I don't watch much television, but I happened to see the current
Dockers ad. I loved the song the first time I heard it!
Turns out it's California Soul by Marlena Shaw. I never heard of her, but I love the smooth bass groove.
Another song for iTunes...

Great tune. It was used on an Ad over here too. I'm not sure that it was Dockers though.
Sometimes I think the tunes that go with these adverts are more momorable than the product they are supposed to be selling. Or is that just because I take more notice of the music than the product?

Include a youtube link when you say something ablout a tune like this!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmk30mvVz3Y
Otherwise someone will link a song like this that you will never be able to get out of your head for the rest of the week.

enjoy

Well, the singer is nothing special, but her bass player(s) defintely puts down a solid groove and tasty fills. Very Motown.

Guitar solos only last about 30 seconds, the bass line goes on for the whole song.

Neat song, thanks.
I miss Dockers.
I don't think we have them over here.
They last forever, don't they!

Anyone remember when there was a Levi's commercial featuring "Pressure Point" by the Zutons? [Man steals his own jeans from lover's house, mean-looking dog takes them back, or something.] Loved that song--not much going on in it, but it had a great feel--and I ran out and bought the CD. Turned out it was a pretty wimpy album. I'm really glad iTunes exists now.
