Jose was at graceland celebrating Elvis' birthday. He sang, and spoke about the day he met Elvis in Tahoe. It's nice to know they were fans of each other.
this is just so much more melodious and sexier than the doors - FOR THE WIN! don't get me wrong I love the doors but this one belongs to jose hands down
Jose is genius! This cover is incredible, I do love it better, but the original is phenomenal as well... It's just a great desert or beach getaway, road trip, song!..
I'm just gonna say this... It would have been classy to do it today. But to steal a song that soon, I don't think it's respectful of the original artist. He can't say he was paying homage to The Doors. He was only cashing in on a HUGE song of the time.
@FedorfaN79 Done by a fucken commercial doll act like Justin Bieber would be disrespectful, but when a gifted guitar player like Feliciano does it... is a honor.
He is blind... and plays the guitar... that's waaay enough for me.
When I first heard this as a teen, I felt it was a travesty to the original. The more I listened, the more I appreciated the beauty of this rendition. Love the acoustic guitar, violins and conga. What a classic.
He's not a composer, but has a tremendous musicality and a powerful, yet incredibly expressive voice. Not an innovator, but a master in every skill and style of popular music. Has no showmanship, but it's always a delight to watch him perform. Has no sight, but can see into the very soul of each song he plays. He's "old fashioned" for some people, but with 65 years his musical quality hasn't aged a single day.
He's José Feliciano... the most underrated musician in the history of popular music.
@FumTech uhm.. Jose has composed at least 2 hundred of songs, music for movie and theater and classical orchestras... Jose IS an innovator, was the first artist to add a Nylon spanish guitar with classical fingerstyle on the pop rock music, was the first crossover artist for the latin flavour added on anglo-pop rock music...
For the rest I'm agree with You, he's the most underrated musician in the history of popular music...
Muito bom, acho que até o Morrison gostava. Pena que o câmara (ou o diretor de imagem) ficou focalizando apenas o rosto do Jose Feliciano, e quase não se consegue ver a técnica de instrumento dele.
One of the greatest recordings of all time. what a fantastic, fabulous song. Unlike anything else, the signature voice of Jose Feliciano. The way this song unravels is like....the gods are singing to us - commemorating us, celebrating us, holding us up to the light to behold to the world the rapture of human love.
Puede haber iguales, pero mejores que Feliciano? Yo lo dudo, en especial, con Light my fire (logró estar mejor que con The Doors) y la Entrada de Bilbao.
Pero esta grabación realmente no está de las mejores.
I think you'll find most discerning listeners disagree with you. instead of throwing out cheap jibes, why don't you listen to a version without distortion and bias and you might find there's a reason why people think so highly of him?
No sólo fue una de las mejores versiones de la época sino que los mismos Doors decían que era la más que les gustaba. Y se hicieron algunas en la época. Lo que se comenta por ahí, ignorancia de algunos. Además Feliciano es un guitarrista uqe te mueres.
Genius; stirring; mellow; inspiring and when we heard it, our hearts melted. The Doors blew us away, but Feliciano cruised right into our souls with this song. Unforgettable.
man the doors became instant classic. think ybout this: this song came out in 1967. Roadhouse blues did even better, with Status Quo covering it the same year it came out (1970). Wow! By the time those songs were aired, there was muche less hypocrisy and profit in players others' songs, which was, i think, like confirming the value of the song.
Jim Morrison really enjoyed Jose Felicano''s Version of "Light My Fire" and often kidded Robbie Krieger who was a professionally trained "Flamenco Guitarist" that his lead guitar in the Doors "Light My Fire" wasn't as good as Jose's as a joke But he may have been right...Dan O'Niallain
@LDSHRCSMT Sorry, Mtndawgs wife here, Kelly Ann. I posted that mis-information. Never saw your response until now. Since then, Wikipedia has either corrected it, or I misread it back then. The rest of my comment is accurate, per Wikipedia. Just trying to make a positive comment, because all the haters were slamming Jose Feliciano. I felt that was not fair, considering he received a Grammy for his version of this song.
