Versatility manifested in Malaquena'

New York City native under contract with Bell Lowery
Musician finally discovered
on Tams' newest release
"Do all of you out there love Jose?" he musically asked, and
all answered with a resounding "Yes!"
That was the end of the Cultural Affairs concert featuring
Jose Feliciano Monday night The beginning and the middle
portions were the causes of the audience affection
Perched on a stool, the blind performer sang and played his
guitar for two hours, drawing the audience to him with haunting
renditions of The Windmills of Your Mind.” Don't Let the
Sun Catch You Crying and "California Dreamin
His versatility as a guitarist was manifest in "Mala
quena." while he evidenced his fhierto Rican birthright with sev
eral songs in Spanish
Never allowing a lull in his performance, Feliciano sparked
laughs with his sound effects of a train, a woman walking and a
car Some good-natured hisses were evoked with puns from an
admitted punnv man But that wasn't all Feliciano, through
his vocal impersonations, brought Bob Dylan, the Bee-Gees,
Mrs Miller and laiuis Armstrong to the Coliseum
At the scheduled concert close Feliciano attempted to leave,
much to the dismay of the audience, which hollered "More,
more, more!" So the crowd pleaser gave more — Georgia On
My Mind and the song that began Feliciano's success in mu
sic. "Light My Fire After hearing and seeing him in concert,
it is easy to understand why Jose Feliciano is called the top
male musician in America

"Blood, .Sweat and Tears' is
a nine-piece jigsaw puzzle No
two pieces are alike and no two
pieces should fit together
However, they do fit togeth

We wanted to bring a band
of national prominence so the
cost of tickets had to be
raised. Sheriff ius continued.
Also, it costs more to book a
band for a weekend perform
