"San Bernadino" is a 1970 song by English band Christie. The song did not match the success of their previous single "Yellow River", but was still a top-ten hit in several countries and topped the charts in Switzerland.[1] In the US, the song only managed to peak at number 100 on 30 January 1971.[2] After the song became a hit, the band members admitted that they had never visited the city of San Bernardino, California.