Light My Fire was written by Ray Manzarek and released in 1967. Jose Feliciano's cover version won a 1969 Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. In that same year, Jose also won a Grammy for Best New Artist. Anyone that doesnt like this is in the minority, yet entitled to their opinion (we all have one, and it is our own). Fact: in 1969 this version was more publicly successful. If it were up to Manzarek, we wouldve been stuck with this song as a Buick Opel TV commercial in 1968-eww!
@Mountaindawg So wrong dude, like buddy says it was written by robbie krieger , all ecxept one verse wallow in the mire which jimmy boy decided to throw in there. This is the tune that made them,as for Manzarek he was pretty much the groups business guy . He actually held jim together most of the times the best he could not an easy task, I always wonder how big they woulda got if morrison didnt die, such is life ................... cheers
@kidnme101 You are right! I was mis-informed (Wikipedia has corrected it since). Thank you for commenting, or I wouldve never known. I had to comment after all the negative stuff people were writing. This is Mtndawgs wife, Kelly Ann, by the way. I am the pne that moderates the Mountaindawg YouTube channel. You ROCK, kidnme101. :-)
@Mountaindawg to correct my post: Robby Krieger actually wrote the song. He was Guitarist for The Doors and an awesome songwriter. He also wrote: Love Her Madly, Touch Me, and Love Me 2 Times. The rest of the info I wrote above is accurate.
I have this song in its recorded/released version, and the sound quality is great. I wish the sound on this video did Jose Feliciano justice. Otherwise, thank you for sharing it.
I love both versions (The Doors and Jose's) of this song. Very different in their approaches, but I get a great song to listen to when either version is playing.
Grandioso José Feliciano, cantando "Light My Fire", "Qué será", o cualquier otro tema, que en su voz adquiere una nueva dimensión innovadora, peculiar y sublime con el sello personal que aporta a todas sus canciones. Feliciano Forever!!!
Jose REWRITE musically & Vocally Light My Fire, not one note is the same of the Doors, how only genius like Jose can do. Also this his arrangments was the most used from other artists; the same Robbie Krieger thanks Jose because after him so many great artists around the world starting to do cover of this song
Doors wrote it but THE MOST USED ARRANGEMENTS was the Jose Feliciano work!:
A Robbie Krieger interview
Q - One hundred years from now, people will still be playing and listening to "Light My Fire". It's a rock classic. As the writer of that song, how doe*s that make you feel?
A - It's really a great feeling to have written a classic. I think I owe a big debt to Jose Feliciano because he is actually the one, when he did it, everybody started doing it. He did a whole different arrangement on it.
@kokasff13 Are you fucking kidding me you ignorant bastard this song was written by Robby Krieger the guitarist player in the doors they where the ones who let this guy play this song...
Don't know about Jim, but Robby Krieger (guitarist), who actually wrote the song, had the utmost respect for Jose's version, and has stated many he times he absolutely loves it.
I'd find it hard to believe (though again, I don't know for sure) that Morrison had a problem with it..........but who knows ????
When Our Lord opens Jose's eyes one day, I think all of us on Earth or Passed Away will sing praise. Jose-never forget about what you told people that you would sing a gospel album before you pass away. We're the ones that are blind-not you...Dan O'Niallain, Grafton, Ma.
When I get past my 2nd bottle of Arbor Mist, I can no longer tell which version of Jose's "Light My Fire" I like the best. My Favorite video is when Jose took on, ever so fairly, the World War I and II baseball fans that only now accept this version of "Light My Fire" before the Baseball Game. Dan O'Niallain, Grafton, Ma.
uh.maybe it's me.but this is a whole lotta awful!!!!!!i know he is a blind guy,but come on!!!!!political correctness and all,this is a whole lotta awful!!!!!
