R.I.P. Freddie Prinze, Sr. (Chico) 😢. That smile and that gift of comedy is still missed (on Tubi now). Jose Feliciano, what a voice. Your musical talent has blessed us over the years (especially at Christmas). ❤
I used to watch Chico and the man every week with my family, love it, I was doing a school report about Freddie Prince back ,in junior high school, I still sing this song at home. Tonight I'm going to sing it at karaoke club.
Loved this song…Loved the show Miss you Freddie…gone way too soon at 21 years of age…the line in the song that goes 🎵..you can see the morning sun if you try🎵 still hits hard remembering Freddie 🙏❤️
Sorry for the delay...Well part of the reason was a case of too much too soon..Remember Freddie died very young..early 20s I believe..Drugs, alcohol , depression, substance abuse, erratic behavior, a very large ego..There was no one to reign him in to control him...But, he was loved by many...When the news broke out about Freddie expiring from a gunshot wound to the head...You can imagine the shock EVERYONE felt...Back then in the 1970s people used to play a deadly game called "Russian Roulette"..sometimes for gambling $$$ or sometimes drunk or sometimes because they wanted all of it to end...Sad but true
Not enough people know about this song, or the young man who starred in the show it was written for. But I remember, RIP Freddie Prinze Sr, I remember you and all the ways you made me and my family laugh and still do, in my heart.
True. I was expecting the audience to go wild when they heard the guitar and vocal intro to Chico and the Man, but nothing. They have no memory of the song or tv show. :(
hopefully this man is finally getting his due. if you were around back then, mid seventies, like me, you surely remember the tv series and the song! i was in my early 20's. it was rough times for me back then. laid off from GM in Flint MI late 1973. i think the tv shows, back then, got me through a very rough time.
LOVE this performance. I have loved this song since it was brand new -- I was in the 4th grade when Chico & The Man was on TV, I lived in L.A. and this song was on radio all over the place for a time. I just LOVED it, and taught myself to play it after a while (I'd been playing guitar since I was 6, and playing professionally for over 35 years now). Jose Feliciano has been a hero of mine since then, and this song is one of my favorites. Just so gorgeous.
Jose is a legendary, multi talented artist. Had the pleasure of seeing him live years ago, in a small club, and halfway through he went on to play some serious Hendrix tunes and after had his guy walk him to the drums where he went on to get down on the drums, he played so many great tunes, and we ended up dancing the night away 👏🏽
He was on top of the world in the 70's and this was part of his success as the show was a big hit , God bless you Jose and thanks for some wonderful music
My Wife and me just saw his performance in Victoria TX this pass weekend on March 26 2022 and it was a awesome .Jose still got LA Voz !!! Listening to him was just like Listening to him back in the late 60s and 70s. If you have the chance to see him ...definitely go.
On this day in 1975 {May 20th} Jose Feliciano was a guest on the nationally syndicated television program, 'The Mike Douglas Show'... Jose didn't have a record on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at the time, but five months earlier on January 19th, 1975 his "Chico and the Man" entered the Top 100 at position #97, the following week it peaked at #96 and that was also it's second and final week on the Top 100... Between 1968 and 2017 the Lares, Puerto Rico native had twelve records on Billboard's Top 100 chart, one made the Top 10, his cover version of the Doors' "Light My Fire"*, it peaked at #3 {for 3 weeks} on August 25th, 1969... His seasonal record "Feliz Navidad" charted four times; #44 in 1970, #70 in 1998, #44 in 2016, and #49 in 2017... José Monserrate Feliciano García will celebrate his 74th birthday this coming September 10th, 2019... * The first week his "Light My Fire" peak at #3, the Doors' original version re-entered the Top 100 at position #96, it stayed on the chart for five more weeks and peaked at #87...
Vejo Sin vergüenza! Looking good!! R.ip Freddie Prinze we still love u. Jose is just pure talent always have always will. Virtuoso guitar player but doesnt always show it off he doesnt need to, its all about the groove with him.
Regarding Chico: Your Correct (About Chico's real name) but some U-tube followers are very young and many may not have known that, No problem... Great song!
People used to say that I looked like Chico went I was in my 20's, but I never really thought so. To prove it, my friend took me to Miami where Chico was staying at a hotel, I walked up to the desk and asked for another room key because mine wasn't working correctly... The attendant gave it to me and said "Chico, I love your show!"
Freddie Prinze Sr, who's son is Freddie Prinze Jr, starred in this beautiful show, it was on once a week and won all these awards, it was the most watched show at the time just before the tragic death of it's star. I will always remember how he made my mother so proud, he stood and still stands for latinos, he set a precedent of sorts and still does for me. He always will.

Why did he kill himself
@ricardodelangel8135 I don't know. He was heavily into drugs and I believe at that time he was going through a break up.
I used to watch Chico and the man every week with my family, love it, I was doing a school report about Freddie Prince back ,in junior high school, I still sing this song at home. Tonight I'm going to sing it at karaoke club.

Me 10 years old in the 70s watching Chico then Sanford and son 😂
Remember you Chico and the Man. God Bless
That song brings back memories growing up in the 70’s what a god given talent 🥲
The entire song is wonderful. The chorus is just beautiful.
Loved this song…Loved the show
Miss you Freddie…gone way too soon at 21 years of age…the line in the song that goes 🎵..you can see the morning sun if you try🎵 still hits hard remembering Freddie 🙏❤️

🎯 ❤️
This song is one of my favorites.
True. I was expecting the audience to go wild when they heard the guitar and vocal intro to Chico and the Man, but nothing. They have no memory of the song or tv show. :(
I've loved this song since I was a child , love you Jose and Freddie .........
I forgot he wrote that theme song for that shoe always loved it
One of my all time favorites

I used to watch "Chico and the Man" so I could hear this song in the opening! It was the first Jose Feliciano song I knew.
Jose is a legendary, multi talented artist.
Had the pleasure of seeing him live years ago, in a small club, and halfway through he went on to play some serious Hendrix tunes and after had his guy walk him to the drums where he went on to get down on the drums,
he played so many great tunes, and we ended up dancing the night away 👏🏽
Thanks Jose. Your music is still very beautiful.
,yesss
Would have been much better, in my opinion, if the keyboard player wasn't so loud. He did not add much to this fine song of Jose Feliciano.
Fantastic song from a great performer!
Jose even makes tuning a guitar sound good! Much love for this man!
You still got Cousin Pepi'.
I would sing along with this song when it came on. 😂👍🏻
I still do its a wonderful song,
He was on top of the world in the 70's and this was part of his success as the show was a big hit , God bless you Jose and thanks for some wonderful music

@@slyspy9819 Thanks for you comments...Sly Spy..I know you definitely would as my wife and I did..

+Al G. his name wasn't really Chico. Who didn't know his name was FREDDIE PRINZE?
Freddie Prinze Sr.

Thank you, George Lopez, I know what you did to get his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, bless you for this, thank you, for me and my mother.
BS story
An out of tune guitar and it still sounds like music! What a performer- Jose is the man!
Also: Adding to my last comment,
I'll go through some old photo of me when I was young (Disco days) and dig-out a photo or two, when I'm not so busy.
Genius..
Imagine this....in heaven someday, Jose and Jaco-Pastorius that is. Then Carlos sneaks on stage...
And Jeff Porcaro.
