Carlos Santana had just dropped his new collaboration with Steve Winwood on a cover of Procol Harum’s 1967 classic, “A Whiter Shade Of Pale.” The new track is featured on Santana’s upcoming Blessings And Miracles album, set for release on October 15th.
Santana recalled how back in 2017, he and Winwood were sharing a bill at a concert at London’s Hyde Park, and suggested they record the song: “I said, ‘You and I have to do it, but we’re going to do it very sexy, like a Hare Krishna but with congas.’ I played the components in his ear, and he said, ‘I hear it, Carlos. You’re right.’ So that’s what we did — it’s Santana, Cuban, Puerto Rican in an African way. And man, you talk about sexy. Steve’s voice is so sexy and beautiful.”
