Carlos Santana feat Rob Thomas - 'Smooth' Reaction! Give Me Your Heart, Make it Real!

[@arnaldomontes5616]

Santana has a great tone on his guitar. When you hear it, you know it's him. His magic was knowing how to put certain musicians together to make a great sound.

[@jackiefloyd8003]

I have been listening to Carlos Santana since the late 60’s and he has always been ranked as one of the greatest guitarist of all time from the get go. He excels in every form and genre of music he has ever touched. He is a MASTER guitarist and a living legend.

[@davidmccracken3554]

Carlos Santana is so old he even performed at Woodstock. Legend

[@leetroy3129]

Anybody who can listen to this song without dancing has no blood flowing in their veins! LOL!

[@mlbw1966]

AGREED ❤️

[@Jane-d4w]

I love in the mountains halfway between Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Any good bar band does this song,, and PACKS the dance floor!!! ❤❤ Santana is the greatest!! Black Magic Woman!!!❤

[@ian8241]

💯

[@christinewaide5249]

Guys..Carlos Santana is a legendary guitar player.

[@jessisanchez8150]

Santana did not want to do this song originally, he felt it was too similar to his early hits. The song writer contacted Rob Thomas, when Santana found out that Rob was married to a Latina, he accepted. Rob's wife is the one dancing in the apartment

[@lilfox1967]

Rolling Stone Magazine has Carlos listed at 11 out of 250 as the best guitarist of all time. His playing is out of this world. Amazing tune. He never disappoints. 🎸

[@behindenemylines9033]

The Santana guitar sound is undeniable

[@nicolediamond93]

I saw this and hit play so fast !!!

[@nickvlachos575]

Santana is definitely considered an all time great by people within the guitar playing community

[@2869may]

Santana is absolutely one of the best....!

[@kathrynstafford7099]

When you hear him play, you know it's Santana. I think he should be ranked up at the top.

[@shaundikes]

Yes, one of if not THE best collaboration albums out there.

[@rudedogmat]

He's a legend. Carlos is one of the top guitarist of all time

[@danacasey8543]

Carlos Santana is still touring. I have tickets to see him in April 2025! He is a top guitarist! Listen to "Samba Pa Ti".

[@kellypickle]

Oh, he is one of the greatest ever. I know what you mean, though he doesn’t get the recognition that he used to. But He is just low-key brilliant. He’s got such groove watch his Woodstock performance.

[@Cheshirecat1956]

Rob Thomas wrote this song. It was the first big hit for Santana in years.

[@DavidEveritt74]

You don’t see Santana on polls about guitarists, but he has the full respect of his peers. Fenom, you nailed it regarding Ernie Isley. In the early/middle sixties, he had a huge influence on a young guitarist in their band, some guy named Jimi..

[@KenCyrus-tb3nh]

Santana is a legend.

[@markvanderstelt8999]

thanks

[@shaundikes]

Love this whole album. Santana is a master musian. You guys rock. Enjoy your reactions

[@brie3636]

❤ My Mom is 92, very old fashioned but she loves Santana.

[@saltykitten6052]

Need to check out the live version. Amazing !!

[@neverettebrakensiek8771]

An all time fav for me, cant get enough of this whole album.

[@AmyC-j4p]

I'm So happy y'all did this one ❤ Carlos one the best guitar players of all time. Rob Thomas is incredibly talented he is the lead singer of matchbox twenty and I hope one day that you all will react to matchbox twenty. They have so many wonderful songs❤

[@pegajense]

Haven't heard this one in awhile thank you ❤

[@xJRx77]

The thing that always amazed me with Carlos Santana, besides his talent.... his band was forever changing. From his debut in Woodstock, until now, he has literally recorded with hundreds of musicians. His name has always been prominent in music.

[@sebastianblack6506]

This song is on a list of songs I never need to hear again for as long as I live.

[@TeresaMount-t9o]

Love Santana great song! Thank you guys❤

[@mlbw1966]

GREAT REDO OF A GREAT SONG WITH THE ORGINAL MASTER !! ROB THOMAS NAILED IT SMOOTH MAKES YA FEEL IT IN YOUR SOUL GOT TO GROOVE AND MOVE WITH IT I LOVE EVERY REACTION TO THIS SONG 🎵 ❤❤❤❤

[@MarkSouza-bh6sv]

Thanks!

[@charlottedixon6628]

Let's dance, guys.⭐️ Ooohhh yeah. Feel good song..♥️

[@valwhelan3533]

Rob Thomas used to be with a group called Matchbox 20. He is a good singer.....many hits. Santana also fab as usual.

[@kathiek4239]

The woman at the window in the video is Rob Thomas’s wife IRL. When he showed the lyrics to Santana, Santana replied “You are married to a Latina!” Or something like that. I love that story.

