I was 17 and saw Jose preform at the California state fair in the mid 70"s and was totally blown away. I have seen him preform live 9 times over the years. He is and will always be my all time favorite musician.
Thanks for the video. Jose is one of my favorite musicians and never gets enough credit for his guitar mastery. As a youngster I would see Jose frequently on t.v. and always enjoyed his personality and modest demeanor and then he would sing and play and I would enjoy the performance even more. I am glad he is still healthy and continuing his legacy of excellence.
So glad I grew up listening to Jose. His “Fireworks” album was my favorite. So many great songs on it, including the most beautiful instrumental version of “Yesterday” I’ve ever heard.
Saw him at the Golden Bear Huntington Beach summer of 65 He was young I was 17 Jose was a master Somebody called him a National Treasure that’s a fact ❤️🙏
Chris Robertson, wow! I'm an HB lifer and I was at the Golden Bear on a regular basis. Saw many, many shows there but for whatever reason I never saw Jose there. I've seen Jose all over the place at different venues over the decades, but never in my own backyard. Good for you.
Wow thanks I learned a lot here. All this time enjoying Benson's Affirmation and I had no idea Feliciano I wrote it. Chico and the Man came out when I was seven and I've been a fan since.
I saw him in Zion IL with Blood Sweat & Tears in 1973 or 1974. I was 14 years old. It was my very first concert. After the show we saw him escorted through the lobby while waiting for our ride home.
I just listened to "Alive-Alive-O" again last night. Apart from a somewhat under-rehearsed rhythm section who can't quite seem to keep up with Jose's "on the fly" delivery, it's pretty mind blowing. And it has it all: classical, blues, ballads, folk songs, rhythm and blues, bossa, funk...you name it. "The Comedy Bit" I can do without, but other than that it's a must-have if you're into Jose Feliciano at the height of his powers commercially and technically. And it's brilliantly recorded as live albums go.
One night I went to Wo- Hop in Chinatown NYC I was walking down stairs Three guys were walking up the guy in the middle had sunglasses on this was 3 am that guy was Jose I said hello to Jose Made my night ,
One of fews very genius true artist of past decades, unfortunately never well supported by a costant background on his career and so we miss a true genius. With other hands Jose Feliciano now wil be considerated at same level of artists like Stevie wonder, Elton John, Paul Simon, Eric Clapton etc.. byw Compliments for this video, very completed
My friends and I saw him at the Calle Ocho festival in South Miami in the mid 80s. He was the grandmaster of the festival that year and played an amazing concert for us. Featuring he’s hit songs, plus a remake of Billie Jean, start me up, and purple haze!
So glad to find out that Jose is still with us. I had heard that he was killed in an auto accident some years ago. Just goes to show you can’t believe everything you see on tv . Thank You !!!
I knew he was around in NYC when I was growing up & before I entered the military in 1969. I loved his music, especially Light My fire from Jimmy Hendrix.😊
I saw him at a cafe bar across from the Plaza Cinco Centennial in San Juan in 1994. It a Cafe for art students with them hanging their work. A lot of famous Puetro Rico artists work on those walls.
Jose Feliciano was recording for a "minor league" label, RCA-Victor, but when joining Motown, would go straight to the *pinnacle* of the recording industry in the USA.
Baby Boomers grew up exposed to musicians of extreme talent like Jose’ and host of others. The last 20 years there’s some great talent out there like Billy strings/Rawlings and others-but the conglomerate mainstream machine has pushed sadistic theatrical’ non -talented garbage upon the masses.
Jimmy Hendrix once said of José Feliciano that his fingers were like one set of lungs, no one understood what the hell he meant since Hendrix was in a heroin and LSD stupor.
Jose feliciano was born in Puerto Rico in 1945 He wrote no dogs 🐶 allowed Because he says that would not let his guide dog Trudy He says that arrived in London Town Jose feliciano wrote light my fire 🔥 the doors 🚪 Who wrote destiny He wrote some instrumentals flight of the bumblebee- somewhere over the rainbow- affirmation- yesterday- Feliciano won some Grammy awards for singing His career is so special he did a song Angela Star sprangled star banner Jose did para decir adios la copa rota la carcel de sing sing His albums feliciano!

