About Jose Feliciano
Puerto Rican musician
José Feliciano is a Puerto Rican musician. Born in 1945, he is known for his distinctive acoustic guitar style and for recording international hits that reached listeners well beyond the Spanish-speaking world. He is especially associated with his version of the Doors’ "Light My Fire" and with his own holiday song "Feliz Navidad." His music blends Latin, blues, jazz, soul, and rock, and his work is marked by that broad mix of styles.
