[dresendezz]

I love this man's guitar and singing, but goddamn i feel like never picking up a guitar again everytime i hear him jajaja

[carraton10]

[MarcianoMarcel]

@carraton10

Nigga I didnt say nigger you fuck nut.

[stevecurl55]

awesome..........ranks right there with the orginal - I wish I had his"souled" album still- It was a great follow-up to "Feliciano"..........damn- I can't find it anywhere!

[rumvodkaf1]

He sounds creepy to me but i'm moved by his performances and interpretations of these great songs...

[Grnvolpe]

I never knew he sang in english. Im on the younger side so I missed his more prominent days but his skill is undeniable

[ROCKCITYAKADKID]

no disrespect to the mamas and papas but this is so much better than the original.

[heehawluck1]

@ROCKCITYAKADKID I agree entirely .......I said so when it first came out. Magic.

[LaBestiaDrog]

yo creo que sin los intrumentos sonaria una mierda

[wilsonsoriano2003]

@LaBestiaDrog i can tell that you really are one big fucking ignorant go and do something productive

[MrChacha1994]

@LaBestiaDrog tu eres una mierda. jose es un dios le la musica!

[georgie241963]

he is so cool,,he is another Puerto Rican pride,,a legend !! good video dude ..

[Manueldy]

q voz la netaa, hasta en inglés

[lovethe1wolves]

Awesome Jose.

[mikebtko]

The man can give any original hit a run for its money with his version. I love this one better, and I love "Light My Fire" better by Jose Feliciano as well. The dude is very cool, he can make masterpieces with his sound!..

[MuskieAli]

4.00 :)

[MrNckissfan]

No other entertainer can pull of a cover song the way Mr Feliciano can.

[MuskieAli]

Piękny głos,piękny On,piękne usta,ręce...mmmmm-brawo!!!

[nextel99]

how dare you fools argue about horseshit and faggotry in jose feliciano's temple.

[jerrysteinberg]

One of the musicians i would most like to meet and one of my favourite guitarists.

[fifiesponja07]

Jose Feliciano is the man! This version is absolutely beautiful :D

[hammerman7777]

@fifiesponja07 Right on...and there isn't a rapist pedophile singing!!!

[Edellakavija]

Thanks for this video! José Feliciano is one of the greatest guitarists. He has that feel in his play, that not so many guitarists have not. And ofcourse that amazing technique when playing classical or electric guitar. And he shows us that blindness is not a such big barrier against succesing on something that you love.

[DebbSaxx1]

He has one of the most touching voices of all times -- gets through right to my soul. A master of soulfulness !!

[usctrojan43]

como?

[insolence75]

Felicidades Jose Feliciano.....saludos desde California

[ZForbesOfficial]

Jose is a legend

[budwzr]

Love you too amigo. You're the master.

[AKEYTOHELL]

Love you man.

[roundflamingos]

Me gusta Jose Feliciano, Realmente lo Admiro, Pero Realmente esta no fue su Mejor Obra

[rickycosentinosongs]

what a talent !!! i wonder if he would have gotten thru the snot nose kid who judged me for the voice, and passed

[FahlazadDO]

How can anyone dislike this masterpiece?

[deepak95878]

Gave us great musical moments, a GREAT I was lucky to grow up with, musically speaking. Thank you.

[farq69er]

57 people still live at home holding mums hand

[jeabreg]

@wevelostDon He's more famous than you.

[tollymj]

Awesome mike t

[kioftor]

is he blind?

[lcserg87]

@kioftor nope he is just taking a sun bath

[kioftor]

@lcserg87 ah ok....

[Bori96]

@wevelosDon a blind spic that can speak and sing a million times better than you.

Yeah I know it hurts.

[hnava74]

@wevelostDon you stupid sad motherfucker hahaha

[romanticwarrior97]

Another JF version as good as the original.

[joemplascencia]

A blind spic huh?! You ignorant fuck!

[blacpuppet]

wow like this version better

[graciela8103]

wonderful.

[bababarghi13]

Like it but believe the ORIGINAL Version which is the Mama's and Papa's is pretty much better !

