I knew I recognized the track to be an old soul song but I couldn't remember who it was by originally so I turned to Wiki for some insight. Marlena Shaw (Bluenote artist) does the new version featured in the commercial but the original version was penned by Ashford & Simpson in 1969 and released as a single by The Fifth Dimension as well as Marvin Gaye with Tammi Terrell. Mystery solved.

California Soul
Anyone watching the Stanley Cup playoffs with any regularity probably has the television commericals memorized by now; I know I do. The Dockers ad runs nearly every break so it isn't all that surprising that I find myself humming the track "California Soul" even when I am nowhere near a television set or a hockey game.
