It was 10 years ago when radio stations began playing "Smooth",which was soon followed by the mid-June release of 'Supernatural',one of the biggest comeback albums ever.Let's celebrate the 10th anniversary of this album,which will be re-released on July 14th as a 2-CD Legacy Edition.

"Do You Like The Way" featuring Lauryn Hill and Cee-Lo


"Do You Like The Way" LIVE performance with Lauryn Hill and Cee-Lo

"Primavera"

Holy Shit! It's been 10 years already?!!! Feels like maybe 3 to me. Getting old sucks in terms of time flying by.

But this reminds me I have a still sealed copy sitting around somewhere that I've been meaning to take to the used store to trade in for something I like better.

"Put Your Lights On" with Everlast



Wow,this album is filled with guest artists who seemingly disappeared.Remember Everlast??

There's also a song with Eagle Eye Cherry.

i have bought this album recently , whats on the 2nd cd?
great album imo

Oh FFS!

Does EVERY album have to be re-released in "legacy" edition nowadays?!

overcommercialized imo

with that shit hip hop beat song Maria Maria song meh

"Smooth", which was written by Thomas, was originally meant for George Michael to sing with Santana. After Santana heard Rob's vocals, he insisted that Rob sing the song.

can you say sell out

The tracklist for the Legacy Edition hasn't been revealed yet.I assume it will include a few of the remixes of "Maria,Maria" and "Smooth".A few years before this album,Carlos and his band recorded an album called 'Serpents And Doves' which remains unreleased.I wish they would finally release that entire album as part of this set.

I like these Legacy Edition sets,especially the ones that include alot of previously unreleased material.I wish that Prince's classic albums were re-released this way.

And he sold about 20 million copies to my understanding.

It's a great cd. I still enjoying listening to it even after 10 years. I do prefer Santana's work without all the collaborations, but this one is a keeper.

and radio stations have yet to stop

That was my favorite Wyclef was kickin' ass around then.

I brought this CD around that time and I still haven't heard the whole thing

purplecam said:

I played it TO DEATH!
And saw that tour a few times.
I love me some Carlos!

Yeah,I played this CD to death in 1999/2000.It's one of those albums where,I would pick a favorite song then a few weeks later,I would have a new favorite song...lol...it's a brilliant song cycle.

yeah I admit,"Smooth" and "Maria Maria" are overplayed.

shorttrini said:

Yeah,I heard that story.It might have been interesting with George on lead vocals.When this CD was being recorded,there were alot of rumors about who would appear on it.Prince and Maxwell were even mentioned.

Dewrede said:

a very weak effort. Santana was a guest appeareance on his own damn album!

angel345 said:

it also won 8 Grammys,including Album Of The Year.This was Carlos' own Thriller,lol.I was thrilled to see him getting all this attention and acclaim after so many years of being ignored by the mainstream.

Too bad i really cant stand this album, i understand the re-issue, obviously to pump some cash into the industry, but i cant take this album for very long at all

"Smooth" featuring Rob Thomas
