Psychedelic Rock
This song about a woman who is not respectful of her man and is making him feel like a fool was first recorded by Latin jazz percussionist Willie Bobo and released on his 1967 album Bobo Motion. It was written by Bob’s guitarist Clarence “Sonny” Henry. Santana recorded it in 1969 for their first album titled Santana, and it did well for them, particularly after their performance at the Woodstock festival. They released it as a single late in 1969, and it became their first top 10 hit, rising to #9 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Gregg Rolie sings the lead vocals and plays a Hammond organ solo in the middle of the song. Carlos Santana, after whom the group is named (of course), has his wonderful guitar work featured. Personnel, besides Rolie and Santana, on the track were David Brown (bass), Michael Shrieve (drums, Michael Carabello (congas, perussion), and José “Chepito” Areas (timbales, congas, percussion).
