Legacy Recordings

Recorded in Hollywood, October 19, 1967. Entered chart: July 27, 1968, peaked at #3.

Released in the face of conventionally wisdom only a year after the original hit had established The Doors, this eccentric and brilliant reworking launched the talented blind guitarist’s career, Feliciano had been a Ted Mack Amateur Hour winner and was well known in Folk music circles. His stirring, but equally idiosyncratic, rendition of the national anthem before the fifth game of the 1967 World Series raised eyebrows across the country. He continues to enjoy a successful recording and performing career.
