Santana has was an avenue named after him as well as a statue of a guitar in the city where he was born (born in Autlán de Navarro, Jalisco, México) to honour him. The family moved from there to Tijuana In La Calonia Libertad, the city on Mexico's border with California, and then San Francisco, USA. Carlos stayed in Tijuana but joined his family in San Francisco later and graduated from James Lick Middle School and Mission High School there.
Most of his musical career has been spent with Santana, the band he formed in San Francisco in 1967. His music underwent large changes in 1973 when he was introduced to the spiritual leader Sri Chinmoy, by fellow guitarist "Mahavishnu" John McLaughlin. After this he adopted the title "Devadip" which he still uses. In 1998 he formed the Milagro Foundation along with his wife Deborah, which supports disadvantaged children. Later Carlos and Deborah divorced, but the Milagro Foundation is still alive and well.
Other huge influences of Carlos Santana are both Miles Davis (with whom he maintained a big personal connection), and John Coltrane, who unfortunately passed away in 1967.

Carlos Santana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like walking 'round with little wings on my shoes
My stomach's filled with the butterflies (ooh) and it's alright
Bouncin' round from cloud to cloud
I got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down
If I said I didn't like it then you'd know I'd lied
Every time I try to talk to you
Turns out that everything I say to you
Comes out wrong and never comes out right
So I'll say 'why don't you and I get together and take on the world and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I say why don't you and I hold each other and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven
Cause without you they're never going to let me in
Whens this fever gonna break?
I think I've handled more than any man can take
I'm like a love-sick puppy chasin' you around
(Ooh)And it's alright
Bouncin round from cloud to cloud
I got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down
If I said I didn't like it then you'd know I'd lied
Every time I try to talk to you
I get tongue-tied
Turns out that everything I say to you
Comes out wrong and never comes out right
So I'll say 'why don't you and I get together and take on the world and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I say why don't you and I hold each other and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven
Cause without you they're never going to let me in
(Only second time through)
And slowly I begin to realize this is never gonna end
Right about the same time you walk by
And I say 'Oh here we go again' oh
Every time I try to talk to you
I get tongue-tied
Turns out that everything I say to you
Comes out wrong and never comes out right
So I'll say 'why don't you and I get together and take on the world and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I say why don't you and I hold each other and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven
Cause without you they're never going to let me in
So I'll say 'why don't you and I get together and take on the world and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I say why don't you and I hold each other and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven
Cause without you they're never going to let me in

@chuckincharlie776
I just saw Nickleback live, and i’m incredibly puzzled about why they are such a trashed on band. Chad sounded literally the exact same as he does on albums and they were incredible live!
@marcusbruns9729
The vast majority of the general population is miserable. They have to shit on stuff others enjoy to try and make them miserable, as well.
@christianspain3015
Carlos Santana had multiple versions of this song with different vocal artists. However, I truly believe Chad's vocals were the best version hands down.
@JanRey526
Here to agree
@hardbully69
AGREE
@forensicsciencefan5645
Agreed! I don't think Alex Band's singing voice, as deep as it seemed FOR HIS PHYISICAL BUILD at the time, holds a candle on Chad Kroeger's here.
@adamcoe
Super mind blowing that the guy who wrote the song sings it the best, who knew
@marcusbruns9729
Chad wrote the song and was originally supposed to be the vocals. An issue with his record label prevented it.
@CharlieBella-ry9li
Chad Kroeger has written a song that has covered just about every event in my life. Now one for the love of my life! Thank you Sir you’re musical genius!
@tamila1082
I love, love, love Chad Kroeger's voice😍😍😍😍😍
