DEF: Santana “Winning”

Mexican guitarist Carlos Santana’s band Santana scored its biggest hits in the early 1970s and between 1999 and 2000, but they did appear on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart five times in the 1980s, with two of those songs reaching the Top 20. On this date in 1981, the first of the band’s two Top 20 hits for the decade — “Winning” — climbed to a peak position of number 17, where it would spend one week. “Winning” by Santana is today’s Daily Eighties Flashback.
