Carlos Santana & Matchbox 20

Carlos Augusto Alves Santana (born July 20, 1947), known simply as Carlos Santana or Santana, is a Grammy Award-winning Mexican-born American Latin rock musician and guitarist. In 1999 he collaborated with Rob Thomas. "Smooth" is a dynamic cha-cha stop-start number co-written and sung by Thomas and laced throughout with Santana's guitar fills and runs. The track's energy was immediately apparent on radio, and it was played on a wide variety of station formats. It spent twelve weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming in the process the last #1 single of the 1990s; a music video set on a hot barrio street was also very popular.
