Jose Feliciano (Official Thread)

[gguerra]

I couldn't find a thread on this guy so here it goes.. He is great guitarist and vocalist IMO and greatly underrated. And not to mention he is blind. I don't know of too many blind guitar virtuosos. Only one comes to mind and that would be the late Jeff Healy RIP.. He started in the 60's and is still going but was great in the 70's so I placed it here.

He has a large body of original work but for rock fans here are some cover tunes.

Re: Jose Feliciano

I always felt guilty for liking his cover of Light my Fire..but, hey...the guy is great.

Re: Jose Feliciano

Jose is a class act. I love his Light My Fire version. Here's a good one of the classic "Sunny".

Jose Feliciano - Malagueña

The most memorable one for me. Really great Spanish guitar & horns here.

WLS Chicago always played this one around x-mas time.

Here's Jose's theme song for the 70s sitcom "Chico and The Man".

^ Can't believe I forgot that one. So many 70's TV themes in the top 40 (not sure about this one though).