[OMATICH]

@bababarghi13 nahhh bro, this is hot.

[Vasouliniii]

Magic

[gaspo2180]

Jose does covers HIS WAY and nobody does it BETTER !! The man gets a writer's respect because HE CAN WRITE, too. Check it out, he's THE REAL DEAL.

[carol884]

I miss the days of variety shows and revues where artists performed/borrowed/covered each other's songs regularly and without fear of lawsuits. Back then, it seemed that folks weren't "threatened" by what flair somone else would add to their song. Jose Feliciano was special in that he put in his own rendition flavored with spanish soul and what "extra" he could convey through a deeper musical ability gleaned from his other senses having been developed far greater than a sighted individual.

[livesforthemusic609]

@carol884 completely agree

[salehinqatar1994]

Talented, even for a cover. Almost as good as the original.

[lalokuava]

Nicely done..

[Konny201]

Un cantante prodigioso con una de las más hermosas canciones.......

[NewRapord]

I discovered him but now....what a voice !!!!!!! it took 10 sek. and now i love him

[sgtmjames]

the mamas and the papas were mainly good with this song because they harmonized incredibly well but jose is good by himself.

[Sports570]

54 tone deaf people who wouldn't know talent if it smacked 'em in the face disliked this. Incredible!

[musicteachjw]

One of my favorite albums of all time.

[MrMangastyle122]

he's blind?

[91joelt]

@MrMangastyle122 Yes, he is. Check out his version of Michael Jackson's Billie Jean.

[strawberEfieldz4ever]

54 people have nightmares in Texas lol

[nat9j]

sublime

[gspriggs]

you are friggin awesome Jose.

[Deathz0r94]

Turns 65 the 10th of September.

[theshapeoftime]

some 30 years before drop it like it's hot, feliciano was master of the tongue click

[07tnt]

Great song version of the Great artist and guitarist! It always moves me when I hear this great song played by José

[RUBENPEREZmusic]

he wears those glasses because he is blind, good singer and good guitarist, respect,,,

[IbonedDerekDsister]

This guys guitar skills suck dick. Seriously, take the glasses off and look and what the fuck your playing and perhaps it'll sound better. what a diva!

[MetalRock7777]

@IbonedDerekDsister Fucking prick. HE IS BLIND! I bet you couldn't play as well as him even though you have sight. Know what? I want you to do a YouTube video and close your eyes and play this song. You also should learn Spanish. Judging by your name, I am guessing you are too busy boning Derek D's sister to do that though. Why don't you fucking tape your eyes shut and try to reach the top of the charts? Oh yea, I forgot, your guitar skills suck dick.

[washboardblues]

@MetalRock7777

Sucker.

[MetalRock7777]

@washboardblues Excuse me?

[matty6345]

@IbonedDerekDsister go show him genius:))

[victav]

@IbonedDerekDsister ROFL is that you attempting to play guitar in that shitty video you have uploaded on your channel?? OLOLOLOLOL yea your totally right Jose Feliciano could have TOTALLY learned so much from you... All sarcasm aside, I look forward to the day that you upload a video of yourself playing this song better than Jose Feliciano....

[IbonedDerekDsister]

@victav If you seriously look forward to my vids I must play guitar better than I thought. Thanks for the compliment and I know its not sarcasm because you specifically said "all sarcasm aside" thanks bro. Now go fuck yourself.

[adammclinn07]

Such a great song

[fanivilchez]

Magnifico!

[33raizeup]

Jose... What talent this man possesses!

[7samos]

Une merveille!!!!

[DennisNJ1968]

Wow - he's incredible!

[kingsofstates]

Is it true that Charles Manson wrote this song?

[aryanstallyan]

@kingsofstates no.

[AngelCifuEngasaoM]

54 people don't dream... :(

[TheIntruders]

@AngelCifuEngasaoM

People who immediately check the number of dislikes and make a comment about it should be raped.

[zyriuz2]

@TheIntruders I bet you disliked this ;P well I like it, but I think bobby womack does it better :)

[TheIntruders]

@zyriuz2

I don't care. My comment was about the idiots that look at the like / dislike ratings.

