Description:
A soulful reinterpretation of The Mamas & The Papas’ classic, “California Dreamin’” finds Bobby Womack transforming the folk-rock hit into a brooding, gospel-funk masterpiece. Released on Minit Records, the single is defined by its moody guitar lines, deep bass, and Womack’s impassioned, gritty vocals.

This version achieved major acclaim and has appeared in several film soundtracks, including Forrest Gump (1994) and Fish Tank (2009), where its haunting tone underscores scenes of longing and transition.

The B-side, “Baby You Oughta Think It Over,” delivers a more traditional soul arrangement, highlighting Womack’s expressive storytelling and his ability to blend emotional depth with sophisticated production.
