Great song from the flower power era.

Pennsylvania 6-5000 by Glenn Miller, came to my mind first, maybe because I was born there.

Second on my list would be "San Francisco Bay Blues"...the original folk version, not Eric Clapton's.

My wife's favorite is "Sorrento"
Guess I'm sentimental and I was born there, but "My Old Kentucky Home" is tops on my list.
