If the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame can open its doors to a country rooted singer they should be able to recognize the talent and contribution of a Latino soul guitar genius.
He can "eat" any Clapton, Knopfler or Van Morrison and Stevie Wonder in any style for over 50 years ... but no one in the music criticism of newspapers and the music industry ever recognizes his true worth. A career canceled by these people who never understood it.
That was due to decades of racism in the US. Now a day's is quite different. However, that musician, as many others is at the twilight of his career and life. He played many different music stiles.
Unfortunately he is past his prime. It has been said in 10 to 20 years no one is going to remember classic rock music from the 60's and 70's because it won't be getting any air play.
Such a shame he's been so underrated as a musician. He's a phenom...unique, versatile. soulful, and full of passion. You truly see his love for the guitar and music!
Back in March 2006 I had the pleasure of being on stage with B.B. King, Jose Feliciano and Patti LaBelle doing "The Thrill is Gone" and a couple other songs at the Cipriani Ballroom in New York City. Don't know why that video has never been posted as it was a major production. It was a blast and the crowd went crazy as they traded off verses and guitar leads.
Jose Feliciano, one of the most talented musicians of the last 60 years. He was doing English-Spanish crossover before anyone came up with the term. Extremely underrated because of his versatility over the last 20 years. Very proud to call him a compatriota.

Excelente versión; a este impresionante blues de B.B. King le da un toque latino imperdible!!!! Realmente se ve la calidad del artista no sólo por sus obras sino también cuando interpreta temas de otro!!! ¡¡Aplausos de pie y felicitaciones, Sr. José Feliciano!! ¡¡Bravo!!
Deberia escuchar la versión de BBKing increíble interpretación también. José Feliciano un maestro,sentimiento y emoción en esa voz poderosa y ese pulso inspirador y genial al tocar la guitarra.
@@AndrewVOdom Jose's " Thrill is Gone " rendition is not about trying to be better than BB King's. It's more about honoring ' King's legendary music. (José has been clear about this)
Jose was like Johnny Rivers. They were never bothered (burdened?) by a band, so when ready for the big recording or concert they got the very best studio people ,. Yet rock fans love the idea of the ROCK BAND. , even when 3/4's have been replaced. Jose, really impressed Daryl Hall in their "light my fire" and I could tell , her knew he had heard something special.
Johnny canales guitar player bass player josexplain Jose has been the best to me just by listening to him hes a blessing by God Is one of the icons in the world
Jose Is a monster on guitar and voice, he is so underrated. I can't believe why we don't hear much of him. I saw him in the Plaza Olvera in Downtown Los Angeles about 30 yrs ago and I couldn't believe how much talents anyone could have. he plays and sings beautifully..
Such phrasing, such improvisation... 😮 They weren't bullshitting at all when they said that depriving one of one sense enhances the others. Jose Feliciano hears the world through a different set of ears. Bravo, Señor!
Jose puts his stamp on this classic. Awesome, he even plays the octave ala Wes Montgomery. Not too many can even touch that type of versatility, Awesome!
Un ser de otra galaxia increíble como reversiona, moldea, perfecciona y hace una nueva versión de un clásico, gracias maestro por hacerme retroceder a mis días dónde mi padre me llevaba al colegio con tu música y tus acordes de otra dimensión......
Jose Start to do music in coffehouse around USA in early 60s with much blues and folk music like solo vocal and guitar, listen this on Los Angeles Ash Grove in 1964 www.wolfgangs.com/music/jose-feliciano/audio/20053852-8906.html?tid=4857450
Jose has always done his own thing in his own way BRILLIANTLY. Love different covers of classics. This one is awesome.....almost an ensemble. Jose is so humble for his massive talent.
Jose is SO often overlooked. He ranks right up there with the very best ever... Period.. His style, his technical brilliance everything.... One of a kind and so unique.... I can listen to him all day long...
Michael Ullman so agree..if jose could get the medal of freedom..there is no one worthy of his presence to present it to him,,i feel such shame..and i happen to be canadian...🇨🇦🇨🇦
Unbelievable, I would love to hear Jose and BB do this song together. I never heard Jose do the blues before but he's as good as they come, what an artist !
Everything Jose touches is totally unique and soulful. I caught him and his crew in Ocean City Maryland at the Fenwick in in the 80s. Thanks for posting , keep em coming.
Just came across this clip..never seen Jose play electric..no matter what he plays or sings..it speaks to you in many volumes .what a phenomenal human being!!
People speak of the great guitar players, I'm not going to name them here, there are just too many. However, I bet they all wouldnt have hesitated to sit and just watch and listen to this master do his thang.
If I may make a comment - who did this, who did that - who did it better or whatever - does it matter - everyone is different - so, just lean back and enjoy this - and then enjoy other versions too - no need to make a competition of everything - enjoy what's in front of us - does anyone agree? Right now, I'm big time, enjoying this - and will probably later on, some day, enjoy other versions - great, that means I have other enjoyments in front of me! Right now? Great work, Jose!
Amen!!!...absolutely agree!!...world is full of different flavors, colors, styles, etc...appreciate each one for what they bring to the mix and magic that is music....❤😁
Thank you for posting this. An absolutely brilliant version by Jose. Beautifully sung and, of course, marvelous guitar work by one of world's finest guitarists.
THE BEST EVER!!!!! After all these years, the first time I heard him he played Maria Elaina and that was in 1963 and here I am in that same mode at 71 yrs old, haven't missed a beat Jose
I remember as a boy watching in the 60's as Jose played "Flight Of The Bumble Bee", he was lightning, I was enthralled with his playing then and still am. He did some tracks with Darryl Hall (of Hall & Oats) on a series called "Live From Darryl's House", great material.

