Marlena Shaw - California Soul

(1969) (First release by The Messengers - September 7, 1967) Like a sound you hear That lingers in your ear But you can&forget From sundown to sunset It&all in the air You hear it everywhere No matter what you do It&gonna grab a hold on you California soul, California soul They say the sun comes up every morning And if you listen carefully The winds that ride on the high time Whistle a melody And so the people started to sing And that&how the surf gave birth untold California soul, California soul When you hear the beat You wanna pat your feet And you&got to move Cause it&really such a groove Puts a brand new kind of thinking in your mind And you can&go wrong Cause you&groovin&all day long California soul, California soul They had the melody and the beat But it still didn&seem complete Until they saw two lovers kissin' They knew just what was missin' So happy they were rockin&and reelin' Because they added that lovin&feeling To California soul, California soul California soul
