This cd is the latter installment of a Puertorican Bank annual production celebrating the best music by artists from Puerto Rico. This year you will be able to enjoy, among others, vocal groups such as Los Hispanos and Son By Four along with Jose, Danny Rivera, Millie Corretjer, Manny Manuel, the sweet and beautiful voice of Nydia Caro, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Antonio Caban Vale "El Topo" and the best latin female singer, Lucecita Benitez. Highly recommended!

WOW and again WOW. what a good representation of Jose's life and music. The first track is my personal favourite but while the cd plays in every car and every stereo in my house people say "Hey who is that, good isn't he?!!" A superb celebration of a superb performer.

This CD is an exciting musical celebration honoring the life of a great man--Jose Feliciano. Through a multitude of Latin flavors, it does justice in paying tribute to THE MAN with a smorgasbord of Latin rhythms and sounds. You will hear a little of the best of everything the Caribbean has to offer, including a little salsa, mambo, and other Latin styles with a liberal dash of Cuban and Puerto Rican seasoning. Jose' does some songs alone, such as a pulsing very modern version of "Light My Fire" and our favorite "Un Ciego No Vive En La Obscuridad"--Jose's own composition with a lovely melody and some great harmonica work. Some numbers he does in duets such as a smooth version of the title track with Marc Anthony. For lovers of Jose's original boleros...he does a lovely medley, beautiful in its simplicity. Many big names such as Marc Anthony and Son By Four and Louis Enrique join in making this a rich well-rounded festival for their hero. Be expecting new arrangements and rhythms and you won't be disappointed. A++++ all the way!

This album is wonderful and is great that many artists from Jose's native Puerto Rico as well as abroad gave him this long overdue and well deserve tribute. Feliciano, what can be said about this remarkable man that has not been said before. His achievemets and accolades have been praised the world over by just about everyone on the planet from musicians to world leaders affirming that Jose is a true hero and superb inspiration for anyone to follow. He overcame isurmountable odds in his lifetime including poverty and a physical handicap that would of stop any person cold in his tracks. However Feliciano forged on with never feeling sorry for himself and never let his blindness getting in the way of achieving his dream. This is a great album and the video is also superb. Jose Feliciano is a living legend whose stellar career has broken thru language barrier without noticing race,religion or color. FELICIANO is it, it doesn't get much better than him. He is in my opinion a GOD and what makes him so special and loved by the masses as well as his contemporaries is that he has always kept both his feet on the ground and has never let his phenomenal success go to his head.

I love this compiliation and homenaje a Jose Feliciano. These are the best songs and with Marc Anthony, son by four, nad other puerto rican greats, this cd is top notch. I especially love when Marc joins Jose in on the first track, it is my favorite alogn with the salsa one... this cd is something that no latin music fan should miss!!!
