Summary quotation from Wikipedia:
Smooth is a collaboration between Latin rock band Santana and Rob Thomas of the rock group Matchbox Twenty. The song was written by Thomas and Itaal Shur, sung by Thomas, produced by Matt Serletic and won three Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals.
Concept and background
Smooth was originally conceived by Shur as a song called Room 17. The lyrics were stripped off and the track was given to Thomas, who re-wrote the lyrics and melody and re-titled it Smooth, then recorded the song as a demo to play for Santana. This song was originally written to describe an acquaintance of Thomas, John Bizanes, who is very smooth. However, over time credit for this inspiration has been given to Thomas wife, Marisol Maldonado. After hearing the song, Santana decided to have Thomas record the final version.[1] Matt Serletic (who produced Matchbox Twentys debut album Yourself or Someone Like You) produced the song and it was released from Santanas album Supernatural.
Thomas wrote Smooth for his wife, Marisol Maldonado. He stated in interviews that the lyric My Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa was inspired by the 1972 Elton John song Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters, which includes references to the 1961 Ben E. King song Spanish Harlem.
