If the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame can open its doors to a country rooted singer they should be able to recognize the talent and contribution of a Latino soul guitar genius.
Jose Feliciano, one of the most talented musicians of the last 60 years. He was doing English-Spanish crossover before anyone came up with the term. Extremely underrated because of his versatility over the last 20 years. Very proud to call him a compatriota.
Excelente versión; a este impresionante blues de B.B. King le da un toque latino imperdible!!!! Realmente se ve la calidad del artista no sólo por sus obras sino también cuando interpreta temas de otro!!! ¡¡Aplausos de pie y felicitaciones, Sr. José Feliciano!! ¡¡Bravo!!
Back in March 2006 I had the pleasure of being on stage with B.B. King, Jose Feliciano and Patti LaBelle doing "The Thrill is Gone" and a couple other songs at the Cipriani Ballroom in New York City. Don't know why that video has never been posted as it was a major production. It was a blast and the crowd went crazy as they traded off verses and guitar leads.
Such a shame he's been so underrated as a musician. He's a phenom...unique, versatile. soulful, and full of passion. You truly see his love for the guitar and music!
Jose was like Johnny Rivers. They were never bothered (burdened?) by a band, so when ready for the big recording or concert they got the very best studio people ,. Yet rock fans love the idea of the ROCK BAND. , even when 3/4's have been replaced. Jose, really impressed Daryl Hall in their "light my fire" and I could tell , her knew he had heard something special.
Such phrasing, such improvisation... 😮 They weren't bullshitting at all when they said that depriving one of one sense enhances the others. Jose Feliciano hears the world through a different set of ears. Bravo, Señor!
Deberia escuchar la versión de BBKing increíble interpretación también. José Feliciano un maestro,sentimiento y emoción en esa voz poderosa y ese pulso inspirador y genial al tocar la guitarra.
@@AndrewVOdom Jose's " Thrill is Gone " rendition is not about trying to be better than BB King's. It's more about honoring ' King's legendary music. (José has been clear about this)

Jose Is a monster on guitar and voice, he is so underrated. I can't believe why we don't hear much of him. I saw him in the Plaza Olvera in Downtown Los Angeles about 30 yrs ago and I couldn't believe how much talents anyone could have. he plays and sings beautifully..
Un ser de otra galaxia increíble como reversiona, moldea, perfecciona y hace una nueva versión de un clásico, gracias maestro por hacerme retroceder a mis días dónde mi padre me llevaba al colegio con tu música y tus acordes de otra dimensión......
Johnny canales guitar player bass player josexplain Jose has been the best to me just by listening to him hes a blessing by God Is one of the icons in the world
Jose puts his stamp on this classic. Awesome, he even plays the octave ala Wes Montgomery. Not too many can even touch that type of versatility, Awesome!
Jose was the 4th of 11 Son's, I Love him since he came out in 68 and won 2 Grammy Awards, there is not enough words to describe his Talent, Soul, etc. We were allowed to stay up on a school nightif we new he was going to be on the Johnny Carson Show, Jose was great at jokes and had a great humour, Thank You Jose for the Memories. 👍👌🙂🙂
Jose has always done his own thing in his own way BRILLIANTLY. Love different covers of classics. This one is awesome.....almost an ensemble. Jose is so humble for his massive talent.
Michael Ullman so agree..if jose could get the medal of freedom..there is no one worthy of his presence to present it to him,,i feel such shame..and i happen to be canadian...🇨🇦🇨🇦
Jose is SO often overlooked. He ranks right up there with the very best ever... Period.. His style, his technical brilliance everything.... One of a kind and so unique.... I can listen to him all day long...
Jose is the bomb. A king. He's Only underated by the yt people in the music industry.. Every body else in the world, knows, understands and respects the talent of Jose Feliciano. No problem.
I remember as a boy watching in the 60's as Jose played "Flight Of The Bumble Bee", he was lightning, I was enthralled with his playing then and still am. He did some tracks with Darryl Hall (of Hall & Oats) on a series called "Live From Darryl's House", great material.
Oh, my stupidity to have lost you my genius, but to have found you again, will never leave my greatest guitar god...play it like all my blind gods. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽✊🏾✊🏾👍🏾👍🏾❤️❤️👋🏽👋🏽👴🏽👴🏽
Just came across this clip..never seen Jose play electric..no matter what he plays or sings..it speaks to you in many volumes .what a phenomenal human being!!
Everything Jose touches is totally unique and soulful. I caught him and his crew in Ocean City Maryland at the Fenwick in in the 80s. Thanks for posting , keep em coming.
THE BEST EVER!!!!! After all these years, the first time I heard him he played Maria Elaina and that was in 1963 and here I am in that same mode at 71 yrs old, haven't missed a beat Jose
People speak of the great guitar players, I'm not going to name them here, there are just too many. However, I bet they all wouldnt have hesitated to sit and just watch and listen to this master do his thang.
The largely underestimated Jose ......... for me still a fine guitarist among others ..... may God will give you a long presperious life ..... (so w're able to enjoy your music !!!
I love his Spanish guitar influenced picking. It adds a great feel when coming out of an electric. JF is one of the only people in the world who could cover this song and take you away and let you forget yourself in the song without wishing it was BB King. He did the same thing with Light My Fire. JF is untouchable when he makes a song his own.
Thank you for posting this. An absolutely brilliant version by Jose. Beautifully sung and, of course, marvelous guitar work by one of world's finest guitarists.
Unbelievable, I would love to hear Jose and BB do this song together. I never heard Jose do the blues before but he's as good as they come, what an artist !

