matchbox twenty (originally Matchbox 20) is a rock band from Orlando, Florida, who have sold in excess of 37 million albums worldwide. The current members of the band are Rob Thomas, vocals; Brian Yale, bass; Paul Doucette, drums; and Kyle Cook, lead guitar. Thomas, Yale and Doucette played in the Orlando, Florida, band Tabitha's Secret before splitting apart to form Matchbox 20 with Cook and rhythm guitarist Adam Gaynor.
Matchbox 20 released their first album, yourself or someone like you in 1996. While their first single, "Long Day", was a rock radio-only smash, the album soon spun off several Top 40 hit singles throughout 1997 and 1998, including "Push", "3 A.M.", "Real World" and "Back 2 Good". The album eventually went on to sell over 12 million copies in the US alone, earning diamond status.
Before recording their next album, Itaal Shur, Carlos Santana and Thomas wrote a song for Santana's comeback album, Supernatural, on which Thomas sang lead vocals. The song, "Smooth", became the album's lead single and a gigantic hit in 1999; Shur, Thomas and Santana earned several Grammys for writing "Smooth".
