Tony Lindsay is a vocalist best known as the longest-tenured lead singer of Santana.

Biography
Tony Lindsay grew up in Kingston, New York and began performing there as an 8-year-old in an a cappella group. Lindsay studied at Albany State University, an hour up the Hudson from his hometown, and spent eight years in Albany, the state's capital. Lindsay moved to San Jose, California in 1980 and has lived in the San Francisco Bay Area since.[4]
Career
Upon arriving in California, Lindsay took a job at Guitar Center in downtown San Jose and sold suits at a department store. He performed with the hard working Danny Hull Quintet at local bars and restaurants. The band evolved into Spang-a-Lang, a band with which Lindsay continues to perform.[4]
Former Tower of Power keyboard player Chester Thompson and drummer Ron E. Beck recruited Lindsay to audition for Carlos Santana at his San Rafael studio. Overnight, Lindsay went from playing small clubs to amphitheaters around the world.[4]
Lindsay’s first album with Santana was 1992’s “Milagro,” the first Santana studio album that failed to reach Billboard’s top 100. [5] Lindsay sang on the tracks "Life Is for Living" and "Make Somebody Happy.
Lindsay was Santana’s principal vocalist during the release of Supernatural, one of the best selling recordings of all time, with more than 30 million copies sold worldwide, including 15 million copies in the United States. He is credited on five of the album’s tracks: "(Da Le) Yaleo," "Migra," "Primavera," "The Calling" and "Africa Bamba"
Lindsay was let go from the band in 2004 [5] but by 2007 was performing with Santana again. [6] He performed continuously with the band through 2015.
Since leaving Santana, Lindsay has maintained an active schedule of dates at Bay Area clubs, international performances and releases of recorded original material.
Style and technique
“Tony Lindsey is one of the world’s great singers,” Grammy-winning producer Narada Michael Walden has been quoted as saying. “We know and we revere Donny Hathaway, Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles. Tony Lindsay is on par with all three of those.” [7]
Legacy and influence
Lindsay has collaborated and performed with artists such as Tevin Campbell, O'Jays, Al Jarreau, Steve Winwood, Johnny Gill, Teddy Pendergrass, Aretha Franklin and Lou Rawls. He performed a duet with Angela Bofill and the New York Philharmonic Orchestra at New York’s Avery Fischer Hall in 1993. His voice can also be heard on Mazda, Hotwheels, Dreyer’s Ice Cream and Wendy’s commercials as well as on the ”Adventures of Kanga Roddy.“[8]
