Biography:
Marlena Shaw (New Rochelle, 22 de septiembre de 1942), cantante estadounidense de jazz y pop. Vocalista versátil y carismática, su obra se mantiene en los límites del jazz tradicional, aun con una tendencia constante a su fusión con el pop, el soul, el blues y el rhythm and blues.
Introducida por su tío, el trompetista Jimmy Burgess, en la música de Dizzy Gillespie y Miles Davis, Marlena prestó más atención a las grabaciones de Al Hibbler, vocalista que tendría gran influencia en su estilo.

Intro:
A Bm7 C D, A (n.C)
Verse 1:
A Bm7
Like a sound you hear, that lingers in your ear,
C D A Bm7 C D
But you can't forget, from sundown to sun-set, now.
A Bm7
It's all in the air, you hear it everywhere,
C D A Bm7 C
No matter what you do; it's gonna grab a hold on you.
D Am F E7
Cali-fornia soul, California soul.
Bridge 1:
B7 D
They say the sun comes up, every morning now,
B7 D
And if you listen, oh, so careful-ly.
A Amaj7 D B7 C#7
The winds that ride, on the high time, whistle in melo-dy.
Chorus 1:
A Amaj7
And so the people started to sing,
F#m7 B7
And that's how the surf gave birth, un-told,
Am F A Bm7 C D
To California soul, California soul.
Verse 2:
A Bm7
When you hear the beat, you wanna pat your feet,
C D A Bm7 C D
And you've got to move, 'cos it's really such a groove.
A Bm7
Puts a brand new kind of thinkin' in your mind,
C D A Bm7 C
And you can't go wrong, 'cos you're groovin' all day long.
D Am F E7
Cali-fornia soul, California soul.
Bridge 2:
B7 D
They had the melody and the beat,
B7 D
But it still didn't seem com-plete.
A Amaj7 D
Until they saw two lovers kissin';
B7 C#7
They knew just what was missin'.
Chorus 1:
A Amaj7
So happy they were, rockin' and reelin',
F#m7 B7
Because they'd added that lovin' feeling.
Am F A Bm7 C D
To California soul, California soul.
Coda:
