So I was listening to Greybush's Soul Mix 4 and Soul Mix 3 and noticed that he blessed us with two different version of California Soul (originally written by Ashford and Simpson). I looked in my iTunes library to find out just how many versions of this banger I had and I found 4. I personally like the Messengers version the most, but I am more interested in finding out which version you like best. And for those of you that watch a lot of TV, yes, this is the song used in the Dockers commercial featuring San Francisco.
Marlena Shaw - California Soul (From Soul Mix 3)
The Messengers - California Soul (From DJ Shadow's Product Placement)
Diplo - California Soul (Remix from Soul Mix 4)
Gerald Wilson - California Soul (also from DJ Shadow's Product Placement)
BONUS: Gangstarr - Check the Technique
"Youre lackin the vernacular, Im slappin ya and cappin ya And closin your jaw, cause you cant mess with gangstarr The guru and premier always dope with the blessed beats Dance your ass off hobbes, check the technique"