Love by real musicians who just said worlds class vocals and guitar 🎸 a musicians musician
I agree
He doesn’t play music he IS music.
Fucking unbelievable!
Jose Feliciano is more than a musician and performer. He's a spiritual force that is able to touch our souls......
Amen!
Incredible artist and so brilliant and touchy!
He's Flamenco, he's Blues, he's pop, he's just Jose. He's a legend.
Sabor!!
He,s Good.....
Legend !
Good Good Jose Feliciano

Do you know if the lead guitarist is Daryl Hall? (Kind of looks like him.)

Jose puts his own special stamp on everything he plays. Been loving his music since the 1960s.
Before I even heard of Carlos Santana I was listening to this guy. He still flies under the radar when great musicians are mentioned.
Ídolo.
One of the greater guitarists with a wonderful voice.
I agree.
Jose has a version of "Samba Pa Ti" featuring Carlos Santana.
@@juancarloscastroangelats7215 qqà
Not just anyone can pull this off. José demonstrated his world class chops. Soul is soul. Wow.
Jose Feliciano has done it all. He can sing anything. This cover of the B. B. King's classic is superb. His guitar work is amazing.
NO,The thrill is NOT gone.
Jose can play with anyone, anywhere.
Underrated....absolutely......
Always soulful !!
Simplement Merci Jose
Pure Voice…pure Guitar…pure Bass… and …pure saxo👑👑👑👑

I hope someone has this and can post it. This, I wanna see!!
Absolutely awesome. I knew that Jose feliciano was good, but this one just sent me over the mountain. Beautiful.
Bless this uploader and youtube, we would not have otherwise enjoyed this gem from Mr Feliciano
Such a shame he's been so underrated as a musician. He's a phenom...unique, versatile. soulful, and full of passion. You truly see his love for the guitar and music!
most people associate him with "Feliz Navidad" sadly
Hear, hear!
I totally agree with you. He is one of the greats. It deserves much more recognition both in Latin and English countries.
He is not underrated. That seems to be every ones by-line in youtube comments.
God bless Jose Feliciano!
Grande. Por. Siempre. José. Feliciano. Siempre. Fan. Saludos. Desde. ECUADOR
Puerto Rican and proud...!!!!!
I’ve always loved this artist even before I knew anything about music. He’s 360° perfection… nails it, always. Bless him. Always my favourite
Truly one of the most underrated guitarists of all time.
I melt every time I hear Jose on guitar and his voice , hermoso . What a great musician !

@@duffgordon9005 My man, look Jose is a loaded cannon I,m with you 100%, stay safe. BB
Actually this song was originally recorded in Oakland,California in 1949 by Roy Hawkins
💯
Such phrasing, such improvisation... 😮
They weren't bullshitting at all when they said that depriving one of one sense enhances the others. Jose Feliciano hears the world through a different set of ears. Bravo, Señor!
He made a classic even more classy. Best rendition ever.
Agree. Its very HOT!
He is an awesome talent. Does anyone know how he learned to play guitar?
🤘😝💯
WTF. I've always known of this guy, but holy shit, I had no idea what a phenomenal guitarist he is
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion & musical taste.
This is by far the best rendition of this song I've ever heard
Will never be better than BB, but is good
Deberia escuchar la versión de BBKing increíble interpretación también.

Don’t get carried away: BB’s is still the all-time
Classic . This is a great cover!

I dont know if the thrill is gone, but the goose bumps are here every time I listen to this song. Amazing performer, amazing.
Of late I've been REALLY rediscovering José... such a soulful player/singer... the thrill is still here for me
Jose Feliciano is so awesome, what a talent.....the greatest!!
BB King's version is classic but Jose gave it a fabulous breath of vitality that is simply brilliant.
yeah, great guitar picking too, he did honor to the song and was good at it.

Best version by anyone for sure.
It is impossible to have anything but the greatest admiration for this guitar king.
Jose should get the Presidential Medal of Freedom he's a National Treasure!
