How can anyone forget Santana’s electric 1969 performance of Soul Sacrifice in Woodstock ? Or his 1976 instrumental tour de force Europa ? Or maybe you got introduced to the liquid and lyrical guitar playing of Carlos Santana through his 1999 single Maria, Maria ? That longevity can only be explained by the fact that the man means every single note he plays, and his talent for phrasing is almost... well, supernatural.
