ALEX LIGERTWOOD JOINS VOICES OF CLASSIC ROCK

Alex with the Voices in San Salvador
Alex with the Voices in San Salvador

His voice is recognized literally the world over as the lead vocalist of Santana. For over 16 years with Carlos, Alex Ligertwood provided his unique sound and interpretation on 12 albums. He earned Gold Records for four of those Santana efforts, and scored Top 40 hits with six albums and/or singles. He will now perform those hits live with The Voices of Classic Rock and re-record them as a Member of Rockforever.com.

A native Scottsman, Alex shares Santana's soulful R & B style, which is clearly evident on the Santana hits "Winning" (Zebop), "All I Ever Wanted" (Marathon), and "Hold On" (Shango). His live rendition of the classics like "Black Magic Woman" and "Oye Como Va" scored Gold with Santana's "Sacred Fire: Live In Latin America Album."

In addition to fulfilling the lead vocal duties for Santana on all of these noted Albums, including Marathon, Zebop, and Viva Santana, Alex also co-wrote with Carlos and is Santana's longest tenured rhythm guitar player.

Today Rockforever.com is pleased and proud to announce Alex Ligertwood's signing as the newest Artist-Member of our unqiue company, and the newest member of the Voices of Classic Rock. "We met Alex in one of those 'it's a small world' ways," says Rockforever.com CEO Charlie Schmitt, "Alex is a good friend of both Glenn Hughes and Bobby Kimball and was kind enough join us for a show in El Salvador. There was magic on the stage and a wonderful vibe in the dressing room, as if everyone had known one another and played together for years. Alex is one of those genuinely nice people, with huge talent and big hits. And, he is addicted to golf...so we've got one more in the group who like to fly out early if it means a tee time! Welcome Alex."

Alex Ligertwood's next performance with the Voices of Classic Rock will be on July 4 in Minneapolis, followed by shows in Lima, Peru on July 6 and Bogata, Columbia on July 7.
