José Montserrate Feliciano García (born September 10, 1945) is a Puerto Rican musician known for numerous international hits, including his interpretation of the Doors’ Light My Fire and his own Christmas composition Feliz Navidad. His work blends elements of Latin music, blues, jazz, soul, and rock, often centered around his distinctive acoustic guitar style. Feliciano rose to prominence in the United States during the 1960s, particularly after his 1968 album Feliciano! reached number 2 on the charts. Over the course of his career, he has released more than 50 albums in both English and Spanish. Feliciano was born in Lares, Puerto Rico, on September 10, 1945, the fourth of eleven sons. He was born blind due to congenital glaucoma. His first exposure to music came at the age of three, when he played rhythms on a cracker tin while accompanying his uncle, who played the cuatro. At age five, his family moved to Spanish Harlem in New York City, where he later made his first public appearance at Teatro Puerto Rico in the Bronx.
