Editorial Reviews

The guitar virtuoso collected recordings he'd made from age 10 to the current day for 1969's 10 to 23 , including versions of Hey Jude and Little Red Rooster and his hit Rain . That LP reached #16; Fireworks hit the charts the next year, giving Jose two more hits: Destiny and Suzie-Q .

JOSE FELICIANO is a legendary vocalist of the highest order and this is one of his greatest ever recordings and clearly a definitive collection...music lovers will enjoy listening to the opening song from Jose at ten years of age then on to a classic reading of the BeeGee's "First Of May" which features a gorgeous and deeply soulful vocal with a first-rate arrangement...a haunting "The Windmills Of Your Mind" & stellar "Miss Otis Regrets" make it clear that nobody is finer than the legendary & tremendous Jose Feliciano!!!
Classic composer Jimmy Webb must have been blown away by the glorious guitar featured beautifully in Jose's classic "By The Time I Get To Phoenix" and the Beatles had to be amazed by Jose's stellar versions of "She's A Woman", "Lady Madonna" and the incredible mesmerizing tour-de-force "Hey Jude" that has got to be on of the greatest "Beatle" cover songs ever..."Rain" is a Jose original that is equal to anything in this stunning collection showing that Jose is a legend that American Radio has foolishly failed to program when it should have...what is wrong with these tone-deaf idiots...no wonder the music industry is in such sad shape with big chains closing left and right!
Jose Felicano is one of the greatest singers and guitarists ever and this collection of legendary performances is a must have...thank you to the Sony Import division for finally releasing these incredible classic Jose Feliciano works & Bravo to the amazing Jose Feleciano, still going strong and we love you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Two Masterpieces On One CD, March 21, 2008

If you loved Jose Feliciano in the 60's and 70's, this CD is a must have. This recording gathers two of his greatest albums in a career that is as legendary as the artist himself. 10 TO 23 released in 1969 and FIREWORKS released in 1970, are milestones in Feliciano's diverse and colorful career. Every song on these two albums are bonafide classics and there are no fillers. What you will hear is Feliciano at the zenith of his creative genius. His soulful and distinctive voice paralleled with his amazing guitar virtuosity makes this a landmark recording that will bring years of listening pleasure to everyone who has followed and admire this singer-guitarist unique and colossal talent of expressing himself through music that is undeniably profound and inspiring. You will not be disappointed, if you love Jose's music specially back in the day when he was one of the biggest stars in the music industry you will love this amazing collection of hits.

I am stunned that they finally released these two gems on CD. For years his fans have written (practically pleaded) with the various record companies that he has recorded with throughout his career to release his English albums from the 60's and 70's but nothing ever came of it. Apparently all of the letters and pleas from his countless followers not to mention the demand to release the older Feliciano material has finally soften the hearts of the top record executives to release (at a very slow rate I might add) his older albums. Little by little a few of his albums from the 70's are turning up on CD and that is great news for Jose Feliciano fans and people in general who enjoy and appreciate his "special kind" of music. Whoever decided to release this two great albums into one compilation I thank you and I am certain that anyone who loves Jose's music thanks you also.

5.0 out of 5 stars I finally found one!, April 2, 2008

I've been searching for this album on CD for years. My father owned a copy of 10 to 23 and we listened to it all the time. I was born in 1964, so I was about 5 years old when I would be singing along with Jose Feliciano, word for word. Somehow, the album was lost and my brothers and I spent years trying to find another copy. This album means so much to my entire family, especially since my Dad's passing in 2005. When I listened to the CD for the first time, I cried all the way through. I was immediately transported back in time to 1969 when the world was such a warm, happy and safe place. It's a great CD and now I'm happy that I can share it with my 5 year old son as well.
