What makes it "Smooth" is Carlos Santana's buttery guitar tone.

[crimsonrush]

When I think of all the great musicians that have passed through this band...

[bful]

Santana e banda. Sempre genuinamente músicos fantástico.

[oriannabertuccioli]

[jadedemotions]

Rob performing this without Carlos doesnt sound right
Carlos performing this without Rob doesn't sound right

Man, it's a hot one
Like seven inches from the midday sun
Well, I hear you whisper and the words melt everyone
But you stay so cool
My muñequita, my Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa
You're my reason for reason
The step in my groove
And if you said this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
Because you're so smooth
And it's just like the ocean under the moon
Oh, it's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Give me your heart, make it real, or else forget about it
But I'll tell you one thing
If you would leave it'd be a crying shame
In every breath and every word
I hear your name calling me out
Out from the barrio
You hear my rhythm on your radio
You feel the turning of the world, so soft and slow
It's turning you round and round
And if you said this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
Because you're so smooth
Well, and it's just like the ocean under the moon
Well, it's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Give me your heart, make it real, or else forget about it
Well, and it's just like the ocean under the moon
Oh, it's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Give me your heart, make it real, or else forget about it
Or else forget about it
Or else forget about it
Oh, let's don't forget about it
Give me your heart, make it real
Let's don't forget about it (hey)
Let's don't forget about it (now, oh, now, oh)
Let's don't forget about it (now, now, now, oh)
Let's don't forget about it (hey, now, now, oh)
Let's don't forget about it (hey, hey, hey)

pura musica con clase musicos profesionales poreso soy fanatico de santana

[Faroino]

Always original version is the best ...

[ronniecoffeebeing]

Seems more like a Karaoke without Rob😂

[claudiojusto]

"to better suit your mood" glorioso¡¡¡¡¡

[spivvo]

Points at hot girl... "yes that one.... dressing room after show"

[cynthiasatterfield]

Sorry, only Rob Thomas can do this song justice. Carlos is a phenomenal guitarist but Rob's vocals and presentation makes it so totally hot!

[marcosadventures]

Why santana's tone is different in live and his guitar's volume hears like doesnt enough volume?

[queenbee]

Wheres Rob? No dont sing it without rob

[zainmd]

No Rob'....Sorry Mr Santana. It just ain't smooth.

[dimitrisevangelopoulos]

Which PRS model is Santana using in this one?

[usmarine-cknr]

No way. It's not the same. I can't even watch the entire video

[majdabass]

This singers were backing singers and they should be because they don't sing good alone

[marktheregulardude]

Aside from vocals, this version just lacks some of the feeling from the original.

It doesnt feel raw, passionate, or sensual. The whole band is off. The vocals from the Hispanic dude could be way better. More feels man, this song is a serenade, so sing like you have that hot, once in a lifetime lady right in front of you! Also, at some point I feel like Santana just plays random notes, not in an improv way, but in a filler way, and doesnt bring any new feeling to the song (towards the end, was some solid sounds though I must admit, that wasnt expected)

[lucastorquato]

Dessa forma tá uma música morta!
Com Rob Thomas no intérprete o som fica vivo!