For all you viewers let me inhance his auto biography....my dad is the first man to teach hose how to play guitar many people do t know the true story......my name is Victor morales my mom was Jose's nanny back in 1950 for those that do t know he failed to mention that part In. His life......since then b4 I was born my dad never tought me.guitar I was self tought unlike Jose which my dad tought him o e part In his life he forgot to mention....
Jose Feliciano is underrated guitarist because he is blind. But for me he is #1 guitar player of all time not hendrix not page not clapton or even not beck or halen.
I was 17 and saw Jose preform at the California state fair in the mid 70"s and was totally blown away. I have seen him preform live 9 times over the years. He is and will always be my all time favorite musician.
Always liked Jose & thought his ability as a singer/player was outstanding.. He's a national treasure.. 👍🙏
Jose was a giant talent. He showed the power of music driven by pure emotion. Bravo Jose !
He still is...
Thanks for the video. Jose is one of my favorite musicians and never gets enough credit for his guitar mastery.

You know Jose was the real deal when Hendrix complimented his guitar playing.
So glad I grew up listening to Jose. His “Fireworks” album was my favorite. So many great songs on it, including the most beautiful instrumental version of “Yesterday” I’ve ever heard.
Im so inspire...

Thank u for such a through history on Feliciano, I loved his music, especially the Latino ones.
My friends and I saw him at the Calle Ocho festival in South Miami in the mid 80s. He was the grandmaster of the festival that year and played an amazing concert for us. Featuring he’s hit songs, plus a remake of Billie Jean, start me up, and purple haze!

I’m glad you know what happened to Jose for real.
That double live lp recorded in England is a phenomenal record!! Love you JOSE!!@
It's one of my personal favorite Jose LP’s.
Yes it's Alive Alive O...live London Palladium...a brilliant masterpiece performance.
I'm not really a fan of Jose, but I do admire his skills because of his blindness. I think a song is exceptionally good... Rain
A Guitar genius., I could never copy his style in his guitar playing which had a classic foundation., really outsatanding .
"You got José Feliciano, you got no complaints!"
Dig your enthusiasm, man. Good video.
He's a great American icon. To be cherished
still going strong
Wow. So glad to know he's alive and well.
Love your channel man - suggestion for you: 'What Happened To Barry McGuire?'
Keep cranking them out Jose you’re a hard-working 👨
❤MY HUSBAND & I SAW JOSE FELICIANO, AT THE SABAN THEATRE, DEC. 17, 2021..AWESOME
WE LUV HIM, SO VERY MUCH.
Love his version of "Light My Fire"
I knew he was around in NYC when I was growing up & before I entered the military in 1969. I loved his music, especially Light My fire from Jimmy Hendrix.😊
Thanks for this great info - some years ago I worked on his house in Connecticut but had no idea how accomplished he is.
My favorite song. Light my fire. He gets a lot of money every year for Christmas song.
Awesome documentary!
Jose & his second wife live here in Connecticut-He's extremely talented!
I saw him at a cafe bar across from the Plaza Cinco Centennial in San Juan in 1994. It a Cafe for art students with them hanging their work. A lot of famous Puetro Rico artists work on those walls.
When he did Light my fire he was now a pop star 👍
Saw him just before COVID at a festival in New Orleans! He was one of the best I have ever seen!
Jose Feliciano was recording for a "minor league" label, RCA-Victor, but when joining Motown, would go straight to the *pinnacle* of the recording industry in the USA.
I love Jose Feleciando!❤
I was wondering WTF happened to him. He just disappeared off the planet.
When Jose started appearing with no sunglasses, it was too freaky for the audience. People didn’t like it.
Jose has always been my idol and even though he doesn't even know who I he will always be my idol 4 the rest of my life
AMAZING GENIUS
His Light My Fire duo with Minnie Ripperton is pure 🔥🔥🔥
Baby Boomers grew up exposed to musicians of extreme talent like Jose’ and host of others. The last 20 years there’s some great talent out there like Billy strings/Rawlings and others-but the conglomerate mainstream machine has pushed sadistic theatrical’ non -talented garbage upon the masses.
Yes, wonderful singing career!👏
Phenomenal legend 👏
He shows up at a Leon Russell show, his end the tour in long beach, ca, it was great fun
The best
Jimmy Hendrix once said of José Feliciano that his fingers were like one set of lungs, no one understood what the hell he meant since Hendrix was in a heroin and LSD stupor.
