He is a musical melting pot as well as an amazing American story. He would spend up to 14 hours a day practicing After all, he has Puerto Rican origins, lived in Spanish Harlem and listened to American soul music, jazz and classical guitar.
These influences are all evident on Feliciano!, and to my ears José Feliciano is a true “American” artist. He would spend up to 14 hours a day practicing, while he studied classical guitar and tried to emulate artists as diverse as Segovia, Sam Cooke, Wes Montgomery and Ray Charles. Soon afterward, young José showed an exceptional penchant for music. When he was five, his family moved from Puerto Rico to New York City’s Spanish Harlem. The fourth of 11 boys, Feliciano was born blind due to glaucoma.
