Product Details

Carlos Santana and Ronald Isley share a chemistry rooted in decades of parallel devotion to soul, blues, and the transformative power of live performance. Bringing together two artists whose careers stretch back to the 1960s, this collection of covers reads like a sacred text of Black American music, connecting the dots between Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye, and Muddy Waters through the lens of two musicians who never stopped believing in music as a force for healing.


Led by the legendary Ronald Isley on lead vocals and the album's main producer/arranger Carlos Santana on lead guitar, rhythm guitar, percussion and background vocals, Power of Peace covers songs first made familiar by the Chambers Brothers ("Are You Ready," "Love, Peace, Happiness"), Swamp Dogg ("Total Destruction to Your Mind"), Stevie Wonder ("Higher Ground"), Billie Holiday ("God Bless the Child"), Eddie Kendricks ("Body Talk"), Curtis Mayfield ("Gypsy Woman"), Muddy Waters/Willie Dixon ("I Just Want to Make Love to You"), Dionne Warwick/Jackie DeShannon ("What the World Needs Now is Love Sweet Love"), Marvin Gaye ("Mercy Mercy Me - The Ecology"), Leon Thomas ("Let the Rain Fall on Me") and Sy Miller and Jill Jackson ("Let There Be Peace on Earth"). Power of Peace also premieres a new song, "I Remember," written and sung by Cindy Blackman Santana.