Love by real musicians who just said worlds class vocals and guitar 🎸 a musicians musician
I agree
Amen
He doesn’t play music he IS music.
He can "eat" any Clapton, Knopfler or Van Morrison and Stevie Wonder in any style for over 50 years ... but no one in the music criticism of newspapers and the music industry ever recognizes his true worth. A career canceled by these people who never understood it.
I feel ya
The Truth
That was due to decades of racism in the US. Now a day's is quite different. However, that musician, as many others is at the twilight of his career and life. He played many different music stiles.
Not Stevie Wonder, he's Great.. but so is Stevie Wonder
Unfortunately he is past his prime. It has been said in 10 to 20 years no one is going to remember classic rock music from the 60's and 70's because it won't be getting any air play.
Fucking unbelievable!
Jose Feliciano is more than a musician and performer. He's a spiritual force that is able to touch our souls......
Amen!
Incredible artist and so brilliant and touchy!
A mi me emociona cuando lo escucho tocar y cantar, es un genio con la guitarra.
Such a shame he's been so underrated as a musician. He's a phenom...unique, versatile. soulful, and full of passion. You truly see his love for the guitar and music!
most people associate him with "Feliz Navidad" sadly
Hear, hear!
I totally agree with you. He is one of the greats. It deserves much more recognition both in Latin and English countries.
He is not underrated. That seems to be every ones by-line in youtube comments.
God bless Jose Feliciano!
Before I even heard of Carlos Santana I was listening to this guy. He still flies under the radar when great musicians are mentioned.
Ídolo.
One of the greater guitarists with a wonderful voice.
I agree.
Jose has a version of "Samba Pa Ti" featuring Carlos Santana.

I’ve always loved this artist even before I knew anything about music. He’s 360° perfection… nails it, always. Bless him. Always my favourite
Not just anyone can pull this off. José demonstrated his world class chops. Soul is soul. Wow.

Do you know if the lead guitarist is Daryl Hall? (Kind of looks like him.)

Jose Feliciano has done it all. He can sing anything. This cover of the B. B. King's classic is superb. His guitar work is amazing.
He's Flamenco, he's Blues, he's pop, he's just Jose. He's a legend.
Sabor!!
He,s Good.....

Good Good Jose Feliciano
NO,The thrill is NOT gone.
Jose can play with anyone, anywhere.

BB King's version is classic but Jose gave it a fabulous breath of vitality that is simply brilliant.

