二十年前的這個週末，Santana獲得多項殊榮的專輯唱片Supernatural公開發行，這張專輯裡的單曲"Smooth"得到連續12週排行榜冠軍，後來一共獲得8座Grammy獎，包括最佳專輯、年度最佳歌曲、最佳唱片…，專輯在美國一共賣了一千五百萬張。
Supernatural這張專輯的概念來自傳奇吉他手Carlos Santana和他來自不同歌路的歌手好友，執行製作人Clive Davis當時到Santana的公司工作，他請到了Eric Clapton、 Lauryn Hill、Cee Lo Green、墨西哥搖滾樂手 Maná 、Dave Matthews，嘻哈歌手Everlast，R&B 二重唱The Product G&B 及Matchbox Twenty的 Rob Thomas。
"Smooth" 主唱是Rob Thomas，他也一起寫這首歌，很能抓住墨西哥流行風格的此曲，也成了Santana在the Billboard Hot 100排行榜上第一首冠軍曲，這首連續12週冠軍曲也跨界在各搖滾、流行、拉丁歌曲電台熱播。
Supernatural這張專輯接著推出的單曲是"Maria, Maria"，這首歌是和The Product
G&B合作的，寫曲與監製都有Wyclef Jean的協助，後來獲得10週排行榜軍。
對Supernatural及"Smooth"的成功，Carlos在ABC電台的訪問中表示﹕錄音在優雅的氣氛下完成，我可清楚的表達，不管你信上帝、宇宙、天使…甚麼，他們協力給你一個存在的質量。
Santana的Supernatural Now Tour演唱會慶祝Supernatural專輯推出20週年和合唱團50週年紀念，演唱會六月20從加州Irvine起跑，Carlos表示:希望他的Supernatural專輯工作夥伴能在巡演中客串演出。
Carlos Santana 1947年出生於墨西哥，是著名的拉丁搖滾吉他手，在加州舊金山組成Santana樂團，團員主唱吉他手Gregg Rolie後來自組Journey合唱團，1970年的"Black
Magic Woman"使Santana成名，但1999年的Supernatural這張專輯讓他再創音樂事業高峰。

- Smooth ft. Rob Thomas
Songwriters: Robert Thomas / Itaal Shur
Man,
it's a hot one
Like
seven inches from the midday sun
Well,
I hear you whispering in the words, to melt everyone
But
you stay so cool
My
muñequita, my Spanish Harlem, Mona Lisa
You're
my reason for reason
The
step in my groove
And
if you said this life ain't good enough
I
would give my world to lift you up
I
could change my life to better suit your mood
Because
you're so smooth
And
it's just like the ocean under the moon
Oh,
it's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You
got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Give
me your heart, make it real or else forget about it
But
I'll tell you one thing
If
you would leave it would be a crying shame
In
every breath and every word
I
hear your name calling me out
Out
from the barrio
You
hear my rhythm on your radio
You
feel the turning of the world, so soft and slow
It's
turning you round and round
And
if you said this life ain't good enough
I
would give my world to lift you up
I
could change my life to better suit your mood
Because
you're so smooth
And
it's just like the ocean under the moon
Oh,
it's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You
got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Give
me your heart, make it real or else forget about it
And
it's just like the ocean under the moon
Oh,
it's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You
got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Give
me your heart, make it real or else forget about it
Or
else forget about it
Or
else forget about it
Let's
not forget about it
Give
me your heart, make it real
Let's
not forget about it
Let's
not forget about it
Let's
not forget about it
Let's
not forget about it
Let's
not forget about it
