"California Soul" is a pop-soul tune written by Ashford & Simpson, issued originally as a single by American pop quintet The Fifth Dimension in late 1968. It was also covered by Motown vocal duo Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell the next year and was the duo's last single together when released in early 1970. Both the Fifth Dimension's version and the Gaye/Terrell version were modest charted hits. The original performed better reaching number twenty-five on the pop singles chart, while Marvin and Tammi's cover reached number fifty-six pop but never charted R&B. The duet was released after Terrell's tragic death from a brain tumor in March 1970. The song was a socially conscious-type of song advocating love and peace. In 1969 Bluenote singer Marlena Shaw also did a version of the song which is now featured in a Dockers commercial circa 2008. The Diplo remix appears on the Verve Remixed volume 4 compilation album. The song is also featured in The Italian Job (2003 film), starring Mark Wahlberg. The song is sampled by Gang Starr in their song "Check the Technique." Additionally, a sample of the chorus from the Marlena Shaw version was used by Adam Freeland in his song "Mind Killer" aka "FEAR", which was featured in the 2001 video game Rez.. + Informações

From her 1969 album "Spice Of Life" Marlena Shaw wasn't apolitical before she recorded "Woman of the Ghetto" in 1969. No black woman could afford to sit on the sidelines as the nation sifted the ashes of the most incendiary decade in US race relations since the end of the Civil War. Martin Luther King Jr. met his violent death the previous year and the urban landscapes of New York, LA, Detroit and Cleveland bore fresh scars from economically ruinous riots. The nascent women's movement was urging suburban housewives to question their social and legal status, and for the first time since the mortal chill of the mid-century red scare, intellectuals and students began voicing loud objections to class privilege. But prior to recording Spice of Life (US, UK), Shaw was probably best known as a versatile jazz singer who performed with The Count Basie Orchestra, an interpreter of lyrically neutral standards.. + Informações

From her 1977 album "Sweet Beginnings" While everyone agrees that Marlena Shaw is a national treasure, its difficult to categorize her. Both Downbeat and Record World have named her Best Female Singer, and many have compared her range, class and swing that of to eternal jazz lights like Sarah Vaughn, Dinah Washington, and Nancy Wilson. But shes also been called a soul legend, both before and after her successful detour into disco. Marlenas a lyricist and composer as well -- for example, her ballad You was recorded by both Stanley Turrentine and Benny Golson. Given her 40-year boundary-busting career, such labeling confusion is inevitable. Its easier and more descriptive to think of Marlena as a natural element: like water, which we recognize in a gleaming dewdrop or clear mountain stream, Marlenas music is unmistakable. Whether shes singing jazz, R&B, pop, rock, soul, disco, blues or gospel, her originality makes such distinctions irrelevant, and each song becomes intimate and new. Marlena is a soulful survivor whos been there, and more than once. But her music is never heavy -- where others might communicate pain or despair, she offers wisdom and hope, laced with humor. Born in Valhalla, New York and raised on gospel and jazz, Marlenas first public performance was at the age of 10, at the legendary Apollo Theater. Her activities since then have been as diverse as her legions of fans. Marlena has fronted big bands and orchestras, among them Basies (both original and new .... + Informações

From the album Spice of Life Like a sound you hear That lingers in your ear But you can't forget From sundown to sunset It's all in the air You hear it everywhere No matter what you do It's gonna grab a hold on you California soul, California soul They say the sun comes up every morning And if you listen oh so carefully The winds that ride on the high time Whistle in melody And so the people started to sing And that's how the surf gave birth untold To California soul, California soul When you hear the beat You wanna pat your feet And you've got to move cause It's really such a groove Puts a brand new kind of thinkin' in your mind And you can't go wrong Cause you're groovin' all day long California soul, California soul They had the melody and the beat But it still didn't seem complete Until they saw two lovers kissin They knew just what was missin So happy they were rockin and reelin Because that added that lovin feeling To California soul, California soul Like a sound you hear That lingers in your ear. + Informações
