 Jose Feliciano has been acclaimed by critics throughout the
world as "the greatest living guitarist." Guitar Player magazine has named him
Best Pop Guitarist for five years running and has placed him in their Gallery of
the Greats. He has also been voted both Best Jazz and Best Rock Guitarist in the
Playboy magazine readers' poll numerous times. Jose has received over 40 gold
and platinum records, has won 14 Grammy nominations and six Grammy awards, and
has earned countless prestigious awards the world over. Constantly in demand to
perform all over the world, Jose has played before royalty and behind what used
to be the Iron Curtain. He has enjoyed performing with top symphony orchestras,
including the London Symphony, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and the famous
Vienna Symphony.
He has also appeared on major television shows worldwide and
done a number of his own television specials. One of Jose's most memorable
moments came the day he joined other entertainment legends in having his star
permanently implanted on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. (Jose has also been given a
star on the Walk of Fame in his native Puerto Rico, alongside Jose Ferrer and
Raul Julia. In addition, during August of 1997, Jose had his hands cast for the
world famous Wall of Hands in Madam Tussaud's in London. Jose's hands are placed
next to those of Andrew Lloyd Weber and Michael Jackson. The induction took
place June 1998.) He is one of the only artists to sign a multi-tier record
contract with a major label, to record English pop, Spanish pop, and classical
music. The city government of New York City honored Jose by renaming Public
School 155 in East Harlem and dedicating it as The Jose Feliciano Performing
Arts School. Throughout 1995, Jose performed on various television specials in
the United States, Canada, England, Switzerland, Poland, Japan, the Philippines,
Hungary, Vienna, Germany, the United Arab Emirates, Chile, Argentina, Brazil,
and Italy. Jose has recorded over 60 albums in his impressive career. Still
humble with all the successes he has had, Jose feels that his career is just
beginning and that he has just started to share his talents with the world.
