Your question from the last episode was this.

Everyone knows that Carlos Santana released a very famous version of Black Magic Woman, but which British band originally wrote and recorded the song? Was it A, Fleetwood Mac, B, The Yardbirds, C, Cream, or D, John Mayall's Blues Breakers? Well, John Mayall's Blues Breakers is particularly tempting because the man who wrote this song, Peter Green, played guitar in that band before forming his own.

And the guitarist he replaced in the Blues Breakers? That would be Eric Clapton, who went on to form another one of our options, Cream.

So there are a few crossed wires here to untangle, but we can also rule out the Yardbirds, because your answer is...

Fleetwood Mac.

Now, if your mind immediately goes to Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham when you hear that name, we need to wind the clock back a little.

Before the enormous success of that lineup, Fleetwood Mac were a British blues band led by the amazing Peter Green.

Green wrote Black Magic Woman and the band released it as a single in 1968, two years before Santana recorded the version that appeared on Abraxas.

I love this little piece of history in the book.

Peter Green, one of the more famous guitar players with the band, came up with the name Fleetwood Mac by combining the names of Mick Fleetwood and John McVie.

Makes sense, right? There's a bunch of memorabilia scattered throughout.

There's an old advertisement that really stood out from their first album when Lindsay and Stevie just joined, and it described them as a great British-American male-female old-new blues rock ballad band.

Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page.

He remained active for years and died in 2011 at the age of 78.

Peter Green became one of the most respected guitarists of the British Blues era.

Born October 29, 1946, in London, he replaced Eric Clapton in John Mayles' Blues Breakers before founding Fleetwood Mac.

He wrote classics including Black Magic Woman and Albatross.

Is there any particular decade that you're more fond of?

I would go the Peter Green era.

Okay, so early.

Early.
