   About Jose Feliciano









The name Feliciano is synonymous with MUSIC. It is synonymous with an international presence that has influenced popular music for more than two generations. It is synonymous with a presence that has bridged musical styles in a way that has never been equaled. Jose Feliciano is recognized as the first Latin Artist to cross over into the English music market, opening the doors to others who now play an important part in the American music industry.

As importantly, Feliciano has been acclaimed by critics throughout the world as “the greatest living guitarist”. Guitar Player Magazine awarded him “Best Pop Guitarist” placing him in their “Gallery of the Greats” and he’s been voted both Best Jazz and Best Rock Guitarist in the Playboy Magazine reader’s poll, as well. He’s been awarded over forty-five Gold and Platinum records; has won eighteen Grammy nominations, earning him eight Grammy Awards and is in receipt of countless prestigious awards the world over. In 1996, Jose Feliciano was selected to receive Billboard Magazine’s Lifetime Achievement Award and New York City honored him by re-naming Public School 155 in East Harlem, “The Jose Feliciano Performing Arts School.” He has had his star implanted on Hollywood Blvd’s Walk of Fame and in 2001, he received a Doctor of Humane Letters degree from Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Connecticut, for his musical - as well as humanitarian - contributions to the world.

Being constantly in demand, Jose has performed for and with some of the most important people in the world. His musicality is such that he is frequently invited to play with Symphony Orchestras including the Boston Pops, the London Symphony, the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Vienna Symphony Orchestra to name but a few. He’s appeared on major television shows worldwide, in a number of his own television specials and his music has been featured on television, in films and on the stage. Jose 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 cracker can. When he was five, his family immigrated to New York City where young Jose soon learned to play the concertina, using only a handful of records as his teacher. At eight, he performed for his classmates at PS 57, and at nine, 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.

Feliciano is known for his talent to stylize popular music to fit his personality such as “Light My Fire,” California Dreamin’,” and even “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Additionally, however, the world has enjoyed many Feliciano compositions, such as “Feliz Navidad,” “Rain,” “Chico And the Man,” “Destiny,” “Affirmation,” “Ay Cariño,” “Ponte A Cantar,” “Cuando El Amor Se Acaba,” “Porque Te Tengo Que Olvidar?” and countless others. When Jose made a cameo appearance in the Academy Award Winning motion picture, “Fargo” in 1995, he performed yet another popular self-penned composition, entitled, “Let’s Find Each Other Tonight,” demonstrating this strength as songwriter as well as performer. Feliciano’s contributions to the music industry have been far-reaching -- spanning generations and continents while emphasizing cultural diversity and mutual acceptance.

Jose’s gifts of time, treasure and talent have earned him, over the years, the reputation of great humanitarian and ‘Ambassador of Good Will’ throughout the world. “I’ll never forget where I came from or the people who helped my family or me along the way...” For this reason, Jose has established “The Jose M. and Susan L. Feliciano Charitable Foundation for Children and the Arts,” “…to help give back, at least a little bit.”

Even though Jose has recorded nearly 70 albums and traveled millions of miles in his impressive career, he still is humble with all the successes he has had and, remarkably, feels that he has just begun to share his talents with the world.

JOSE

To my dear friend

Good morning to you

I tell you, the more I think,
the more I feel that there
is nothing more truly
artistic than to love people.
 
** Friendship's Flower **
Life is like a garden
And friendship like a flower,
That blooms and grows in beauty
With the sunshine and the shower.
And lovely are the blossoms
That are tended with great care,
By those who work unselfishly
To make the place more fair.
And, like the garden blossoms,
Friendship's flower grows more sweet
When watched and tended carefully
By those we know and meet.
And, if the seed of friendship
Is planted deep and true
And watched with understanding,
Friendship's flower will bloom for you.
Have a wonderful blessed sunday
**Anika**
