Did you know this about Carlos?

  • He learned to play the guitar when he was eight-years-old.
  • Became the first Hispanic to win a Grammy for Record of the Year in 2000 when he shared the honor with Matchbox 20 lead singer Rob Thomas for the song Smooth.
  • Says he doesn't even remember giving his (well-received) performance at Woodstock in 1969; with his band not scheduled to appear for several hours, he'd taken a dose of LSD, only to have his band bumped up on the schedule as it was taking effect.
  • He was voted the 90th Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Artist of all time by Rolling Stone.
