About
“Smooth” is a collaboration between Matchbox Twenty frontman Rob Thomas and Latin rock band Santana. Written by Thomas, and Itaal Shur, “Smooth” won three Grammys for “Song of the Year”, “Record of the Year”, and “Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals” in 2000. “Smooth” is a pinnacle of the tail end of the rock era, and a perfect example of a smooth transition from the classic rock sound (Santana) to modern adult contemporary music (Thomas).
