SANTANA - EVIL WAYS (1969) ROCK LATINO

The first pressings of their debut album, and of single #4-45069, credited an Indiana-based country/blues artist named Jimmy Zack with the songwriting (and his Oleta Publishing Co. with the publishing). Though, to be sure, Zack did write and perform a song called "Evil Ways" in 1960, that was not what Santana recorded.

As for this, I prefer the 45 edit and mix, which differs considerably from on the LP.

P.S. Zack's birth name was Henry Yingst - and his son, who performs with his own blues band, is known as Sonny Yingst. There is some irony - given that the "Evil Ways" Santana recorded (as corrected on later pressings) was actually written by one Sonny Henry, a sideman with Willie Bobo's band (and Bobo, even more ironically, played at one time with Santana).
