Yes from : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Santana
.... The 1980s
More radio friendly singles followed from Santana the band. "Winning" in 1981 and "Hold On" in 1982 both reached the top twenty.
After his break with Sri Chinmoy, Carlos went into the studio to record another solo album with Keith Olson and legendary R&B producer Jerry Wexler. The 1983 album revisited Carlos' early musical experiences in Tijuana with Bo Diddley's "Who Do You Love" and the title cut, Chuck Berry's "Havana Moon". The album's guests included Booker T. Jones, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Willie Nelson and even his father's mariachi orchestra. Carlos again paid tribute to his early rock roots by doing the film score to "La Bamba", starring Lou Diamond Phillips, which was based on the tragically short life of rock and roll legend Richie Val. . .

Alex Ligertwood, once a singer with Brian Auger's Oblivion Express in the early 70's, is the outstanding vocalist on "Winning". Want it?

Russ Ballard also sang it on 1 of his albums. I have a few of his records. My favorite is BARNET DOGS.
