Remember Friday when I said that sounds like Chad Kroeger of Nickelback on that song by Santana and you said that I'm totally wrong and its someone from Santanas band. Well it wasnt. At the least it was Alex Band, a singer from the band The Calling. He was recommended by Kroeger to Santana. Kroeger wrote the song and recorded it for Santanas Shaman album. But Band only did it for the video single, Kroeger did the song for the album and would have been on the version we heard at mobil.

This is on Wikipedias bio for Alex Band:

Alex was also featured on a single with legendary guitarist Carlos Santana titled "Why Don't You and I". Originally, Chad Kroeger wrote and sang on "Why Don't You & I" for Santana's Shaman. However, when Arista decided to release the song as a single in Summer 2003, Kroeger's label, Roadrunner, refused permission, citing concerns that Kroeger appearing on a "high-profile single" would compromise the excitement over Nickelback's Fall 2003 release The Long Road. Kroeger is the one that recommended The Calling's Alex Band, another Arista artist, as a replacement for re-recording the single.

I love when you do your "I'm totally right and you are just stupid" thing and make me feel like a moron. Just love it. And I know you will say who the fuck cares to this but I just wanted to get that out there.
