The big radio hit from the album was "Black Magic Woman", a song originally done by Peter Green's version of Fleetwood Mac. While Santana's reading does not eclipse the original, it does match it. Mick Fleetwood's barrelhouse drums are replaced with a simmering stew of percussion that eventually boils over when the song kicks into high gear. Santana pays homage to the original guitar parts, but the sheer originality of his playing oozes in every second of this recording.
