Jose Feliciano
 Latin pop singer Jose Feliciano
was born in September 1945 in Lares, Puerto Rico. Blind from birth,
Feliciano and his family moved to New York in the early 1950s, where
he began studying accordion, guitar and voice. By the early
'60s Feliciano was a popular Greenwich Village coffeehouse performer
and soon landed a deal with RCA Records, issuing a string of popular
Latin-influenced folk-pop albums sung in both English and Spanish.
His best known, most popular singles include a 1968 cover of the Doors'
"Light My Fire," a version of Tommy Tucker's "Hi Heel Sneakers," the
theme song to the '70s TV show "Chico and the Man," and the Spanish-English
Christmas tune "Feliz Navidad." Constantly touring and recording since
the 1960s, Feliciano remains popular worldwide and has received over
40 gold and platinum albums to date; he released his most recent record,
On Second Thought, in 1997.
