My Rating: 
COMMENTS:
This nice album from 1974 contains Feliciano's last
Top-100 hit to appear on thye US Charts: "Chico and the
man". This song was used as the soundtrack for the TV series
by the same name and reached widespread popularity, eventually
being performed by such artists as Sammy Davis Jr. The album
also contains a wonderful rendition of "Golden Lady",
a Stevie Wonder song and, in my opinion, one of the best things
ever recorded by Jose' Feliciano. I also like "Essence of
your love", "Stay with me" and "Virgo".
This last piece is noteworthy for being one of the few instrumental
pieces recorded by Jose' on electric guitar.
Again to date american RCA don't release this wonderful
song and Album on cd ! Please write them to request Feliciano
classics on CD: BMG Special Products - Ms. Betty Ann Rizzo -

ORIGINAL BILLBORAD REVIEW - RECOMMENDED
Originally reviewed for week ending 11/23/74
This is definitely the finest effort Feliciano
has turned out in many years and this could be the one that returns
him to the top of the charts. He includes a cross-section of
material on this album that touches Stevie Wonder, "Chico
and The Man," and many other high points. The guitar picking
is back to its originality and his vocals are extremely soul-inspired.
Best cuts: "Hard Times In El Barrio," "You're
No Good," "Virgo," "Golden Lady," "Chico
And The Man," "And The Feeling's Good," "Essence
Of Your Love." Dealers: A must for in store play.
