Since he had joined Santana in 1972, keyboard player Tom Coster had been Carlos Santana's right-hand

man, playing, co-writing, co-producing, and generally taking the place of founding member Greg Rolie.

But Coster left the band in the spring of 1978, to be replaced by keyboardist/guitarist Chris Solberg

and keyboardist Chris Rhyme. Despite the change, the band soldiered on, and with Inner Secrets, they

scored three chart singles: the disco-ish "One Chain (Don't Make No Prison)" (#59), "Stormy" (#32),

and a cover of Buddy Holly's "Well All Right" (#69), done in the Blind Faith arrangement. (There

seems to be a Steve Winwood fixation here. The album also featured a cover of Traffic's "Dealer.")

The singles kept the album on the charts longer than any Santana LP since 1971, but it was still a

minor disappointment after Moonflower, and in retrospect seems like one of the band's more

compromised efforts.