Agree. Its very HOT!
He is an awesome talent. Does anyone know how he learned to play guitar?
🤘😝💯
WTF. I've always known of this guy, but holy shit, I had no idea what a phenomenal guitarist he is
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion & musical taste.
Jose puts his own special stamp on everything he plays. Been loving his music since the 1960s.
Pure Voice…pure Guitar…pure Bass… and …pure saxo👑👑👑👑
This is by far the best rendition of this song I've ever heard
Will never be better than BB, but is good
Deberia escuchar la versión de BBKing increíble interpretación también.

Don’t get carried away: BB’s is still the all-time
Classic . This is a great cover!

His version of "Samba pa ti" makes me weep...so beautiful...
@@randyreynolds3245Especially together with Carlos Santana.
Jose Feliciano is so awesome, what a talent.....the greatest!!
Such phrasing, such improvisation... 😮
They weren't bullshitting at all when they said that depriving one of one sense enhances the others. Jose Feliciano hears the world through a different set of ears. Bravo, Señor!
This cat kicks ass, really dig it. Had no idea he was also a blues man.
Bom demais
Man he can sing and play the blues as good as the legend blues guys. Glorious.
He can do it all! Not a lot of musicians can.
AMAZING.........Saw him play years ago in Lehigh Acres, Florida in some park.
Of late I've been REALLY rediscovering José... such a soulful player/singer... the thrill is still here for me
Puerto Rican and proud...!!!!!
He is the most underrated artist of. All time a vertuoso
You're great Jose. Keep on playing your heart out. This version is great.
You dont hear Jose, you feel him.
Never heard JF’s version. Wow! Voice, soul, rhythm, and chops on that curved beauty he embraces.
I was on R&R in Manila in 73 and saw Jose in concert, something I’ll never forget.... he is the best! Thanks and Blessings!!!
one of the great talents of my generation
I hope you're an oldy, if you're a younger guy and saying that, I'd rethink what you said

Magical rendition..all the time Jose.
Great guitarist and vocalist. I have been a big fan since the late sixties.
Jose should get the Presidential Medal of Freedom he's a National Treasure!
you mean he is as talented as Rush Limbaugh? Wow, hard to believe.
Michael Ullman I know right? The presidential medal of freedom now has as much honor as a dirty diaper.
Michael Ullman so agree..if jose could get the medal of freedom..there is no one worthy of his presence to present it to him,,i feel such shame..and i happen to be canadian...🇨🇦🇨🇦
Gracias Joselito, gracias por tu música, un admirador de tu voz y tú forma de tocar la guitarra, gracias José
Awesome. Loved Jose since I was a little chica-dee and heard him doing "Ain't No Sunshine" on the radio in our ranch house on Rosita Rd. in Pacifica
Fortunately, the Fel ain't gone...😊what a talent, live long and well jose

It's a shame folks only listen to him at Christmas! Badass guitar.
Love you Amigo !! Love your music your voice your playing that guitar. God Bless you and keep you safe for years to come. Viva Jose!!
Insuperable haciendo versiones con su estilo único...un genio agradable.
If I may make a comment - who did this, who did that - who did it better or whatever - does it matter - everyone is different - so, just lean back and enjoy this - and then enjoy other versions too - no need to make a competition of everything - enjoy what's in front of us - does anyone agree? Right now, I'm big time, enjoying this - and will probably later on, some day, enjoy other versions - great, that means I have other enjoyments in front of me! Right now? Great work, Jose!
what ^^^^ said. There is no "better" between Jose and BB. Just two distinct examples of musical genius.
Amen!!!...absolutely agree!!...world is full of different flavors, colors, styles, etc...appreciate each one for what they bring to the mix and magic that is music....❤😁
you're right but his version is so good!
Very well said, I have learned something meaningful today.
It would be a pretty boring place if we were all the same. I agree, enjoy it all.
Thank you for posting this. An absolutely brilliant version by Jose. Beautifully sung and, of course, marvelous guitar work by one of world's finest guitarists.
THE BEST EVER!!!!! After all these years, the first time I heard him he played Maria Elaina and that was in 1963 and here I am in that same mode at 71 yrs old, haven't missed a beat Jose
I remember as a boy watching in the 60's as Jose played "Flight Of The Bumble Bee", he was lightning, I was enthralled with his playing then and still am. He did some tracks with Darryl Hall (of Hall & Oats) on a series called "Live From Darryl's House", great material.
One the best. I am an old man. I love to listen to Jose
