Santana III (officially untitled) was the last album done by the Woodstock-era lineup, and it was also considered by many to be the band's peak commercially and musically, as subsequent releases aimed towards more experimental jazz and Latin music. The album featured two singles, "Everybody's Everything", which hit #12 in October 1971, and "No One To Depend On," a staple in FM radio. This is the first album to feature 15-year-old Neal Schon on guitar. In 1972 he and Gregg Rolie left the band to form Journey.
Santana III was also the last Santana album to hit #1 on the charts until Supernatural in 1999. The original album was re-released in 1998 with live versions of "Batuka", "Jungle Strut", and a previously unreleased song, "Gumbo", recorded at Fillmore West in 1971.
Also known as the LP "Man With Outstretched Hands" - Mon C.
