<<<THE T⏳ME CAPSULE<<<

SMOOTH

Santana featuring Rob Thomas

1999

U.K. - #3; U.S.A. - #1

Trivia:

"Smooth" resuscitated Santana as a chart entity. It became the final US #1 of the 20th century. The music was composed by Itaal Shur, formerly of Groove Collective. Rob Thomas from the group Matchbox 20 came up with the lyrics. He initially imagined George Michael doing the vocal. Carlos Santana was not thrilled with the song, but Clive Davis predicted "Smooth" would be a hit. The single spent 12 weeks at #1 in America.
