Jose Feliciano in The Original Amateur Hour 1962 (He was 17)

[@juliohernandez9988]

Una leyenda José Feliciano muy buenos músicos todos

[@stddisclaimer8020]

The piece in in A major. However, Jose's concluding chord sounds like an F#13 flat 9 (with the flat 9 in the bass). Finally, some off-stage horns come in and add a G# minor chord with the B on top. Such heady harmonic stuff for a 17 year-old!

Jose' Feliciano, Gladys Knight, Johnny Burnette, Ann-Margret, Pat Boone, Irene Cara, all these and more got their first national exposure on Ted Mack's show. He and his staff had a real eye for talent!

[@walte153]

He also gave thousands of totally untalented folks their first... and last... national exposure. Most of the talent was pretty bad.

@@walte153 right but you never know untill you let them try, got to start somewhere and some of them were quite novel even if not great it makes you say ah that cool. and mr Jose is blind from birth? really did not know that till just read it with my own eyes on the web all this time and I did not know he was now stevie wonder and ray charles I knew for a long time was though

Great player... Handsome young man

[@caesarvalentin6332]

Jose idol was Andres Segovia , the apostle of classical guitar, but he chose pop music instead of playing classical guitar. Great choice.

[@chungasrevenge9222]

He hasn't seen this yet.

[@catholiccowboy8545]

The drummer is not attune with the others, since he's blind maybe he thinks he's in the kitchen mixing cake batter.
