JOHN LEE HOOKER and CARLOS SANTANA - THE HEALER

`Me and Carlos Santana got together,' remembers John Lee Hooker. 'He's a man who say, "You heal a lot of people." 

I say, "What d'you mean?" 

He say, "Yeah man, you heal 'em with your voice, and your music, man, is so deep. Well, I got a bunch of music, and it's got no fancy chords, but it's so beautiful." 

I say, "Yeah?" 

He say, "We gonna do this thing. What do you think about we name this 'The Healer'?

" I say, "What?" 

He say, "We name this thing 'The Healer'." 

"That sound good," I said, "but why?" 

He say, "Because you do heal a lot of people, all over the world. People sit there, they listen to you, you soothe they mind, you takes they trouble away from 'em. You says things in your lyrics that really heal they problems. We'll name this `The Healer'. The blues have healed you, it'll heal me."

 I say, "Yeah, that's a good idea." 

We worked on it, me and him and Roy Rogers, my producer . . . I said, "Carlos?" He said, "What?" 

I said, "Man, I feel a groove. Let's do this." 'And the first take it was it. '
