I was aware of the older Santana hits like "Evil Ways", "Jingo", and "Black Magic Woman", but it wasn't until I hit sixth grade that I began to dig Santana. The album then was MARATHON with new vocalist -- Scotsman, Alex Ligertwood. The hit single off the album was "And You Know that I Love You". Around the same time, the Santana off-shoot band, Journey came out with their breakthrough album, Departure, that featured the initial hit, "Any Way You Want It". As an American Top 40 buff, I got into both bands and began to backtrack to the older Santana catalogue. Definitely great stuff.
