Seems like everybody's waitin' for the new change to come around
Come around, come around, come around
Waitin' for the day when the king, queen of shows singing 'round
Singing' round, singing round, singing round
Singing round, singing round for everyone
Yeah do it
You can understand everything to share
Let your spirits dance brothers everywhere
Let your head be free
Turn the wisdom key
Find it naturally
See you're lucky to be
If you're sad just spin around and round and round
Do it
Yes just hold me baby
Something on your back
Lay it down
Lay it down, lay it down, lay it down
Don't you know honey maybe
You're like my childless hometown
This ole town, this ole town, this ole town
Sing it now
Time for you to all get down
Yeah do it
Get ready, get ready, get ready, get ready

Spinnin' round and round and round

Yeah the "sound [is] spinnin' round and round and round" because it seems to be lifted from James Brown "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag"? Anyone else hear that?

THAT'S right! Da horns are da funk!
Never knew that.
When I was 18 I worked in a cafeteria in an all girls dorm (yes we had those back then) and this was the only decent song on the juke box. I played it about 200 times while I danced with a mop at the end of dinner service. Good memories of the perks of working in that dorm...
Damn that album cover is really something
These lyrics seem a bit different
Seems like everybody's waiting
For a new change to come around.
Come around, come around, come around.
Waiting for the day when the
King, Queen of soul sing around
Sing around, sing around, sing around, sing around.

Dig this sound It¨ªs been round and round and round.
You get out your cold feet ba-by
Something on your back lay it down.
Lay it down, lay it down, lay it down.
Don't you know honey maybe your light might shine this whole town
This whole town, this whole town, this whole town, sing around.
Time for you to all get down

Airdrumming, eh?
Would make for a great set with Chicago "I'm a Man" (at least at the end), some Krupa era "Sing, Sing, Sing", maybe even some Porcupine Tree with Harrison pounding the skins. If you're feeling daring, could add in "Rumba Mama" from Weather Reports' "Heavy Weather" album.

Yeah, funny, kurbo. As if you've listened to more from them than anything past 1972.
Santana IV was released a few weeks ago. Far from dead or even debilitated for sure.
Not many people know that Santana actually died in 1971.
They've just been releasing the same song ever since.

Hilarious! Stingray I don't know in which part of Europe you reside but I just can't shake this mental image of you as a little boy on the floor of your Bristol living room playing with your Matchbox cars while your father leafs through his prized Cliff Richard album collection.
Is this even close?
Pretty sure he's not English, given some of his awkward grammar and word choices. I'd guess he's German—an unusually blunt and abrasive one, even for that country.
I don't agree with some (many?) of your opinions, Stingray, but you are entertaining.
A lot of RPers dismiss Santana quite firmly. I've often wondered why his work from circa-Abraxas until the last few albums didn't get much attention in the US. Maybe he was putting out the same stuff over and over...
Cliff Richard...spare me. Back around '87 I saw him in a musical in London called "Time." Massively overhyped pseudo-sci-fi dreck. Laurence Olivier had a recurring role as a large floating head—they filmed his performance beforehand and just projected the recording onto a head placed above the stage from time to time. He was the most memorable bit!
The applause at the end of the show was pretty tepid...until it was Larry's turn to bow. Olivier was pretty ill at the time with myasthenia gravis, so his pre-filmed projection just nodded and blinked in predicted acknowledgment of applause, but the audience gave him a standing O.

Snappy little tune I used to jam to in college when the vinyl first came out.
This is when Santana was at his best and had a long way to go before he later became redundantly repetitive. Plus, the influence the Herb Alpert had on him is pretty apparent here with all the brass in the background and the latin/jazz/jive beats.

Well Stingray doesn't what the f he speaks of. Rubbish. Rubbish of an opinion, perhaps. As for Sinister Dexter thinking this was Spencer Davis — I don't hear no Stevie Winwood vocal here, and no one but no one plays a guitar like that. Thanks for listening.
I had no idea this was Santana! I always thought it was the Spencer Davis Group, because it sounds a lot like "I'm a Man."

OMG! Reminds me of a time in Nakhon Phanom, Thailand, sitting in some disgusting little riverside bar and whore house listening to a music group play "Smoke on the Water" which came out as "Smack-ooo onda wattar". Meanwhile there was a war going on less than a mile away across the Mekong River where there WAS smoke on the water.
Okay, I thought I'd posted this, but apparently not... I remember back in the 70's (and I couldn't pinpoint a specific year because when one lives in a state where gambling and prostitution is legal and kids are allowed in the casinos to watch the floor shows, time really means very little) I was sitting in the Commercial Hotel Casino showroom, and this young group of women got onstage. They were called the Dae-Han Sisters, from Korea, I think, and they performed this song, with drums, guitars, and some amazing choreography. I was totally dazzled.
Much later, after I'd made the acquaintance of a radio station owner (who shall forever be referred to as "Baby Huey" for reasons best not disclosed here) I was informed by him that there was NO WAY the Dae-Han Sisters could have done that song. Of course, Baby Huey was from Californja and therefore knew everything, so my experience apparently did not happen.
I still can't hear this song without thinking of that smoky casino and those very amazing singer/dancer/musicians who opened their show with "Everybody's Everything." They were in town for a week, and I paid the cover charge every night to see them. Except, apparently, it was all a hallucination.

I enjoy every note.
Amazing. Like some with The Beach Boys' Sail on Sailor, I had no idea this was Santana, I'd never looked. As God is my witness, I finally did and I truly expected to see that the Artist was Sly and the Family Stone. Oy.

I thoroughly enjoy Stingray's comments. I usually reply to them with a simple, "Stingray!". I keep hoping that will catch on.

A wee bit of googling certainly puts credence to the "theory" that the Dae Han sisters were in Vegas back in the day. I used to like Baby Huey, but now I think he's a jerk.

If your ever at a loss as to what to play on your stereo reach for any Santana album and that should do the trick.

LOL!
That's too bad. Some of Zappa's more jazzy numbers are amazing. Had the privilege of seeing him live at University of British Columbia (UBC) campus in 1975. Just after he and crew had to drop their drawers at the border.
Seems like there were a lot of us dropping their drawers at the Canada/US border in those days....

I hate to say it but you wouldn't be giving the Tower of Power 8 if Santana wasn't there. It's a combined effort. Everyone feeds off one another.
Its amazing how many people can't stand Santana but everyone wants to play with him. What's missing here?

The thing that makes Santana different is not so much Carlos' guitar but the percusion section. That clip from the Woodstock movie still gives me chills after watching it a dozen time.

thank you Dave_Mack! i KNEW there was a reason this was HIP!
Santana's first 3 albums all go on my list of 50 best ever...
The guy singing here also played keyboards and went on to be a founder of Journey.

edit: nope. Solid 6, maybe 7.
I think I actually had this album and didn't realize it was Santana.

OMG, I have heard this song a hundred times, and never realized it was Santana. And I call myself a Santana fan...shame on me. (I thought this was some R&B band, or (as mentioned in an earlier post) Tower of Power). :oops:

I don't believe it! Santana! And it's good! This must be one of the few songs of his that doesn't use that Black Magic Woman template.

Anyone who thinks this song doesn't rock....
they must have two numb feet.
Makes me want to go bang on my drum.
