+1

Although I'm convinced Carlos Santana died in 1971 and has been played by some money-grubbing lookalike ever since.

in all serious, despite hearing all eras of Santana, i see NO reason whatsoever why he should be as popular/respected as he is/was

That's because you ain't got a soul, dooder. Santana at Woodstock was/is a fantastic set, and his first three records broke a lot of ground for Latino jams in white people's ears... All while being "safer" than Eric Burdon and War (who were kinda rocking on a similar route).

so basically he was popular because he was a whiter version of better bands.

No. That would be Eric Burdon. Santana was the real deal. Eric Burdon hired a bunch of Caribbean guys. They were popular because he was in the Animals

I guess it's easy to denigrate the older guys, but no one was doing what Santana was doing. He was a straight up guitar player. He had no flash or charisma or real marketing. He didn't sing. The noise he made with his guitar moved people.

not to mention that Santana was one of the only "rock" bands of that time to convincingly incorporate jazz (and Latin-jazz) influences in music that wasn't explicitly jazz-based as were e.g. Chicago (Transit Authority), Blood Sweat & Tears, the Mothers of Invention, or Soft Machine. Santana started out as an emulation of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac with Latin percussion added, as can be heard on early bootlegs which circulate on the torrent sites. by 1971 they were opening their Last Days of the Fillmore West set with Miles Davis' "In A Silent Way," and the albums from the third one on delved increasingly deeper into jazz ideas, culminating with Carlos' collaborations with Mahavishnu John McLaughlin.
