Background[edit]

'Soul Sacrifice' was one of Santana's earliest compositions. Carlos Santana recalled the group wrote it when bassist David Brown joined.^[2] It has been described as 'a perfect example of the amalgam of old-world guaguanco rhythms and strictly American licks' and includes 'interplay between Santana and [Gregg] Rolie.. hammered home by [Mike] Carabello's and [Jose 'Chepito'] Areas' congas and the sinuous drums and bass of [Mike] Shrieve and Brown'.^[2]

Before its release on their album, Santana, then a largely unknown band, performed 'Soul Sacrifice' as their closing number at Woodstock. 'They were the only act to play without a record; it was unparalleled. Santana went from Woodstock to being in global demand almost overnight'.^[2] In several interviews, Santana recalled experiencing the effects of psychedelics during the performance, but got it together for the finale.^[1] 'By the time we got to 'Soul Sacrifice', I had come back from a pretty intense journey. Ultimately, I felt we had plugged in to a whole lot of hearts at Woodstock'.^[3]

The Woodstock soundtrack album reached number one in the Billboard Top LPs album chart;^[4] helped by the publicity generated by their Woodstock performance of 'Soul Sacrifice', Santana's debut album reached number four.^[5]
