Shout out to Jose Feliciano, George Benson and Nujabes. Unbelievable what happens when great music is allowed to grow, blossom and change forms over time at the hands of real talent.
"Music is allowed to grow, blossom and change forms over time at the hands of real talent."That was a seriously beautiful way to describe sampling and music in general.
@@MadridSoulbrother i found it on the coffee break sessions. my analogue journal on youtube does these 40 mins ish mixes of music from russia, africa, brazil, japan. it's great
I haven't gotten sick of it yet lol. Love that damn show. Episode 11 is such a deep episode and thats the same episode where they play this song we're talking about now, at the end.
lamentablemente los latinos no conocen esta verdadera y brillante faceta musical de José Feliciano. Para ellos es solo un cantante de boleros. Historia triste.
I always listen to this original and Nujabes' version while star gazing. It's an important part of my childhood memories and I'm glad it is because I can relive them on any night, so long as the sky is clear :)
I remember in my grandma house in 2009 that one time this song started playing and i heard it for the first time and reconized it from Nujabes. Years later still gives me chills finding out that Nujabes used a sample from an artist here in Puerto Rico.

I'm pretty late on this, but the guitar in Stray's "Cool Down" and style imitates the strumming pattern of Affirmation, to pay homage to Jose and Nujabes. Counting Stars by Nujabes brought me to Stray, from a comment, and now I'm pretty attached to the music and lore of the game itself.
That is something very common with lots of joints, that is why it is really important to dig into the credits, I love digging into credits booklets where you can discover real jewels.
Caralho eu ouvi essa no jogo do gato é tinha absoluta certeza que já tinha ouvido em algum lugar, graças a Deus um amigo me disse que achava que era daqui, agr posso dormir feliz
After Jose read autobiography of a yogi 🧘♂️ He decided to make a instrumental about it Also the song 🎶 was originally recorded by George benson which He says he’s happy 😃 about it Affirmation was the best instrumental
Yes, true /sad thing. Rca don't gave him a decent support from years. After this in 1976/77 Jose goes to the little label "Private Stock Records" but recorded two great LP
@@GH3K3 Do you mean, Light My Fire? He did a great rendition of that, its a pity that this song isn't on iTunes, I wanted to put it onto my ipad.

Which book do you have? I'm looking at a sheet right now which is how i got here from the new real book and says (as played by George Benson) but composed by JF
There’s several songs composed by José on the real books Destiny sang by Ann Murray is another one. Rain has been recorded in several parts of the world also.

Shame that there aren't any real backing tracks for this classic except an esoteric one for the George Benson version. Guess i'll just use a rhythm machine to cover this with my charango.
recently (finally!) little label "BGO" has re-released this LP in CD, "Just Wanna Rock'n'Roll" (originally in 1975 was RCA). Not the best album of Jose but sure this is a fantastic Tune
this original has MUCH MORE SOUL than that cold jazz version of Benson. A complete soulful arrangments and Jose Feliciano is a superior guitarist with this hard fingerstyle
Every segment of a song nujabes has sampled, literally feel like they exist only for Nujabes, the rest of the song is great, but when the sample comes on, it feels so out of place, meant for something else.

@@ZeranZeran George's Benson's version is pretty different. Very different.
check out the Igor Nazaruk Quartet cover too, it's longer and less acoustic. feels more like a smooth casiopea type vibe

😢
Im happy to have read that.
No one asked
I would have never known this original song existed if it weren't for the legend NUJABES. That track called Counting Stars stays on repeat. RIP

+Rafael Beltran that is an emotional ass episode. made me love the show even more. Made me realize life is too short to not go for what you love.
goodFinMusic most definitely bro. Great artwork and music
What great music Stray has. The devs should be proud
Yup stray brought me here
Wait, Stray has this in its OST ? I haven't picked it up yet, but that's one more reason for me to do it !

Holy shit, I can't believe I'm just now realizing this is the same Jose Feliciano who made Feliz Navidad.
His version of "Light my Fire" (C'mon baby....) is killer
@@doodleedledoo Absolutely, and Minnie sizzles
Wha- no he didn’t that was, wait… (looks it up)

I agree. Counting Stars is one of my favorite songs, but where would it be without Feliciano
Rest in peace Nujabes

That's what I felt when I discovered the guitar from Lady Brown was actually from a song called "Na Sombra da Mangueira" by a Brazilian musician.
@@mayaamano99 the shade of the mango tree?
@@goobert2469 yes, by Luiz Bonfá
@@mayaamano99I know I’m late, but nujabes loved to use Brazilian jazz as samples.
@@allen.9 that's nice! do you know any other Brazilian songs or musicians that influenced Nujabes?

KTLA TV (Los Angeles) used this as their theme song for their news program during the 1970s.

will be great found that! Very 70s icon on music on typical LA sound and i can imagine tv news program
Go count stars.........

***** What's the difference? The guy just said his first name first lol
And this song brought Counting Stars to us. Crazy how it comes full circle isn't it?

I never knew. This is beautiful.
Nujabes is great, but how about a little love for the composer of the song! And he did it wonderfully! Jose is spectacular.
I'm pretty late on this, but the guitar in Stray's "Cool Down" and style imitates the strumming pattern of Affirmation, to pay homage to Jose and Nujabes. Counting Stars by Nujabes brought me to Stray, from a comment, and now I'm pretty attached to the music and lore of the game itself.
I thought that the original was G.B.'s (for years), till I found the original, both are diamonds!
me too
I thought the same thing too, until I seen that the Songwriter was Feliciano, himself!
SJHR 2 ME 2!!! Just found out today 🙃
I thought it was originally by nujabes but then someone linked bensons and then this one.
That is something very common with lots of joints, that is why it is really important to dig into the credits, I love digging into credits booklets where you can discover real jewels.
Came here from Stray, now this is the original song

IT'S HAPPENING
I never knew George Benson's Affirmation was a cover of this.
Koja kompozicija Bravo dear Jose... Grande Maestro..
Perfect.
Wow. The original is WAY better than the sample. This is pure magic.
George Benson's cover of Affirmation is better, imo.
@@Galidorquest for nothing. a bit banal jazz arrangments and not at same level of a fingerstyle player..
rip B-12
jaja que hermoso tema
all version are amazing altho i prefer the smooth hipness of counting stars, this is the original and deffenetealy sounds amazing :)
After Jose read autobiography of a yogi 🧘♂️
He decided to make a instrumental about it
Also the song 🎶 was originally recorded by George benson which
He says he’s happy 😃 about it
Affirmation was the best instrumental
@grantferguson5893: George Benson's was a cover, this is the original.
