Pop/R&B Songs Featuring Spanish Guitar?

What are some recognizable Pop or R&B songs that prominently feature Spanish guitar? (By recognizable I mean songs released as singles that were at least somewhat popular.) An example of what I'm looking for is Toni Braxton's "Un-Break My Heart."
Is Maria Maria (Santana, ft. The Product G&B) too on the nose?

It was never a hit (though arguably it should have been) and the guitar style isn't particularly Spanish but it still seems worthwhile mentioning Gene Clark's post-Byrds recording "For a Spanish Guitar"

So does Classical Gas count? It was a popular song and Spanish guitar is very prominent. It has been covered by Clapton and Mannheim Steamroller

Roy Clark played Malaguena, pretty popular at the time.

Who Are You?, starting at about 2:31. Not exactly prominent, though.
