In 1969, when José Feliciano aroused the American peoples anger by singing live a soul version of "The Star-Spangled Banner", he assured himself the reputation as one of the most successful cover-version performers of all time. He even carried off two Grammy awards for his soul version of the Doors number "Light My Fire", which is found on this recording. But Feliciano! does not merely excel for its hits from the Sixties such as "California Dreamin'", "Sunny" and three smash hits from the Beatles. It also reveals this entertainer's stupendous musicianship on the acoustic guitar and pampers the listener with creamy string arrangements and a thrilling Latino drive.
