does Carlos Santana ever sing? I really like his music, and i must say, he has the best featured artists around, but I don't think i've ever heard him sing at all. Does he ever sing?

No. He only plays the guitar.

that was ever so enlightening, thank you

but he still rocks (more enlightening words of wizdom)

but he cant be completely mute, can he???

his guitar does the singing for him so don't hate.

He has a tendency to move his lips in time with hitting certain notes... but I don't honestly remember seeing him standing around a microphone stand while he plays...

Nope, he sings as well.

Quick check of the few Santana records I own... credited with vocals on the LPs 'The Swing Of Delight' and 'Oneness'. Probably also sings on the 'Moonflower' and 'Love Devotion Surrender' LPs.

what songs? so i can dogpile to hear what he sounds like

ok, i'll have to check that out, it makes sense with cd credits, sooooo we have a winner, he SINGS, albeit rarely
*snip*

or not, it appears Grampus has changed his mind

Nah: I had just made a slight mistake in the which exact track he can be heard doing lead vocals on: try Your Touch off the Milagro LP.

he sounds quite quite spanish. as can be expected

Santana is a very overrated guitarist IMO.

Santana sucks.

I thought he did sing :confused:

Kinda depends on how you definel 'singing' :p

Go back to the early days of Santana (Woodstock, Abraxas, etc) and yes, he sang the album tracks.



But I would agree that letting somone else do the singing for him was the best move he ever made in his career.
