Who had a 1960s hit with 'Let's Go To San Francisco'?

The Flower Pot Men were an English pop group created in 1967 as a result of the single, "Let's Go to San Francisco", recorded by session musicians, becoming a major UK Top 20 and Continental Europe hit in the autumn of 1967. The group's sound was characterized by rich, three-part vocal harmonies.

The Flower Pot Men were a studio recording construct created by John Carter and Ken Lewis, originally the main songwriters of The Ivy League. They notably were featured as backup vocalists for early Who albums and for the first recording of The Sagittarius', "My World Fell Down". Ken Lewis departed as a result of his lack of interest to tour, and Carter joined him soon after to create a musical songwriting duo.

I had to guess the only one I'd never heard of, because I don't know the song either. I was right!😁

George Oliver Prince

I knew it wasn't any of the first three, and know their music, had to be somebody I'd never heard of

I knew the music of the other choices, so the process of elimination.

Just listened to it on you tube , not bad actually !! 👍

Tom Knox

I selected the only choice I wasn't familiar with, because I knew most of the songs from the other bands listed.

CCR, from SF, wasn't an option for this folkwagon.

Howard Groopman

Had to be the band I'd never heard of for a song I didn't know either.

Puppermom

Never heard of them. Cute name.

Lynne Zeman

Didn't play in the US

Deborah Gabriel

I have heard of the song but not the group.

Richard D. Boyle

Only obscure group in the options. Had to be the right answer for such an obscure hit.

Phil Kennelty

Correct answer: "Let's Go To San Francisco" was not a hit. I never heard of it; I grew up in the flower power era and know most of the songs by the other three groups.
