“Smooth” is a well-known song by the Latin rock band Santana and American singer, vocalist from Matchbox Twenty – Rob Thomas. It was released in 1999 as part of Santana’s 17th album “Supernatural”, as well as as a single. Thomas and American composer and musician Itaal Shur are marked as the song’s authors. “Smooth” became the only song to be part of the famous Billboard chart of two end-decades. In general, Billboard calls it (as of 2018) the 2nd most successful song of all time ceding only to Chubby Checker’s “The Twist”. Originally, the song was titled ‘Room 17’ and was dedicated to Thomas’ wife Marisol and meant to be sung by George Michael but it was later re-titled by Santana. “Smooth” has got an impressive list of awards, including three Grammies for Song and Record of Year and Best Pop Collaboration. According to some sources, it is believed that the inspiration for this composition lies in the 1972 song by Elton John “Mona Lisa and Mad Hatters”. None of the cover versions ever overshadowed the widely-loved original.
