The Meaning Behind Santana's Fleetwood Mac Cover "Black Magic Woman"

“Black Magic Woman” was written by Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac, who first recorded it in 1968. In 1970, Carlos Santana recorded his cover which set the minor blues tune to a clave groove in a medley with “Gypsy Queen”. It is Santana’s cover defined by a guitar solo riding above driving congas and timbales, that is most well-known. “Black Magic Woman” appeared on Santana’s 1971 release, Abraxas, an album with 5 million certified sales as of the year 2000.
