I first heard of him when I grew up in Málaga in the 60s. He sang Windmills of my mind and I bought that 45 rpm recordi it sat on my record player for months.
U right......feels like he was taking with him... most of the favorite songs & people loved his style. I did..... Besides , he had romantics in Spanish.....they were great too. Came to Long Island this past October.....played 'em all
Jose is so soulful. I remember as a kid watching the 1968 World Series between the Tigers and the Cardinals at which he sung his rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. Caused quite a stir back then. But Jose handled it great. He's always been such classy and gracious guy.
My father took me to see him at a coffee shop on Sunset Blvd. in 1958. I was all dressed up as a Beetnick and too young to drive. "Yo quero pasar en California"! Yes! Genius!
Joseʻ mahalo nui loa for all the years of joy you have given me w/ your AMAZING STYLE! so much PASSION...as a guitarist & vocalist you are by far the BEST! I am sorry that you have never gotten the recognition you DESERVE!
Brings the Latin flavor and style to both songs and the result is wonderful takes on two classic songs! Thanks Jose Feliciano. Even Robbie Krieger, who wrote Light my Fire, said it was his favorite cover version.
To live through it as a very young person listening to transister radios and 45's and on the P.A. at the community pool and on American Bandstand and watching Jose in a rare TV performance back then when there were only 3 channels with nothing on to choose from there was still great stuff like this happening. Now, there's plenty to choose from and this holds up to this day against anything in it's path. Time-less. Bravo Jose!!!
Great performance Michael! You and your violinist are incredible together! This was really a treat! Thank you for sharing this link! I had the pleasure of singing with Michael at Il Forno in La Jolla - when they were hosting weekend karaoke back around 1998-2000 or so. He's amazingly talented, great singing voice, incredible tenor sax, fabulous on the guitar, and a great producer. He's an amazing talent. We are so lucky to have him in Southern CA! This is an awesome arrangement! Wow!
A great piece for a great ARTIST. Jose, I know u since long years ago, and I like your music so much as early years... Cuz u're A COMPLETE ONE. SINGER & PLAYER AS WELL. U're SO AMAZIN...
heard were a record producer said to him....jose would you like to see the studio...he said....lady I'd like to see anything bwahaha...talented with a sense of humor very rare....xlent guitar player love him!
To all rock/heavy metal guitarists, with all their toys, fuzzboxes etc. and their hammer ons and pull offs- what would happen if all the toys were taken away, and you had to play each note with no hammer ons and pulloffs? Would you still think that you can play guitar? Think you could match that?
As Jose said once... You need good hands to play good guitar. Him and Paco de Lucia.. (R.I.P...)...have the greatest guitar hands in all guitar history.
What a fabulous performer he is. HIGHLY underrated. His guitar playing is fantastic
No es infravalorado un hombre que ha pisado los grandes escenarios del mundo en los 5 continentes.
This guy doesn’t get the views he truly deserves, an amazing all round artist. Guitar playing is god like....5 ⭐️
No one EVER did it better than this MASTER. You must see him in person. Brings tears to your eyes and then makes you fly with joy. AMAZING.
Merveilleux artiste. Je suis fan depuis très longtemps..j adore.
Amitiés de Biarritz en France
Brilliant singer and player! I love his reinterpretations of songs. Sounds incredible!
There is something magic about this man ! Can't stop lissen to him !
Boricua de pura sepa 🇵🇷🇵🇷
Same here, my friend. Jose is indeed magical. No other word would do.
Great if not one of the greatest musicians of all times. My deepest respect for this amazing man.
I loved him when I was 7. I love him now at 57.
I first heard of him when I grew up in Málaga in the 60s. He sang Windmills of my mind and I bought that 45 rpm recordi it sat on my record player for months.
Myself included !
I've got a few years on you, Kathryn, so I was a teenager when I first had a mad crush on him and his music--and still do.
I sing this song at California haters here in Arizona
I sing this song at California haters here in Arizona
hugely uderrated artist even here in PR
When José covers a song ..he keeps it alive forever ...the one and only ..
If you think about it, it's just possible, that the entire decade of the 1960's is captured in the voice of Jose Feliciano. It's just overwhelming.
