Greatest
Hits is an early collection, dating back to 1974, and it does a
good job of skimming the cream from the band's classic 1969-71 period,
which yielded the first three albums,
Santana,
Abraxas,
and
Santana III. It also avoids the great, sprawling mass of
ephemera and second-line material that pads Santana's later catalog: The
peaks after '71 are far more thinly spread--and are seldom as lofty.

Santana Biography
Carlos Augusto Alves Santana is the Mexican guitarist and creative
focus of the band Santana, who is often considered to be one of the
greatest guitarists of all time. Among modern audiences he is best
known for the song "Smooth" (featuring Rob Thomas), which won three
Grammys and topped the Hot 100 for 12 weeks, making it one of the most
successful songs in American chart history.
Santana started out in
the early 70s San Francisco music scene as the namesake for the Santana
Blues Band. In the early years the Santana Blues Band created a unique
sound by blending rock, blues and jazz with salsa, Latin percussion
(congas and timbales), and Santana's melodic, bluesy guitar solos.
Originally the band was made-up of Santana, Gregg Rolie (keyboard,
vocal), Gus Rodriguez (bass), Tom Frazier (guitar), Mike Carabello
(percussion) and Rod Harper (drums). However when Santana was inducted
into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (1998), it was Santana, Gregg
Rolie, David Brown, Mike Carabello, Jose Chepito Areas and Michael
Shrieve who were honoured. Eventually the Santana band became simply
Carlos Santana and a revolving cast of featured guests.
Santana's
early success came with the debut album Santana, which helped
to bring Latin music to mainstream American audiences, as well as the
rest of the world. Shortly before the release of Santana they
appeared at Woodstock '69 and gave a legendary performance, including an
11-minute long "Soul Sacrifice" that appeared in the Woodstock
film and on the soundtrack. Santana next released their seminal album Abraxas
(1970) to huge critical and commercial success. Abraxas
spawned their biggest hits "Black Magic Woman" and "Oye Como Va" (both
covers and originally by Fleetwood Mac and Tito Puente respectively).
Santana the band lasted one more album Santana III, released in
1971, before they went their separate ways. Most notably Rolie went on
to form the arena-rock band Journey.
Santana continued alone
achieving significant success but never topping Abraxas, until
the release of his comeback album in 1999 Supernatural. The
album sold more than 25 million copies worldwide, winning numerous
awards including nine Grammys, and spawning the massive hit singles
"Smooth", featuring Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty on vocals (No.1 for 12
weeks), and "Maria Maria", featuring Product G&B (No.1 for 10
weeks). It was his most successful album ever and helped to expose
Santana and his unique blend of jazz-fusion and Latin music to a new
generation of listeners.
