Album Notes & Community Reviews
Penned by John Phillips to promote the upcoming Monterey Pop Festival, this gentle, acoustic-driven track became the unofficial anthem of the 1967 Summer of Love. The sweeping, orchestral production and deeply idealistic lyrics perfectly captured the utopian aspirations of the Hippie movement.
