However, my buddy told me about his performances, and he dug out a VCR tape and threw it in for a bunch of our friends, and we blazed and watched live performances with his TV hooked up to his Sansui quad system.

@@darleneburns4093 depends whats your take as being underrated i feel. Mainstream radio, yes maybe. In the music industry, hell no.

Hello., Thanks for being a great fan over the years. I created this private account to give responses to comments as much as I can. you can send a text through my hangout Gmail. I promise to give a response back. I guess it's a little way of showing my fans appreciation.. [e-mail]

This is one of the most perfect songs ever made. It was a fucking masterpiece. Robs voice and Santana's guitar playing. PERFECTION!!

[@patsinasac2541]

Not much chance of that happening fellow Canadian. I'm a young lady of 85. No doubt be listening to your music till I can no longer do so. Love pretty much all music but "Smooth" has to be one of the best I've ever heard. Thank you.

I agree. I just love Rob and Santana.
