Post Description

José was born blind, to humble beginnings on September 10, 1945, in Lares, Puerto Rico. One of eleven boys, his love affair with music began at the age of three when he first accompanied his uncle on a tin ***er can. When he was five, his family immigrated to New York City. Young Jose learned to play the concertina at age six, using a handful of records as his teacher. At eight, he performed for his classmates at PS 57, and at nine, performed at The Puerto Rican Theater in the Bronx. Venturing beyond the accordion, he taught himself to play the guitar with undaunted determination and again, with nothing but records as his teacher, practicing for as many as 14 hours a day. Exposed to the rock-n-roll of the 50's, Jose was then inspired to sing.

 As the 'Seventies dawned, the Jim Morrison fronted Doors mad "Light My Fire" one of the seminal rock anthems of the age, ranking up there with the likes of "Whiter Shade of Pale," "Layla" and the later "Another Brick in the Wall." But while many record buyers might have thought that Morrison's original could never be topped, a certain Jose Feliciano not only made a cover but sent it soaring into the charts.
