Yes, I knew that the song was written by Peter Green, but I am not sure that changes anything. "Ownership" of a song is not always granted to the author or the first person to perform it. The songs "Cocaine" and "After Midnight" come to mind. I really like the J.J. Cale originals, but they are never going to supplant Clapton's versions.I guess you are asking the question at a more personal level, while I was thinking more in terms of public opinion.
I don't want to harp on the Barber thing, we'll just have to agree to disagree on her. I will say this. If you have never had the opportunity to see Santana live, you are missing out. I caught them a couple of times in my college years, and their army of percussionists generate power on stage that just can't be recreated by a stereo.
