Whats ridiculous is, I knew who Jose Feliciano was before I heard this song. I've heard of George Benson before I had heard this song. Also Nujabes. All of which are amazing artist its crazy how connected they are through music even though they are 3 completely different styles of music. Its like paying 8 degress of separation with Kevin Bacon but with music.
Without Feliciano, there would be no George Benson version, there would be no Nujabes version...and I would not have heard the Nujabes version on Samurai Champloo and wondered why it wasn't on the anime's OST and eventually led me on youtube to George Benson's material, and subsequently, Jose Feliciano. Mindf*ck.
I know Nujabes and George Benson were praised for doing this remake but you have to give the real respect credit to Jose Feliciano. That's the master.....
I've seen this today on a local Italian TV, after Jose gig there was another band I'm trying to find.
There was a bandleader playing flute, a drummer, a piano player, a kbd player, bass, drums, a horn section, all in the same location shown in this video.
Really great instrumental music but there was no titles...
April 2010: Fantastic News!!! For the first time, the original 1975 LP Just Wanna Rock'n'Roll which include the original "Affirmation" by Jose Feliciano (sampled also by Njubaes dj and covered by George Benson" ) is finally released on CD !!!!!
Nujabes did such a nice job with this awesome song and thanks to his sample I just learned of Jose Feliciano. Cars suck even more when they kill people you care about, don't they?
