The song you mentioned at the beginning it’s “Maria, Maria”, of course a Santana song. A reaction to this one would be great too. And no, it’s not a rap song…. They took the riff from Carlos.

I think this song is off of the same album as well. Santana made a couple albums with various artists doing the lead vocals.

I went to a Santana concert, about halfway through their set I looked at the back of the stage and saw a man wearing blue jeans with a guitar sneak in, plug in his guitar and started jamming. I told my friends Eric Clapton just joined the band, everybody thought I was crazy. 3 songs later Carlos said "I'd like to introduce my friend that stopped by to jam with us, Mr. Eric Clapton. That was so awesome, they did some of Clapton's great songs and Santana's songs. Eric and Carlos side by side making their guitars sing.

Rob Thomas was actually a far bigger name (as lead singer for Matchbox 20) than Santana was at the time this came out. This was a huge comeback album for Carlos, with different singers featured throughout the album.

[@JFinSD2]

Oh come on....A Bigger Name? Really?? Yes .....Rob Thomas and MB 20 were very hot at the time this came out.....and yes the album was a comeback for Santana. BTW....Santana has been in the RRHOF since 1998. Also....you notice this is Santana featuring Rob Thomas.....Not Rob Thomas featuring Carlos Santana.

[@maineman9447]

@@JFinSD2 I don't need any history lessons. I've been listening to Santana since his first album. I was born in '58 and had an older brother who got me into a lot of music also. Went from The Monkees into Steppenwolf, Hendrix, and Sabbath in very short time. When this came out, the current generation knew nothing of Santana, and Rob Thomas was big. Of course older people knew all about Santana, but I didn't think that required an explanation. Saying "at the time" should have been enough. Of course Santana was listed first. It was his album, with different artists featured throughout.
