This is a treasure trove.
Santana: I was in the process of getting out of my contract with PolyGram. I said to my brother Chris Blackwell, “I’m pregnant with a masterpiece and I don’t want to give it to you because I don’t think you have the capacity to deal with this baby. And I know you are going to let me go.’” He said, “Oh,” and that was it.

I'm voting for Gold Digger but Smooth isn't that bad.

There's some truly awful songs in this tournament, many much worse than Smooth.

I'm not saying it's good, but it's kind of bearable.

What a dreadful lyric:

She take my money, when I'm in need
Yeah, she's a triflin' friend indeed
Ooh she's a gold digger, way over time
That digs on me
Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger
(When I'm in need)
But she ain't messin' wit no broke, broke
(She give me money)
Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger
(When I'm in need)
But she ain't messin' wit no broke, broke
(I gotta leave)
Get down girl, go 'head get down
(I gotta leave)
Get down girl, go 'head get down
(I gotta leave)
Get down girl, go 'head get down
(I gotta leave)
Get down girl, go 'head

Also, why is this the censored version? "broke,broke" is clunky.

I'll tell you one thing. If "Smooth" were to lose it'd be a crying shame.