U right......feels like he was taking with him... most of the favorite songs & people loved his style. I did..... Besides , he had romantics in Spanish.....they were great too. Came to Long Island this past October.....played 'em all
Gregor Macdonald agreed!!
Many bands & singles playing theirs songs 60s & 70s......but José's style
was matchless....
You got that pretty much right. Jose, The Beach Boys and The Beatles. That’s the whole sound of the the 6Os...
Truely beautiful
One of the masters of guitar, if ever there was one. Total genius.
Chills again listening to him all night long. I wish our music today was just like this!!!!
What a talent, genius! Vastly over looked as a guitarist and vocalist.
The man is pure artistry ...absolute giant... Been my favorite artist since I first heard ..Alive alive O ..back in '71 .
What an incredible talent! Passionate, soulful and inspiring...
Man what a talent. This my favorite song, "Light My Fire"
Jose is so soulful. I remember as a kid watching the 1968 World Series between the Tigers and the Cardinals at which he sung his rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. Caused quite a stir back then. But Jose handled it great. He's always been such classy and gracious guy.
Excellent perfomace, puro talento mis respetos maestro de la música
I always loved his voice.
Sure I knew a couple of his songs but now I'm listening to the rest for the first time. Thank you RUclips!
what an amazing playing and singing style, wonderful!
Such a major talent. The thumbs down people have no clue.
Mi primera vez para verlo sin gafas. Que regalo para nosotros! Tuve un sueno acerca de esta cancion este manana. Que bonito!
I Srbija više od 50 godina slusa ovaj glas i ovu divnu gitaru. Svo postovanje velikom čoveku i umetniku.🖒
INCREDIBLE!! Loveeeeee, Jose always have!! Very talented!!
No question about it. He's a huge talent. I've seen him live.
guapisimo Jose Feliciano, pantalon de cuero negreo, botines, esa melena seductora, y esos hermosos ojos , sorprendente tu cambio de look de los 80
Absolutely an amazing talent...Such a sound that draws you in💛💙💚
An amazing musician and singer
And underrated, despite his obvious greatness.
Troppo bravo 👏

I remember him as a child. I appreciate him so much more now as an adult. :) Thank You JF
And I adore him at 71!!!!!
Saw Jose twice live back in the seventies ,bloody awesome
Brings the Latin flavor and style to both songs and the result is wonderful takes on two classic songs! Thanks Jose Feliciano.
Even Robbie Krieger, who wrote Light my Fire, said it was his favorite cover version.
Remarkable talent! it ,a rare performer who takes other artists songs and just doesn't cover them, he makes them his own!
Saw him in Vegas at Boulder Station years ago with my music partner and we enjoyed that concert more than any we'd seen...
God Bless Senor Feliciano forever!!!!
Great guitarist; superb sui generis voice; dude has music in his bones. LOVE him.
*Ladies & Gentleman the great artist Jose Feliciano.*
So great
LOVE Feliciano. What a great artist.
So underrated it’s sad..what perfection of talent
para mi José Feliciano es el mejor

To all rock/heavy metal guitarists, with all their toys, fuzzboxes etc. and their hammer ons and pull offs- what would happen if all the toys were taken away, and you had to play each note with no hammer ons and pulloffs? Would you still think that you can play guitar? Think you could match that?
As Jose said once... You need good hands to play good guitar. Him and Paco de Lucia.. (R.I.P...)...have the greatest guitar hands in all guitar history.
Well, as a guitar player i can tell you this man has no skill at all, do you think his guitar playing is impressive? If so, you don't have any idea.
It feels good having gone to the same high school as the composer of Light My Fire
Jose made a great cover but he is not the composer of Light My Fire🔥
@@ferdinandgarciaramos4041 That would be Robby Krieger out of West Los Angeles Calif
@@kevindoyle3614 now I understand your comment. You are lucky!
@@ferdinandgarciaramos4041 The Younger brother of John Densmore the drummer of the Doors was in my class in high school.
What a privilege!
hermoso tema
I was the 666th like for this video...right on!
Jose you are amazing to me love you always love Lynetta Poma
What makes you think this is from American Idol? It looks like an early 1980s performance. I'd guess about 1982.
Love his voise...
Feleciano sounds great even though the guitar is not tuned
He made this his own................................
Crear versión, jim liked this
