California Soul
Artist:Marlena Shaw
Songwriters: Ashford, Nickolas / Simpson, Valerie

Like a sound you hear
That lingers in your ear
But you can't forget
From sundawn to sunset

It's all in the air
You hear it everywhere
No matter what you do
It's gonna get a grab 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 tide
Whistles a melody

So the people started into 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 gotta move
Cause it's really such a groove

Puts a brand new kind
Of thinking in your mind
And you can't go wrong
Cause you're happy all day long

California soul
California soul

You had the melody and the beat
But it still didn't seem complete
Until they saw two lovers kissing
They knew just what was missing

So happy they were
Rocking and reeling
Because they had added that loving feeling

To California soul
California soul
