Smooth

But Sean, do you know what the answer is?

The answer is Smooth.

[ding]

Oh, yeah.

The answer is Smooth by Santana and Rob Thomas.

Yeah.

And I tend to believe this.

And Gorman said that the most played song on the radio of the '90s and the 2000s-

By the late 1980s, his popularity had faded.

Then in 1999, the song Smooth exploded on the radio, which I loved.

It featured Rob Thomas, and it was part of Santana's album Supernatural, where Santana collaborated with artists like Eric Clapton, Dave Matthews, and CeeLo Green, and the album immediately became a massive global success.

What stunned me was his interview published in Rolling Stone magazine in March of 2000, and the title was The Epic Life of Carlos Santana, A Tale of Angels, Devils, Gurus, Tijuana Whorehouses & Buried Secrets, and Redemption After 30 Years of Rock & Roll by Chris Heath.

For most people, the story of Carlos Santana begins at Woodstock in 1969, where his electrifying performance introduced the world to one of the greatest guitarists of all time.

From Black Magic Woman and Oi Como Va to Smooth and Maria Maria, Carlos' music has become part of the soundtrack of our lives.

got

a black magic woman got a black magic woman i've got a black magic woman got me so blind i can't see that she's a black magic woman she's trying to Yes, don't turn your back on the baby.

A lot of people told me that I was committing career suicide because they wanted me to keep cranking up more Abraxas, more Abraxas, more Abraxas.

I said, no, no, no, that was done.

I can't repeat Oye Como Va over and over in Black Magic Woman because Maria Maria is waiting over there and Smooth is waiting over there, you know? So I have to grow.

Even a turtle has to stick his neck out to get ahead.

[laughs] Uh, funny thing is, I don't particularly enjoy that album too much.

I just really like Smooth and Maria Maria also, but just Smooth.

But do you like Rob Thomas outside of that album?

I do, yeah.
