“Black Magic Woman” was written by Peter Green, the founder and original leader of Fleetwood Mac. The song was originally included on Fleetwood Mac's 1969 compilation album 𝘌𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘙𝘰𝘴𝘦, but (obviously) rose to higher fame after Santana’s cover on 𝘈𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘹𝘢𝘴. It’s been said those royalties helped Green live through some real tough times of his own. Peter Green would later join the band to play the hit song at their Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction in 1998. (cont)