I LOVE JF. Lord, what a great artist. I don't think he's capable of performing ANYTHING without giving everything he's got. A powerful and completely distinctive voice and great skill on the guitar. Vaya, Jose dulce! ---
@Metalhearth eres un imbecil la verdad Jose Feliciano es un gran cantante con este comentario solo presumes tu ignorancia, ademas esa cancion no es de morrison es de robby y los doors estuvieron de acuerdo en que Feliciano la Cantara...yo soy fan de Jim y si hay alguien que podria interpretar esta rola si duda es Feliciano...
Fuzzmaster56, you are what is technically known as a knob jockey.This guy was and is pure genius way ahead of his time, but what would a racist wanker like you know.TWAT.
@darkmossie633 is simply ridicolous says "has no soul compared to original"...
is EXACTLY the opposite! This version can not be the prefeered but SURELY this is a FULL SOUL version respect to he original wich was simply a normal psic.rock song of that time, and no more.
How do I spell JERK?...F-U-Z-Z-M-A-S-T-E-R! Not only is this idiot a racist, he's homophobic as well...And he makes up words, too! COPTED???As Bugs Bunny would say, "What a moroon!...BTW, I met John Densmore of The Doors several years ago, and he didn't seem to have a problem with José Feliciano's version at all.
jose covers that song,light my fire,great! the studio version is better though. fuzzmaster56's comment was not needed,many artists cover others songs. very rude dude
@fuzzmaster56 Hey dumbass if you are going to be racist at least try not to sound like a fucking retard yourself...what is copted? And Jose was Puerto Rican...so technically not a "spic" stupid! Another moron embarassing people of european descent...thanks jackass!
@pqstr I was simply correcting this moron's use of the term "spic". It is traditionally used when racists are referring to Mexicans, not Puerto Ricans. By the way, if you visit my channel, you will see that I love Puerto Rican music from Chuito and Maso Rivera to Ray Barreto and many others!!!
@pqstr Because you would know, having grown up in a predominantly white community, and being exposed to what slurs are spoken amongst whites...right? I'm on you side, dumbass. I'm not saying it's good! I don't like the word at all! However, man, you can call whoever you want a "spic" if that makes you feel good!
@theflyroller u ignorant son of a bitch! so obviously u think that i'm a white non hispanic person. u couldn't possibly be more wrong. however u assumed that i was white and i know these words because i use them against latins. roflmmfao! u idiot. tell me sth why did u assume such a stupid thing? if ur tryin to be a mindreader give up u suck n keep ur day job. even by simply clickin on my channel u'd get an idea of what i am. i've never really met a person that is more full of shit than you!
@pqstr If you were paying attention, dumbfuck, I was commenting on some dumb shit fuzzmaster was saying about Jose! It had nothing to do with you. The world does not revolve around you. You should take back what you said about me! I was being sarcastic because you were trying to correct my "gringo" racist slang! Dude, relax! If you like "spic" then use it, I DON'T USE THE WORD! My wife is Puerto Rican, I travel there with family alot. So kiss my Honkey ass!
@theflyroller i was payin attention and that comment was not a reply to fuzzmaster it was a reply to me. so if u don't want me to think ur talkin to me then be careful who u reply to cuz that comment was sent to me as a reply! and stop bein such but i mean such a dumbass. who said i like that word? i'd only like it if i was a masoquist but i ain't one. and i'm still right about the definition. be carefull next time reply to the right person dumbfuck! and fuck ur honkey ass!
Also, we're all European and spic is just something that fuzzmaster's grandparents came up with when they crossed over Ellis Island and had their names changed from Szejzeniekauskis to Smith. Learn your history and ancestry before you attack a culture that knows theirs. Have a great week!
Anti Venom, you arent a loser if you LEARN from your mistakes. What you put out you get back to you, its really simple. Try saying a few nice things and see what you get back. Peace man.
It's amazing that this is better than the doors version!

