I kind of figured that with the sunglasses. That or he was higher than a kite and they didn't want people to see his eyes. I went with the blind angle but thanks for confirming. It's kind of like Stevie Wonder and others who wear sunglasses.
@@financeabcs Yeah my daughter goes to a Spanish/English school and they learned that. We figured her mom speaks it fluently she can learn to do it also. At least her mom can help her at home since her mom was born in Mexico.
Thanks Jimmy for exposing a true legend to new generations! He is playing with his two sons in the bass and the drums and José is performing the “cuatro” the Puerto Rico’s national music instrument.
Jose Feliciano's career was almost destroyed because he dared to sing the national anthem at a World Series game in his own style. People do it all the time now, but Jose was the first and he paid a steep price for it. Radio stations refused to play his songs and he was basically blacklisted. Jose went back to his native Island continued a career playing old time Puerto Rican ballads. After many years, he released this song and the rest is history. Great man, great singer/ songwriter.
No conocía ese hecho, una pena. De todos modos José Feliciano es mundialmente conocido como el gran artista que es. Compositor, cantante,, emoción y sentimiento, guitarrista maracilloso sentido del espectáculo y buen humor, todo lo hace bien!!!

José una super estrella, muy humilde, nacido en Puerto Rico,y no solo feliz Navidad lo llevo a la fama, son muchas canciones además ,es un virtuosos tocando guitarra y tiene grabaciones tocando la guitarra, también ha incursionado en el jazz, grabó una canción tema para una serie de TV que se llamo Chico And The Man, para los año 70, antes del Cross over de Gloria Estefan y Ricky Martin, ya Feliciano era un cantante reconocido tanto en ingles como en español felicidades
Too bad it's only played for a few weeks a year. But I cheat, I'll play this in the summer, along with my other favorite, John Lennon's "Happy Christmas" ⛪🎄🕯️🎅
Now it is really appreciated and praised. He played and sang it while feeling some disillusionment with the situation at that time (1968) so it was his way of expressing it. Who could blame him ? MLK & RFK murdered, riots, Vietnam, confrontations, etc. Those who criticized him must have been living in FantasyLand, turning their back to reality. To me that version is sad but also beautiful.
@@garychambers5850 Gary, look for José Feliciano / Star Spangled Banner, here in TH-cam. His sad interpretation of the national anthem was a reflection of the turmoil and chaos of the times but a lot of people in denial looked the other way. José was blacklisted for gigs and personal appearances.
This is the first time I've smiled all week. I've been so overwhelmed and apathetic at the same time because. . . I mean, guess lol, and it's been exhausting, especially lately. There's just something so genuinely GOOD about this video. I needed it.
OMG. Love this guy. I saw him perform at a small venue 25-30? Years ago at an English Pub in Marietta? Californian he doesn’t age and voice still excellent. It’s not Christmas without Jose’s song and tamales!
This is sooo hip! Jose still sounds great! Check out his guitar virtuosity in the 60s and 70s. He also had the funniest Ed Sullivan intro “not only blind, he's also Puerto Rican”
And instead of the guitar he is playing the Puerto Rican "Cuatro", which originally had 4 strings (hence its name) but evolved to what it is today, with five pairs of string producing a robust 1-derful brilliant sound.
Que chulada de canción 🎶 felicidades a Jose Feliciano y a todo el grupo que participó, la mejor versión que he escuchado , se escuchó espectacular.... bravo 👏 y feliz navidad a todos
I loved the song, I love the man...brought a tear to my eye! Wow 50 years already Whew!!!!!!! I remember when it just came out. I was in High school! God BLess you José Feliciano.. And a Very Merry Christmas/ Feliz Navidad to you and all your family! ⛪🎄🕯️🎅
Immense talent! A legend in my time. 🤗 So much heart. Sings the hell out of any song he chooses, original awesome interpretations. He rules! Happy Holidays to all.
In 1973 a friend and I would go to this funky courtyard restaurant on the edge of Tunis Tunisia and every time we entered the proprietor would put on “ Come on baby light fire” blending the memory of Jose Feliciano’s wonderful rendition and warm beautiful Tunisian nights. Gracias por tu hermosa música!
In the early 80s I was living in the City of Orange in California, Feliciano lived few distance from us in Villa Park, it was very common to see him in the small shoping centers taking to people and beeing just a very normal an nice person to all of us, I remember clearly when I first heard Feliz Navidad... Still Today 50 year later I feel the same happines because this song stayed in my heart.
Whoever gives a thumbs down does not know music, they are jealous, possible atheist?, Prejudice?, Why give a thumbs down, just leave or don't even bother visiting this site! Go back to their _Justin Beiber, Katy Perry_ , or _The Kardashians_ site LOL...thats probably their speed.
Awesome version.., and as I Mentioned before "Light My Fire" to me, he does a much better job then the original by "The Doors" Even Robby Krieger, guitarist for the "Doors" who wrote the song says he liked José Feliciano's version better than his. Check it out if you haven't already 👉 th-cam.com/video/7RtTWDv-yWM/w-d-xo.html
Dec. 8, 2020. Thank you Mr. Feliciano. Thank you Jimmy, thank you NBC, for bringing this to another audience. I'm old enought to have heard this song when it was first released and I hope this version (and the video) is available through the end of the year and more so through the rest of my life. BTW Jose, I'm ten years younger than you and I don't look anywhere near as good as you do tonight. Keep On.
Who's here for 2022 Merry Christmas y'all And my wife Carmen and my kids Leslie Ann, Timmy, Ian Christopher, Anibal, Ramoncito,Carmen Maria and Nelo love you all
Every time I would tell people my dad's name they'd ask if this was him... every time I have to explain that nope, another Jose Feliciano. Lol Jose's a common name
❤ Feliz Navidad is our favorite Christmas Carol thanks for sharing God bless you and have a very happy safe holiday we love you from Connecticut♥️🎄🎁🎅❄☃️🎶🎶❤
People don’t realize how legendary he is. His song will be played for ever
A true legend indeed! His singing and guitar playing is amazing!
He was an amazing man. Still ALIVE. This is a true example of who a legendary artist is.
His cover of “California Dreaming” makes my soul cry tears of joy every time.
If you notice Daryl Hall gets Legends to play on this TV show he got Jose to play on the show
wait for the music video to come out
And to think many people don’t even realize Jose feliciano is also blind. True talent.
I learned about him in elementary school. I'm old now and I freaking love this song. I rock out to it every year!!!!
@@sunoosmom4011 he is not only blind but teaching Spanish as well through his song!!!
I kind of figured that with the sunglasses. That or he was higher than a kite and they didn't want people to see his eyes. I went with the blind angle but thanks for confirming. It's kind of like Stevie Wonder and others who wear sunglasses.

His rendition of the star spangled banner was ahead of its time. To think he was booed off the field.

MLK & RFK murdered, riots, Vietnam, confrontations, etc. Those who criticized him must have been living in FantasyLand, turning their back to reality. To me that version is sad but also beautiful.
Why on earth was this man booed off the field? I never heard of this? Now I feel bad. I can feel his sorrow...😟

The best Christmas song Feliz navidad.
The Best, and for my 2nd best is _John Lennon's Happy Christmas/ War is Over_ from 1971.
Orgullo Boricua!! We love you, Jose. Dios te bendiga.
