One of my favorite videos on the internet! Jose' Feliciano's added SAMBA beat and fine musicianship not only marked an amazing masterpiece in a different style, but further complimented an already gold record hit song, originally written and sang by Bill Withers in his 1971 album, Just a I am. The original emotion set forth from Withers must be noted in his song as it was a world-wide sensation! The song has been covered hundreds of times by many famous musicians.
5 years later and that is still super funny! Thanks, you made me smile. I just stumbled across something I forgot about and loved when I was a little kid in the 70's; that's what brought me here... remember "Chico and the Man? OMG, Freddie Prince, Jack Robertson and a José Feliciano original for the theme song. Arguably his best song really. Shelley Winters & Sammy Davis Jr. plus countless other huge talents appear and the entire show is filmed on a stage in front of a live audience. It's hilarious, still makes me laugh out loud...then you pop up with "if he sang the phonebook" I cracked up. Thought you'd wanna know that 😊
I must admit that first I didn't hear so much of him, just che sara and feliz navidad, but thanks to youtube i learned more about him and i must say he amazes me
This is possibly one of the best treasures of live music ever conserved. Someone should take this recording and clean up the noise a bit... but man... Jose is UNBELIEVABLE!!! So much soul! Just incredible! WOW!
?? Jose now has no the voice he once had and due to some problems due to diabetes he no longer has the speed he once had in playing the guitar and singing for years... but he is still alive and still gives concerts!
Yeah, if I had the $$$ I'd produce it. To me he's the greatest virtuoso guitarist in popular music. I wonder what Bill Withers thought of this rendition.
Lyrics Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone it’s not warm when she’s away ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone and she’s always gone for too long anytime she goes away Wonder this time when she’s gone I wonder where she’s gone to stay ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone and she’s always gone for so long anytime he goes away oh baby yeah Well I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know it Hey I can’t leave that young girl alone right now sunshine when she’s gone yeah Guitar #### Ain’t no sunshine When she’s gone it’s not warm when she’s away ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone and she’s always gone so long anytime she goes away I’ll stay home and play my guitar Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone Only darkness every day Oh babe Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone And she’s always gone so long Anytime she goes away Anytime she goes away anytime she goes away I said at home crying all night long yeah Anytime she goes Away away away away away away yeah yeah anytime she goes oh Away Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
He's received plenty of acclaim, but I still think Feliciano is underrated. GREAT guitarist, terrific singer, an artist inventive and improvisational like nobody's business. This cat's got music in his bones and running through his veins, through and through. Have loved him for 40-plus years.
Between this and Stevie's version with Bill Withers sitting right next to him, can't go wrong, having these monsters do renditions of your song RIP Mr. Withers.
from Jose' Timoteo Sepulveda.......WTF.......Eric Clapton better guitarist than Jose' Feliciano? They must be ON something. Check out Downbeat's guitarist rankings..... I hesitate to say that Rolling Stone is a publication by racists; I don't believe that. Eric Clapton is a great guitarist, but Jose' Feliciano is, by the highly respected publication, Downbeat.....ONE OF THE GREATEST GUITARISTS WHO EVER LIVED! Jose' won the guitar division in which he was entered so many times, that Downbeat finally retired him to their Hall Of Fame.
I'm waiting the upcoming album "Elvis Presley by Jose Feliciano" due for this year, I'm sure will be great.. like only Jose can do with songs by other, and this video is a great examplle!
Recognized as one of world's best or popularity contest approved or not, this guy has guitar skill talents beyond norm when comes to playing guitar. I rarely enjoy covers but always enjoy his! I'm thankful my mom introduced me to his music and will be ever grateful even though I mostly lean towards blues and rock for most favored personal listening preferences, Jose's talent rocks for me always.
has that amount of time truly gone by 40 odd years and i m still in awe voice incomparible and guita h words have little value oh and superbly handsom from a kiwi father of three
This guy is amazing god has definitely made him a super star his voice knocks me out and a genius on the gutuiar misically hands down timeless brother those songs Got a sound nobody can touch gods child
Puerto Rico querido, lo tienes todo; the good, the bad, and the ugly...........Orgullosa de mis raices; el cielo y la tierra que me vio nacer.............
I have a signature model of an acoustic of his my grandmother got for me about 7 or 8 years ago. Buckethead is the main reason I started to play about two years ago, but now that I hear him, i am so happy I kept the guitar.
@MartianSanta ...exactly.. and Bill Withers was guest and plays acoustic guitar, wrote some songs for the Jose Feliciano album "Compartments" in 1973...
Who’s still loving Josè Feliciano 2024 🇵🇷🇺🇸 Top 5 guitarist of all time
Jose.....the pride of Puerto Rico still in Vogue.....his musical genus is forever and than SOME.....2020...&...,,,beyond

One of the great ORIGINALS, THAT REALLY FELT WHAT HE WAS SINGING.
Love this song a so much different from bill withers the original is good too so is his
Your fantastic feliciano
This is possibly one of the best treasures of live music ever conserved. Someone should take this recording and clean up the noise a bit... but man... Jose is UNBELIEVABLE!!! So much soul! Just incredible! WOW!
You think after all these years this would have more views too, but I'm still listening. Greatest cover I've heard of this song.
I would consider it
Great, great man... I've felt the feeling...
Every time without fail: that voice sends true chills down the spine.
Fantastic, Mijo.
i love his emotions!!!!!!!!!!!
Great songs can be carried by many great artists. WOW is this really nice. Makes me want to be dancing.
Jose is unbelievable. no matter what he plays he is a master doing it. God bless this man for his talent.
OUTSTANDING!
This is some seriously good shit!
Very humble human being who took music way past beyond the stratosphere! He deserves so much due credit. 👏🏻👏🏻
Puerto Rican's finest export.
Nigel Cross one of many.
Nice. Amazing the old treasures you can find on UA-cam
Jose has a rare talent for making any song he covers his very own. So different from the original, but still so awesome. A legendary talent.
Only few artists can do that...A TRUE LEGEND..!
😊y las supera men 😮
From Puerto Rico, always and forever Jose Feliciano! Thanks for posting
one of the most talented people on the planet, thank God for this man
I say the same thing, thank God for this man. We love you, Jose.
Sting begs to differ
@@610-n7z Why would Sting differ?
@@610-n7z That was a bad day he had.
wasn't he just
Will forever miss you .😢 Your beautiful songs and voice. Always remembered in my heart . Sweet dreams. Rest in peace. Never forgotten.💖
?? Jose now has no the voice he once had and due to some problems due to diabetes he no longer has the speed he once had in playing the guitar and singing for years... but he is still alive and still gives concerts!
Jose was a Superstar in the 80s ,Up there with the greats 🥀
in late 60s and early 70s in particular was one of most important worldwide pop star
The dogs bollocks! If you don't Jose you know nothing. Around for 45+ years and as good as ever. Excellente.
When, oh when, will American Masters finally do a biography of this fantastic man? I only pray they won't wait till he's gone...
Dama de Tejas, qué será será. Si dios quiera.
it's so sad that he will never see what magic he creates when he performs. He is a bundle of inspiration for me...
I would love to see a movie done on Mr. Feliciano. Outstanding genius
You should get some one to film a movie
Absolutely
Yeah, if I had the $$$ I'd produce it. To me he's the greatest virtuoso guitarist in popular music. I wonder what Bill Withers thought of this rendition.
He is an Angel No Doubt
Love this!
Lyrics
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone it’s not warm when she’s away ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone and she’s always gone for too long anytime she goes away

I'm not Latina, but I loved your comment! This man was always in the background of music in my childhood. Love him!
