Peter Green, since he wrote it.

Santana is a great cover version, tho

I'm really liking the original versions vibe from Fleetwood Mac . . .

Wow!  Black Magic Woman has been one of my all-time favorites since it came out on the radio via Santana.  Thanks for educating me that Peter Greene et al originally recorded it.

I like the Santana version better, and a lot of my own playing style is modelled after this particular song....and I've been playing for 47 years...) not that you could tell it from listening to me... LOL)

Bob Oister- You're right-  the memories come flying right back every time I hear it.

Cool thread!

Santana. Carlos Santana is the entire reason I ever wanted to pick up a guitar.

Peter Green in his heyday for me.

Same ... along with "Oh Well", in both parts!

I first heard the song done by a cover band at the Frankfurt American Youth Activities teen club around '71 or '72.
So, I'm going with Orange Wedge.