[@dturasky19]

Dude Carlos is a virtuoso on guitar

[@genaseidenschwarz2119]

This is another example of the song being made better by y'all listening to it with us.

[@HoraceAymett]

Becky here. I remember the first time hearing this. I instantly recognized the guitar being Santana but then Rob Thomas singing threw me off. LOL Thought I was going crazy until the end and the radio told us who it was.

[@shaundikes]

Me too😂

[@shirleyywilson2719]

You guys are awesome. Greetings from the Caribbean US Virgin Islands.

[@thisisitreactions]

Much love!!!!

[@tracyjohnson8057]

I remember when this came out. The job I had at the time allowed us to wear headphones and listen to music. We had a great classic rock station in town and they announced it as new Santana and I just loved it, been a fan my whole life. That day my teenage daughter came home excited about a new Rob Thomas song lol. The same one.

[@neverettebrakensiek8771]

Actually, Santana has an unmistakable sound with his guitar and for sure, he is " SMOOTH"

[@rebeccam439]

Carlos is on many lists as a great guitarist.

[@Mainecoonlady.]

Rob Thomas wrote this song and pitched to Carlos to record. First Carlos said … your lady is Latina, right? Wink wink. Then he said I’ll record it only IF, you do the vocals. And the girl that is in the apartment and dancing in front of Carlos, is Rob Thomas’ wife. Fun Fact: the lead guitarist from Journey, Neal Schon, used to skip school at 15 to play and be part of Carlos Santana band, along with Greg Rollie. Then they split, to form Journey.

[@davidroseman4917]

The most appropriate song title ever.

[@geoffsullivan7902]

Rob Thomas did Live from Darryl’s House…. He can sing- and Santana is a G since Woodstock❤😊

[@teriwilkinson7816]

Awesome

[@helenlig323]

Did y’all react to Santana at Woodstock? Essential viewing!

[@vickiroman189]

Still one of the most sensual songs ever (even without the video).

[@2869may]

"Why don't you and I", "Put you're lights on", "Winning"

[@coolguy123278]

Love this song!!!

[@mthrtrkr6231]

You guys should check out Suavecito by Malo. Carlos' brother Jorge played guitar. I spent years looking for this song thinking it was Carlos' band. Beautiful music

[@jiffin1]

Carlos ' name IS up there ...

[@xxlovely_nnightmarenightxx5035]

Santana and matchbox 20 have a lot of good music

[@djl9919]

Santana might not be on people's top, but Santana is on top of other famous guitarists top 10. Santana has respect from the right people.

[@tonyaristide2582]

Tons of radio play great tune. The girl in the window Rob Thomas wife , she's the theme of song.

[@laritownsend2527]

If this don't make ya move, ya got no soul. The singer wrote that song for Santana. The album Supernatural had a lot of artists collaborate to make this album. Smooth was his first Grammy win.

[@JamesJohnson-ig6of]

Cory: "They only had 8 songs on the whole album!" 😥 Ollie was right about Santana too! There might be early recordings of him playing in Cali when Hendrix shook the stage with his guitar. I've always read only rave reviews about Santana's guitar magic! Before he had acquired any fame he was already a prodigy on his guitar. "ONE OF MY TOP FAVORITE SONGS EVER!!" THANX GUYS!!!

[@buddystewart2020]

I wouldn't say Santana is one of the greatest of all time, he's certainly good, and a good writer, and influential. He's had a lot of great songs over the years that's for sure.

[@beppiek]

That’s Robs wife in the video Santana asked Rob if his wife was Latino because of the one line I’ll live my life to better suit your mood

[@musicairplanes4884]

Check out the live version. Great jam.

[@patriciadavis1393]

I never followed Matchbox 20 but I love Rob Thomas on the song❤❤ personally I think they should have done an album together❤❤😊😊 blessings to my boys from Canada😅😅😅

[@richardconnolly4835]

Carlos is a great collaborator. Check out the Game of Love featuring Michelle Branch - award winning.

[@jeffstamper5285]

Rob Thomas wrote this about his wife. Check out the live video. Santana played at Woodstock.

[@methos3135]

When Ron Thomas wrote this song he initially had George Michael in mind to sing it. Would have been interesting to hear what a version of Smooth with George Michael and Santana would have sounded like.

[@sjoh104041]

Carlos Santana ranks #11 on Rolling Stone’s Top 100 greatest guitarists of all time.

[@merrinielsen4248]

❤️‍🔥 smooth

[@debrahirshfield6997]

Rolling Stone top 50 guitarists, Carlos Santana is #11

[@mlbw1966]

THE GUITARIST IS THE ORGINAL LEAD SINGER OF HIS SONG !@@

[@vanessa4u4evr]

Y'all think that 53 is old???? Laughing My Butt Off!! 😆😅🤣😄

[@vernhoke7730]

There is one album I owned that only had 6 tracks on it. "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" by Iron Butterfly. Side 1 had 5 tracks, Side 2 had the title track at 17 minutes and 5 seconds.

