Santana was signed by CBS Records in 1969. Before releasing their debut album, the band performed at the Woodstock Music and Arts Festival and received high praise. Their first album Santana was released in August, 1969, and was a huge hit. It reached number 4 on the U.S. charts. Their second album, Abraxas, was also well received and remained at the number 1 spot for six weeks. The third album Santana III marked another success for the band by selling 2 million copies and reaching number 1 on the album charts.