[washboardblues]

@TheIntruders

I agree completely. These people who have nothing better to make some lame comment on the amount of dislikes are total morons. The only people who are more monoric are the idiots that give Thumbs Up to their comment. Get a life people.

[IbonedDerekDsister]

@TheIntruders 54 people can't play guitar with sunglasses on.



[yoshigirlrocker]

@IbonedDerekDsister Hey dumbass NEWS FLASH. He aint no fucking diva u Prick Hes Blind. Thats why he wears those glasses idiot. He wears them to protect his eyes. And if you dont like his style then go cry urself 2 sleep in a corner We dont Need you're Idiotic Comments here About shit you cleary dont know about.

[AngelCifuEngasaoM]

@TheIntruders Why man.?! I wrote why I felt, like the ones who clicked on the dislike button... ¬¬

[washboardblues]

@AngelCifuEngasaoM

Writing comments about the people who click the dislike button is played out. Only idiots do it now.

[AngelCifuEngasaoM]

@washboardblues Idiots are the ones who click on the dislike button...

[ilikesmayonaise]

@AngelCifuEngasaoM 57 now :(

[katerinahejdova]

@AngelCifuEngasaoM it's their problem. or not?

[maxrp]

Grande Feliciano. Colombia

[Mnandaka]

[FelipeRocks]

Grande Feliciano !!!!!! Saludos desde Chile.

[dennyolver2]

Like his stuff hate lite my fire by doors they should be called the bores

[ilikesmayonaise]

jose's singin is raggin time of the melody i don't think the backin group is out of sync

[amandasaysshhh]

pretty cool!! ;)

[OldskoolDM80s90s]

Its a cover (not supposed to sound exactly like the original)

[cleaningagent101]

Does he say "preacher needs a car"? haha

[PJMPercussion]

oh by the way, Thats NOT a backing track, thats a real group in the back ground

and I don't mean just the two guys behind him

[zasvedogovore]

53 people left my planet long ago

[azione]

This is actually so much closer to the way it was meant to be performed by its composer Bobby Womack.

[ivan595]

@azione John and Michelle Phillips wrote this song in New york, 1963, when they were members of the New Journeymen.

[azione]

@azione so it was! Thanks :)

[jamesha175]

@azione bobby womack's version was a cover of the mamas and papas original.

[arseniovayadares]

he got the quitar part good but the rest he screwed up 

[frendo21]

I saw him sing in front of me at the fair about 10 feet away i was in a folding chair, I was so stoked, i later on wore out my cassette tape driving up and down the calif coast for the rest of the 70s &80s , California dreamin was my anthem, you had to be there , something about the smell of the eucalyptus trees and all those old songs

[zonkedforlife2]

I think the dislikers only like the original song, you just can't hate this song all-together

[sierria64]

this is beautiful ... also listen to bobby womack cover

[triacid]

I saw Jose perform live in Mumbai, India. Have to admit, I didn't know who he was before that but man his voice transformed me that night. He covered a song by the Beatles that night and it was sublime. I am grateful that I could experience this great man's magic!

O-Lord forgive the 51 - they know not what they do!

[hzlyedguy]

[DomnulGheara]

[davidjoseph67]

[Gurrier]

@davidjoseph67 Same :)

[guiriquita]

@davidjoseph67 me too!

[spearofdestiny1965]

Jose makes us sentamental about a time (the 1960's) and its music that passed us by too quickly...Dan O'Niallain

[wordreet]

@spearofdestiny1965 Give me a time machine. I would sell my soul for one. ;¬)

[fondoogle]

watch?v=46CNp89_52Y

[MsT1331]

es la mejor versión y la mejor canción que he escuchado de jose feliciano mis respetos...

[allenlamentemaestra]

a mi me gusta gozar en california. porque yo me siento muy bien

[Smudgefizz]

Too bad this song is now tainted because its author turned out to be a junkie pedophile who taught his young daughter to do cocaine intravenously. The floor of John Phillip’s house was described as littered with human feces, vomit, urine, moldy food, syringes, & other garbage. After her own Dad gave her drugs on the night before her wedding, 19 year old Mackenzie Phillips woke up to find John fucking her. This sick relationship continued for 10 more years. John Phillips was one sick puppy...

