The black magoc woman sanrana
"Black Magic Woman" was a hit for Santana, but few people know that it's actually a cover of a 1968 Fleetwood Mac song that hit #37 in the UK. Peter Green, who was a founding member of Fleetwood Mac, wrote the lyrics.
Many also don't know that Santana started out as a blues band, just like Fleetwood Mac. "I used to go to see the original Fleetwood Mac, and they used to kill me, just knock me out," Carlos Santana said in the book The Guitar Greats. "To me, they were the best blues band."
Santana put their own spin on the song, incorporating Latin textures, but they kept the basic sound from the original intact.
The 1:49 instrumental at the end is called "Gypsy Queen," and was written by the Hungarian jazz guitarist Gabor Szabo. It was omitted from Santana's 1974 Greatest Hits album, even though radio stations usually play "Black Magic Woman" and "Gypsy Queen" as one song. >>

The original version is based on a blues song Peter Green wrote for Fleetwood Mac's first UK album called "I Loved Another Woman." Mick Fleetwood called the original version, "Three minutes of sustain/reverb guitar with two exquisite solos from Peter."
The royalties generated by Santana's cover of this song helped sustain the song's writer, Peter Green, after he left Fleetwood Mac. Green gave most of his money away when he left the band, and would have found himself destitute later in the '70s if he didn't get checks from his old hits.
After this was released, Peter Green befriended some people who were into black magic. In an interview with Cameron Crowe of Rolling Stone magazine, Christine McVie said these were the people who turned him on to acid, which led to Green leaving Fleetwood Mac.
Santana keybord player Gregg Rolie sang lead on this. He joined Journey in 1973.For this song's solo, Santana played across the Latin rhythm on his Gibson Les Paul Special through the amp and rode the volume knob throughout the track to add sustain and distortion as required.
"Black Magic Woman" was the first single from Santana's second album, Abraxas, released in September 1970. In August 1969, they delivered one of the most memorable performances at Woodstock and released their debut album just two weeks later. Thrust into stardom, they toured constantly and didn't have much time to write new songs, so they included two covers on Abraxas; their version of Tito Puente's "Oye Como Va" was the second single from the album, and also a hit.
Their first three albums all fulfilled the promise of their Woodstock performance and made them one of the biggest bands in America, but in 1972 they started to fracture and went through a number of lineup changes. The band reinvented themselves many times over the years, with guitarist and namesake Carlos Santana the constant. In 1999, at a career nadir, they released one of the best-selling and most-acclaimed albums of that era: Supernatural.

- Stefan from Eden, Ny And of course Peter Green wrote another famous song with a color in the title, which. like Black Magic Woman. became even more famous when another band covered it. Judas Priest put their own spin on Peter Green's Green Manalishi (with the two-pronged crown).
- Glenda Barton from El Verano, Ca Yes Carlos Santana, I believe, played in that famous version of "Sauvecito" with his relative who formed the band Malo. I used to live upstairs from Malo in the Mission and hear them practice all the time.
- Howard from St. Louis Park, Mn I have heard Santana's version many times and to me it's a prime example of Carlos Santana's outstanding guitar work. Today, it is a memory of Peter Green, who wrote the song when he was an original member of Fleetwood Mac.
- Jennifur Sun from Ramona Stratis, I've been know to feel that way about a cool looking car and I don't consider myself materialistic.
- Barry from Sauquoit, Ny On January 10th 1971, "Black Magic Woman" by Santana peaked at #4 (for 2 weeks) on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; it had entered the chart on November 8th, 1970 and spent 13 weeks on the Top 100 (and 7 of those 13 weeks were on Top 10).
Was track two of side one on the group's 2nd studio album, "Abraxas", and on October 8th, 1971 the album reached #1 (for 1 week) on Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart.
One other track from the album also made the Top 100, "Oye Como Va"; it peaked at #13 and stayed on the Top 100 for 10 weeks.
Carlos Santana will celebrate his 67th birthday this coming July 20th. - Eric from Nyc, Ny @- wyatt, anywhere, United States
Santana sued Budweiser because they copied his arrangement of Black Magic Women. Two people can record a song and have it come out very different. I was watching a show years back were a band played country songs in a blues style and blues songs in a country style. It was very enlightening.
A modern example of this is Hayseed Dixie's covers of heavy metal songs in a bluegrass arrangement.
It's unfortunate that Peter seldom gets credit for writing "such a ledgendary song." I hope he gets the royalties, at least.

Dr. JohnSongwriter Interviews
The good doctor shares some candid insights on recording with Phil Spector and The Black Keys.
The original version, however, is substantially different from Santana’s iconic recording (the first and most memorable version appeared on Abraxas in 1970). Fleetwood Mac’s Black Magic Woman is a simple guitar/bass/drum instrumental track with a vocal overlaid. Although there are hints of the melodic guitar riffs that Carlos later made famous, most listeners would barely recognize the song.
