Question
A line from a song popped into my head, (I seem to remember this was the chorus), and I cannot remember title or artist.  ". . . oh oh oh oh oh oh, I am just a mirage".  I remembered I liked the song, but just can't place it. I'm guessing early 70's, (I was in H.S. at that time)
Any help would be much appreciated.  -- Thanks!

Answer
 I think you are probably looking for a song from a 1974 album by Santana called Borboletta.  The name of the song is Mirage.  
  That would have been after Santana was the name of just a  guitarist,  as opposed to when Santana was the name of an entire band.

I can answer general questions about rock era bands, record labels they were on, and names of songs. Often I can tell the name of the record company that released a song, as well as the name of the song, and the year of release based on some of the lyrics. I grew up during the rock era and I am a musician myself, and always read the album and 45 info for production credits as well as lineups. One of the chat rooms I go to is quite amused at my ability to name a song along with it`s year of release and record label. I was also a record collector for years.