Somehow I feel he does more justice to this song than ' The doors'. By far, my favourite song.

I LOVE JF. Lord, what a great artist. I don't think he's capable of performing ANYTHING without giving everything he's got. A powerful and completely distinctive voice and great skill on the guitar. Vaya, Jose dulce! ---

@Metalhearth eres un imbecil la verdad Jose Feliciano es un gran cantante con este comentario solo presumes tu ignorancia, ademas esa cancion no es de morrison es de robby y los doors estuvieron de acuerdo en que Feliciano la Cantara...yo soy fan de Jim y si hay alguien que podria interpretar esta rola si duda es Feliciano...

@albak1966 not a very good version of the ORIGINAL track by "THE DOORS"
-has no soul compared to original, and that's because it's not his own work
-ie. NOT FELT
darkmossie633 11 months ago
@darkmossie633 is simply ridicolous says "has no soul compared to original"...
is EXACTLY the opposite! This version can not be the prefeered but SURELY this is a FULL SOUL version respect to he original wich was simply a normal psic.rock song of that time, and no more.

How do I spell JERK?...F-U-Z-Z-M-A-S-T-E-R! Not only is this idiot a racist, he's homophobic as well...And he makes up words, too! COPTED???As Bugs Bunny would say, "What a moroon!...BTW, I met John Densmore of The Doors several years ago, and he didn't seem to have a problem with José Feliciano's version at all.

@fuzzmaster56 Hey dumbass if you are going to be racist at least try not to sound like a fucking retard yourself...what is copted? And Jose was Puerto Rican...so technically not a "spic" stupid! Another moron embarassing people of european descent...thanks jackass!
theflyroller 1 year ago
@theflyroller your right about everything except for the technically not a spic part. wtf?
pqstr 1 year ago
@pqstr I was simply correcting this moron's use of the term "spic". It is traditionally used when racists are referring to Mexicans, not Puerto Ricans. By the way, if you visit my channel, you will see that I love Puerto Rican music from Chuito and Maso Rivera to Ray Barreto and many others!!!
theflyroller 1 year ago
@theflyroller still wrong. fyi "spic" is a racist word against latins not just mexicans!
pqstr 1 year ago
@pqstr Because you would know, having grown up in a predominantly white community, and being exposed to what slurs are spoken amongst whites...right? I'm on you side, dumbass. I'm not saying it's good! I don't like the word at all! However, man, you can call whoever you want a "spic" if that makes you feel good!
theflyroller 1 year ago
@theflyroller u ignorant son of a bitch! so obviously u think that i'm a white non hispanic person. u couldn't possibly be more wrong. however u assumed that i was white and i know these words because i use them against latins. roflmmfao! u idiot. tell me sth why did u assume such a stupid thing? if ur tryin to be a mindreader give up u suck n keep ur day job. even by simply clickin on my channel u'd get an idea of what i am. i've never really met a person that is more full of shit than you!
pqstr 1 year ago
@pqstr If you were paying attention, dumbfuck, I was commenting on some dumb shit fuzzmaster was saying about Jose! It had nothing to do with you. The world does not revolve around you. You should take back what you said about me! I was being sarcastic because you were trying to correct my "gringo" racist slang! Dude, relax! If you like "spic" then use it, I DON'T USE THE WORD! My wife is Puerto Rican, I travel there with family alot. So kiss my Honkey ass!
theflyroller 1 year ago
@theflyroller i was payin attention and that comment was not a reply to fuzzmaster it was a reply to me. so if u don't want me to think ur talkin to me then be careful who u reply to cuz that comment was sent to me as a reply! and stop bein such but i mean such a dumbass. who said i like that word? i'd only like it if i was a masoquist but i ain't one. and i'm still right about the definition. be carefull next time reply to the right person dumbfuck! and fuck ur honkey ass!

Also, we're all European and spic is just something that fuzzmaster's grandparents came up with when they crossed over Ellis Island and had their names changed from Szejzeniekauskis to Smith. Learn your history and ancestry before you attack a culture that knows theirs. Have a great week!
