Itaal was in Brazil when he heard through his manager Suzanne Hilleary that Santana was looking for material. The record was closing and a single was needed, timing was of the essence. Suzanne delivered the track "Room 17"the meeting at Arista Records with Carlos Santana's A&R Pete Ganbarg, Shur had written and recorded a whole song with a different lyric and hook. Ganbarg said 'I love the track but the song's a little too sexual,' and he hooked me up with Rob Thomas who actually lived four blocks away from me in Soho. Rob heard the track and came up with the verse but he didn't have a chorus."In the meantime, I came up with 'Give me the ocean/Give me the moon' which eventually after six rewrites with Rob turned into 'Just like the ocean/Under the moon.' We got along famously and we just worked really easily. The first line went through a number of rewrites - all prepositional changes. We didn't know who was going to sing it; they thought maybe George Michael, but Rob ended up recording it." With the undeniable success of "Smooth," Shur's pride is evident. "I'm glad my hits have both been in a very musical vein," he says, "not in a corny, silly way. Both 'Smooth' and 'Ascension' are live-oriented, groovy songs. The whole thing about 'Smooth' - I love it. There was no formula: it happened. It was like God - I had no control over it."
