Eric was certainly impressed and he invited young Neal to play with him on the Derek and the Dominos at the Berkeley shows. The shows were so good that Eric asked him to join the band. He declined and went on to be a key member in Santana and later formed Journey.

The lyrics to Santana feat. Eric Clapton's song The Calling express an urgent plea for people to listen and unite. The repetition of "people, people, people" emphasizes the need for individuals to come together and recognize their shared humanity. The refrain of "hear me calling" can be interpreted as a call for action, imploring others to acknowledge the issues at hand and work towards a solution.
The verses are short and simple, repeating "one love" and "Lord, got a mother for love," which can be interpreted as a reference to a universal love that binds all people together, and a recognition of the importance of nurturing and caring for one another. The overall tone of the song is one of hope and a belief in the power of unity to overcome barriers.
The guitar work by both Santana and Clapton add to the emotional depth of the lyrics, with their solos expressing the urgency of the message. This song is a powerful reminder that we are all connected, and that we have a responsibility to each other as fellow human beings.

I think this is one of the best if not the best duet by two of the world's best Rock Guitarists of their era. I just wish there was a Video of this performance ... The two of them working off each other is really priceless in the audio.
Put your earphones on... close your eyes .... here ya go... bye bye

You must check out eyesight to the blind / why does love got to be sad? from Crossroads Live in the 70s. 24 minutes of these two monsters going at it. So so good. The percussion work is off the hook as well.
