Rather than merely covering the hits of the day, Montgomery reinvents them, extracting fresh emotion and sophistication from songs like the sunshine-soaked title track, the soulful \"Sunny,\" and the Beatles' \"Yesterday.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result was a commercial and artistic triumph. California Dreaming reached No. 1 on the Billboard Jazz Albums chart and crossed over to No. 4 on the R\u0026amp;B chart, further cementing Montgomery's status as one of the most beloved and influential guitarists of his era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the peak of his popularity, the guitarist unexpectedly died of a heart attack just a year later on June 15, 1968, at the age of 45. That loss only deepens the poignancy of California Dreaming — a radiant album that showcases an artist who could make even familiar songs sound entirely his own. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"tracks\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"200\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd nowrap\u003eSide A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd nowrap\u003e1.
