I remember those dance mixes!  How funny to think about them now!  Santana had a very minor dance hit in 1985 with a tune called "Say It Again," from their "Beyond Appearances" album.  Anyway, the dance mix extended the song from about 3 minutes to perhaps 7 IIRC, featuring a long percussion break which sounded like something from the Woodstock era Santana (a GOOD thing).  The funny thing was, the break was grafted on by a bunch of studio musicians.  I always thought that was odd, not unlike Chicago bringing in Maynard Ferguson to play a trumpet solo on "Street Player."  Was Lee Loughnane doing his laundry or scoring some blow while they were recording?   Cheesy
