Feliciano, is one of the most underated musicians, he deserves much more in accolades and recognition then when Christmas rolls around. He had so many songs and classic pieces that he remade in his special way. Anybody that has ever tuned a guitar knows how hard it is what he's doing on the fly...untunning a string for effect and bringing it back up to snuff. It's just amazing! His ear is so highly tuned it more than makes up for his absense of sight. A true ambassador of music.
.and you must go to see here how Jose play blues in The thrill is gone, how play classical in Malaguena, how Jose play jazz in Affirmation, how He play Pop fingerstyle in Billie Jean, how Jose plays latinbolero in La Carcel de Sing Sing,flamenco in DiscoFlam,hard rock in PurpleHaze, how play SpanishOpera in Aranjuez,How He plays folk in Flight of the Bumble Bee and much more, Hard to say who is The Best, sure he is the most incredible and SURE no one of yours has this guitar-range virtuosity ;-)
Saw this on a Special about Crosby and had to see if anyone had posted it on the 'tube. You can really see the fact that Crosby was taken with Feliciano's talent. Loved Crosby calling Jose's talent "brilliant" at the end. (Though I cheer Crosby 'cause he could really improvise. Guess all those years with Hope paid off... lol.) Thanks for posting. Cheers!
WOw. You know a lot of FEliciano. I have been following his work since 2006 heard hundreds of his songs and I was finally able to go to one of his concerts in San Diego last Year, and yet I did not knew about these Purple, and DIsco flam songs. I like also when he plays Mama Don't Allow and Earls Breakdown with Johnny Cash. Take a look
And what do I get on TV now? Judy Bobbysoxer and Clete Pumpkin trying to be the next winner of American Idol that no one will give two shits about a year from now.
I like the Austin Lounge Lizards' version best: Momma don't allow no 'bove-ground nuclear testin' 'round here Momma don't allow no 'bove-ground nuclear testin' 'round here Well WE don't care what Momma don't allow!
well heres the problem with that list. Robert Johnson mostly played slide guitar, which in itself may as well be another instrument. BB played electric 95% of the time, and Andy Mckee plays well.. whatever the hell you call that slapping stuff. personally, i dont like it, but i dont know what people calling. "Tapping" perhaps.
Yeeep...................big time entertainer..............n a great guitar player............ Long time no hear U................hope He is doing great........................................Andres ( NY )
Don José Feliciano un maestro de la música en todo el sentido de la palabra orgullo de Puerto Rico pal mundo

"You get that thing walking and talking" Great comment from Bing!
Bing Cosby is hiarlous. This verison of Mama don't allow no music around here is pretty good. Jose is a great singer.
Two masters of song get together. I like it. Miss their music nowadays.
Gracias por publicar José
The most incredible guitarist of this world..
or perhaps.. Guitarist Jose comes from another planet.....
Dos genios. Feliciano reinventa la forma de tocar la guitarra a cada instante. Increíble. Además toca muchos otros instrumentos diversos.
Incredibly awesome! True musical genius at his best! Feliciano is just amazing!!!
This is freaking incredible! I am outraged that I am JUST discovering this! These men are legends!!!
is that guy blind?
I don't know but they're some dope glasses
Que belleza José Feliciano! Sin duda eres un genio. Tu nombre Feliciano viene de "Feliz" y haces feliz a muchos, Dios te bendiga siempre...
woah, my brain totally melted at 2:32.
anyway, awesome guitarist! amazing technique. oh, and that bing crosby aint to bad either :)
Sounds a little too harsh for Bing, looks as if he's having trouble transitioning.
ese feliciano es un grande con la guitarra!!!
Espectacular video, cada dia me impresiona mas las cosas que uno puede ver por aqui!!!! Saludos desde Venezuela!!
Grande José. Você é maravilhoso!

Well WE don't care what Momma don't allow!
love this
WOW!!
I remember seeing this on TV. What a virtuoso!
Dr Joey what year was this broadcast and what show was it?
I'd be guessing, but I'd say maybe 1968.
Dr Joey wow! Amazing. I imagine things were so different then.
The more things change, the more they remain the same. I was 18 in 68.
