In 1969, when Jose Feliciano aroused the American people’s anger by singing live a soul version of their national anthem, the “Star-Spangled Banner”, he assured himself the reputation as one of the most successful cover-version performers of all times. He even carried off two Grammy awards for his soul version of the Doors number 'Light My Fire' which is found on the present recording. But this album, which proudly bears the title 'Feliciano!', does not merely excel for its hits from the Sixties such as 'California Dreamin’', 'Sunny' and three smash hits by 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.

The very fact that the double bass jazz player Ray Brown can be found in the ensemble listing is an indication of the versatility of the musical concept of this disc. It might defy any attempt to put it in a pigeon hole, but it certainly deserves a place of its own on the record collector’s shelf!
