It depends on your definition of the word "come-back". To me, it applies to someone who has left the music business for a time, then re-enters at a later date, not someone who suddenly releases a "good" album. > No doubt...Clive Davis @ Arista knows what he's doing and has the > connections.

Lauren Hill's contribution was written by Lauren Hill. Dave Matthew's song was co-written by Matthews and Santana. Everlast's song was written by Everlast. Wyclef Jean's song was co-written by Wyclef Jean and Santana (among others). Eagle-Eye Cherry's song was written by Eagle-Eye Cherry. If not for those artists, there would have been no album. It may have been released as a "Santana" album, but he contributed to the writing of only 7 of the 13 songs.