[@ginalashley1265]

Gregg Rolie and Neil Schon of Journey were originally in Santana.

[@denisetowe895]

❤❤❤

[@annettejohnson9074]

The live version is even better

[@Mikey-DiLo]

Fantastic track! Why don’t you dive into some Queen? Somebody to Love live at Montreal 1981. White Queen live at Hammersmith Odeon 1975. Under Pressure live at Wembley 1986. Nothing beats a Queen live performance.

[@tomnewman7682]

WATCH HIS WOODSTOCK LIVE PERFORMANCE 1969, TO SEE THE YOUNG LEGEND SANTANA !!

[@TheCarnivalguy]

Man, on the Corey Roy Smile-o-Meter this song got a big fat 0. I saw the makings of a slight grin, or maybe my man was stifling a yawn. But that doesn’t count. LOL On a more serious note, this is one of those music vids that was in heavy rotation on MTV - very popular.

[@paulashanks3129]

❤😢😊 Matchbox Twenty is my favorite band. You guys should do Push! ❤🎉

[@donnagonatas3155]

Have you seen his Woodstock performance of Soul Sacrifice? If you haven't, do yourself a favor and react to it. Phenomenal!✌️❤️

[@AngelaGoodwin-fh6fw]

Okay, now you need to check out "Maria, Maria" featuring Product G&B.

[@TonyaHolceOwens]

You guys need to checkout the long version of Soul Sacrifice at Woodstock and a Live version of Europa (Earth's cry) he's one of the top 5 guitarists ever ...jazz, Latin rock with a bluesy feel!!! Your opinion might change

[@sharonchaput9705]

That's Rob's wife dancing in the apartment.

[@richardparlier3283]

Santana Abraxas sorry if it's not spelled correctly it's going off of microphone that is the bomb diggity of Carlos Santana you should do a whole album Suite of that❤❤❤❤❤ then you will love the man and his passion for music peace out

[@RichardGirard-c8m]

Please react to them doing Soul Sacrifice live at Woodstock. Non-stop super intense.

[@dchy1957]

Yeah! Carlos should be up there with few of the best, not so much for technical, but passionate. Carlos tried Maggot Brain from Funkadelic and "Who's That Lady" from the Isley's. Lousy. Listen to Ernie Isley " I Hope You Feel Better Love" it's the wildest of it's time. ❤

[@MarkSouza-bh6sv]

Bro, gotta do Santana I’m winning PLEASE🙏

[@sarahdixon1943]

❤️ 💖 ❣️ One thing I always loved about this video is the women in this video appear, for the most part, "unmodified." It's nice to see women looking proportional 😉

[@TisJustMe...]

Love me some Santana. Someone I would like to see reacted to by any reactor is Carlos' Wife ... she has drummed for him/his group for awhile now. One bad mama, LOL! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJvEgmiVf7Cribssi=4SdR5dBGbjopHdl0

[@peterwaters8338]

he's a +op 10 on mos+ lis+s

[@VinzClorthokeymasterofGozer]

Santana doesn't get mentioned in the greatest guitarist conversation as much as he used to. I feel like it's because he's not a "doodily doodily doodily" player. He wasn't about speed and screaming high notes. He was smooth and laid back. Kind of like David Gilmour from Pink Floyd. Amazing emotion and feel in their playing.

[@loisrogers9042]

❤🎉

[@terirhodes9836]

Check Santana Abraxas Album. Great album.

[@brianharron8006]

You need to checkout one of the best guitarists ever Jeff Healey playing "See the Light'. ( BTW he was blind)

[@xJRx77]

In case you guys were interested... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Santana_band_members

[@DianeAvila-bv4fc]

Santana was not a Mexican band. He started in Sam Francisco with a Latin influence along with other influences. No doubt his sound is unmistakable

[@neverettebrakensiek8771]

Please guys check out some Robin Trower. Start with " In City Dreams " Then try some others

[@revaflowers3115]

Rob's wife Marisol is the woman in the window.

[@debrahirshfield6997]

If you don’t know technical skills, you can’t react to it. Santana is one of the best.

[@kerrycronin3581]

The woman in the window is Rob's wife.

[@DLH0007]

SANTANA "Soul Sacrifice" - Live performance FULL VERSION from Woodstock . Do the Full version with the drum solo! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYTTYWibqtuFhLc

[@tomnewman7682]

OMG OLLI, IGNORANCE IS BLISS , CARLOS SANTANA HAS BEEN CONSIDERED ON OF THE ALL TIME GREATS SINCE BEFORE YOU WERE BORN ??? , COMEBACK ?? , HE'S NEVER STOPPED !! , COMEBACK ??? GIVE ME A BREAK !!