[madmatix]

@Smudgefizz Well it's her word againts a dead's man. That and the world is very jaded and cynical. So we'll never know, but your right either way it will forever be connected to that story.

[Atomank68]

OMG!!! He's doing the George Bension "scat" thing again!!! LMAO; I sooo loved this man's talent long time!

[antcalsb]

Jose kicks ass!!

[pucisfoot]

Thank you my God for this Musician. Feliz Navidad para Jose.

[dgjmwer]

asombroso :o

[Grumzyy]

Queen Latifah does a similar arrangement that is pretty good too. Check it out.

[klaushelmutd]

this is real handmade-music!!! wonderful

[jayc86dy]

Can anyone tell me what the chord breakdown how he plays this song. I see it looks like c#m to maybe c#m7 and a g#7. If anyone can figure it that would be cool.

[georgeharrison22543]

I myself am not the biggest Jose Feliciano fan (or, as I should say, was) and I only knew about his recording of "Feliz Navidad". I am a what I'm now going to call a "Jose Felici-fan"!!!

[simplethunder]

Wow, nice song. Gave me the chills. Been feeling depressed all day but this raised my mood a little.

[alucardbca]

I love this cover!

[micmoable]

see vid MY CAT SONG "TOMBOY" or MICHAEL MOSLEY'S BLUES PICKING

[mrpnasty420]

[TonyJenRock1]

he makes me love California and I'm from NY

(Albany)!!!!! Calif is soooooooooo coool!!

so is JOSE

[DaViiloW805]

mean guitar skills, way sick

[Januacaeli]

Blind singers and musicians are the best from ever.

Music is the expression of their own inner world.

[lucious212]

Wow ! wot a cover ! O_O !!!

[CosmicNicky]

Love this track

[brokeneck]

i had no idea this guy was so awesome. When i hear his name i just think Feliz Navidad. what a ruler.

[beroth77]

@brokeneck just take a look at his ideo 'flyght of the bumble been

[inURface297]

pfft beiber is better

[madmatix]

@inURface297 you already have enough to eat today troll get back under the bridge.

[inURface297]

@madmatix lol wtf is that supposed to mean

[madmatix]

@inURface297 you must be new here

[urbeinghunted]

this is gorgeous. 2010, with all the false shit of sampling and voice enhancement... nothing comes near it. Class all the way thru.

[TonyJenRock1]

he sings and plays that guitar as a very gifted person....we are so lucky to have this guy in our world

[AlkoHol62]

@InTheStix13 -you are very representative of the ignorant white people i've had to live with in this pinche pais. Since i AM a citizen, i have a right to complain. Fuck your stupid ass trailer park comments, dumb ass piece of shit country bumpkin!

[jpsmart59]

El rey de pop Jose Feliciano.

[InTheStix13]

why is he rocking back and forth like a retard. it dont make him look intelligent at all.

[sp72929]

@InTheStix13

A little respect to a great musician would be nice. He is simply moving to the rhythm - a lot of blind musicians are doing that and Jose is blind since birth.

[BOBPOPROCK]

@InTheStix13 stupid assholeee he's BLIND!

[mattsvideothing]

@InTheStix13 The fact that you don't know how to use proper grammar or your inability to realize he's been blind since birth "dont make you look intelligent at all". Do your family and the rest of the world a favor and kill yourself you miserable little prick.

[aqota06]

@InTheStix13 ...who is retard? sorry....take a look in the mirror....

[matty6345]

@InTheStix13 blind people can't see around themselves so often have no judgment over movements like that. many do that, move their heads about too without being aware.. probably also feels better playing and singing that way. why does joe cocker act like a spastic with his hands onstage? never does it offstage.

[COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY]

that's far out

[smellycatpoop]

What year was this recorded?

I like it!

[Top100Guitarist]

@smellycatpoop this was recorded in 1968, how the recording version on his hit album "Feliciano!"
