Black Magic Woman

They wrote it in their early days(pre Nicks/Buckingham) and it might even be a contribution from Peter Green or one of the other original members(they've had something like 15 members). Of course, Santana's cover is the version that became famous. BTW, I was told by my grandfather that the "black magic woman" in the song is actually his guitar: a Gibson Les Paul which is, obviously, black.

This song is assuredly by Fleetwood Mac. Peter Green wrote it for English Rose, he's given songwriting credit on Abraxas, and it hit 37 on the UK Billboard charts. And you'll observe that nowhere on the Santana version does anyone sing "I want you to love me." Santana breaks into Gypsy Queen instead. In any case, this song's a cool little bit of blues/rock mixed up with some Latin music. Pity Green and Spencer had to totally flip out on acid. I've always figured the lyrics were the standard blues nonsense that just sounds nice and bemoans unrequited love..

^Yes. Yes yes yes. This is correct. Yes yes yes yes yes.

deep purple also sings this song!! i think they sang the original black mahic woman
