Santana

Songwriter: Chris Solberg Carlos Santana

Sufferin' night and day
People all around me crying
Enough--what's the use
We don't even feel like trying
Hatred, doubt, and fear
It's not the way toward the solution
There must be a way
To be free from all illusion

Love
Oh, love
All we need is love

History loudly claims
That we never learn our lesson
We kill one another
We put the blame on greed and passion
Wise men calmly say
Every man shall reach perfection
If we help each other
We shall reach our destination

Love
Oh, love
All we need is love

Love
Oh, love
All we need is love

Carlos Augusto Alves Santana (born July 20, 1947 in Autlán de Navarro, Jalisco) is a Mexican and American musician who became famous in the late 1960s and early 1970s with his band, Santana, which pioneered a fusion of rock and Latin American music. Carlos prefers to only play and leave lead vocals to guest singers. The band’s sound featured his melodic, blues-based guitar lines set against Latin and African rhythms featuring percussion instruments such as timbales and congas not generally heard in rock music. He experienced a resurgence of popularity and critical acclaim in the late 1990s. In 2003 Rolling Stone magazine listed Santana at number 20 on their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. He has won ten Grammy Awards and three Latin Grammy Awards.
