Santana is a living guitar legend in his own right, and he had enjoyed decades of triumphant success. But once the 90s hit, the delivered album after album of chart disappointments. Santana wanted to prove to the world he was out of the 60s and could deliver music that fit in with the contemporary pop radio of the time. Usher in Rob Thomas, singer for Matchbox Twenty, in an unlikely pairing of old and new to deliver one of the most successful pop songs of all time. Dive deep with me as we discuss how Santana's collaborative album "Supernatural" was the comeback he was hoping for, and how the song "Smooth" was surprisingly created.
