This is largely or very unlike what would become Santana's (band and guitarista) big hits and greatest tracks. Very little Latin rock or guitar pyro in this Top 40 sound, and it's not a box this brand sought to fill in later years. But...it was an enormous breakout hit (Bill Graham was one smart fella), it launched Santana and pumped rocket fuel into a brand and name and that 55 years later keeps moving along. Go Carlos!
Get back in the kitchen?

It just me or does the mix sound off on this?

This could be a false memory but I vaguely remember in the early or mid 1970s Santana performing this on Sesame Street.
No fault of theirs, but who hasn't heard this one way, way too many times in waiting rooms, stores, elevators... "You've got to change."

I was once asked to sit in on B3 for Gregg Rolie who was a no show at rehearsal for some reason. Drove from Boston to Buffalo (460 miles) for the gig and Gregg had showed up. Just as well, no way I could have covered the vocals. My 15 minutes of fame would have to wait.

Love the album cover too! Only had 20 ratings when the song began this play.

Didn't care for the "housewife" lyrics back then, now it is sooo dated.
ah, Senior year of high school classic.

Have you heard all of them? Doubtful. I have. If you expand your Santana-logue, many tracks will sound very differently very quickly. There is a deep dive catalogue from the '70s, '80s and later that is quite different from those more commercially heard, on which he plays with stellar international musicians from jazz, world, and other rock titans.
All Santana songs sound the same to me.

THIS is overplayed but Oye Como Va isn't? Both of the songs that you referenced are legendary Santana and, sadly, are played much more often than other songs in his catalog. I go for Soul Sacrifice but some of his later work (Somewhere In Heaven and Free All the People off of the Milagro album) is equally fantastic, if not Legendary.
I seldom hear this on RP. This is simple compared to the astonishing breadth and tracks Carlos and his compadres were mastering just 3 - 4 years later. Song of the Wind, Every Step of the Way, Promise of a Fisherman. All of them way beyond Evil Ways, believe me.

I can't seem to play this loud enough. I can say with perfect certainty, Bill, that the problem is at your end…
Buenas Noches!!! Music Best!!

coloradojohn...you and I are probably smoke buddies that never met! That stereo channel separation on this track (and album really) is one of the things I remember most from this, when listening to it on CD in my post HS graduation prior to starting college lets get F'd up phase...well that's when I started smoking for real and this music really seeped into my soul then. Great music and great memories = GODLIKE 10 rating from SEAtown!
Long Live RP!
PS - BillG - I think it's kinda funny that you have such a hard time playing those old "classic rock" songs from your former FM dj days....and I'm sure you spun this record a thousand times....glad to hear you "spin" it again! Thanks from big Joe!
A Bar Mitzvah staple, back in the daze
this song reminds me to

This is one of my all-time favorite LP covers. How many heads can you find? I didn't know that a song could have a RP entry if it had never been played. At least this is the first one that I've seen.

Sick of Santana especially this song, at least to me it's overplayed fluff. Oye Como Va, is Legendary Santana
