Ella James
"California Man" is a song by British rock and roll band the Move. It was written by the band's guitarist/vocalist Roy Wood, who has said he wrote it as a pastiche of Little Richard (Wood's favourite musician of the time) and Jerry Lee Lewis (fellow Move member Jeff Lynne's favourite musician at the time). The song was also produced by him, alongside Jeff Lynne, and recorded in 1971 at Phillip Studios, based in London. The song became the band's final charting single in the United Kingdom, charting at number 7, and would also be covered by acts such as Cheap Trick and Cliff Richard.
