DESCRIPTION:
Teenaged José Feliciano makes his first television appearance in 1962 on the variety show Amateur Hour. His jazz band Modern Sound Trio also featured fellow teens Bliss Rodriguez on piano and Bobby Grogen on drums. All of the band members were blind. For a glimpse of how his fame and talents progressed later in the same decade, there are a couple of other performances: a version of "Malaguena" and a duet with Bing Crosby.

José Feliciano is a nine-time Grammy and Lifetime Achievement Award winning Puerto Rican-born musician, singer and composer. He is known for many international hits, including his rendition of “California Dreamin’” featured in Quentin Tarantino’s 2019 hit movie “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood”, The Doors’ “Light My Fire”, “Che Sarà”, “La Copa Rota”, “Por Qué Te Tengo Que Olvidar?”, and one of the best-selling Christmas songs of all time “Feliz Navidad”. In 1968, Feliciano stirred national controversy and made history as the first artist ever to stylize the national anthem. His soulful recording of “The Star-Spangled Banner” became the first version of the anthem to chart on the Billboard Hot 100. José Feliciano's new album "Behind This Guitar" was produced by long-time collaborator and Grammy-nominated producer Rick Jarrard. It features the single "Behind This Guitar" and a cover of "The Chain" by Fleetwood Mac.
