My Rating:


Original 1975 Adverts!


COMMENTS:

A Soul/pop album, perhaps not the best of the 70s by Jose how variety of songs: much material re-make from Motown artists in a new and nice way, after the collaboration with John Lennon in his "Rock'n'Roll" album. But the real cameo and great value of this is a nstrumental real masterwork of funky sound: "Affirmation" then also award Jose, for fifth time, like "Best Pop guitarist of the year" from Guitar Player magazine. A cover of this song is included in the great hit "Breezin" album by George Benson. After the low selling of this LP, Jose leave RCA for come to the unknow Private Stock records.

Again to date RCA don't release these wonderful songs and Album on cd ! Please write them to request Feliciano classics on CD: BMG Special Products - Ms. Betty Ann Rizzo - 1540 Broadway - New York, NY 10036-4098 (USA)

 

ORIGINAL BILLBOARD REVIEW - RECOMMENDED

Originally reviewed for week ending 7/5/75

Another nice effort from Feliciano, that touches all musical types. Expect play in the pop market, as well as soul and FM market for this one. His material runs the gamut from originals to soul standards by people like Smokey Robinson and the Temptations. There's even one instrumental cut on the album. Best cuts: "I Can't Get Next To You," "Ain't That Peculiar," "Rock'n'Roll," "No Jive."
