California Soul

"California Soul" is a funk-soul tune written by Ashford & Simpson, issued originally as the B-side of the Messengers' single "Window Shopping" in 1967 under the Motown group of labels. Nick Ashford then released his own version in June 1968 on Verve 10599.[1] It was then issued as a single by American pop quintet the 5th Dimension in late 1968, and also covered by Motown vocal duo Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, and by Marlena Shaw the following year. It was Gaye's and Terrell's last single together when released in early 1970.

Both the 5th Dimension's version and the Gaye-Terrell version were modest charted hits. The 5th Dimension's performed better, reaching number twenty-five on the pop singles chart.[2] Marvin and Tammi's cover was the B-side of "The Onion Song". The duo's version of "California Soul" reached number fifty pop but never charted on the US R&B chart.[3] The duet was released after Terrell's death from a brain tumor in March 1970.

gollark: https://www.sbert.net/examples/applications/semantic-search/README.html is kind of like what you want.
gollark: Instead of recomputing the embeddings every time a new sentence comes in.
gollark: The embeddings for your example sentences are the same each time you run the model, so you can just store them somewhere and run the cosine similarity thing on all of them in bulk.
gollark: Well, it doesn't look like you ever actually move the `roberta-large-mnli` model to your GPU, but I think the Sentence Transformers one is slow because you're using it wrong.
