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.
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.
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.
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!
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!!
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.
