I have decided to start a new section called 'Sweet Soul' as I felt like I wasn't showing soul music the love it deserves. So to open we have a tune by Jose Feliciano. Jose Feliciano is a Puerto Rican singer and guitarist. He was left permanently blind at birth due to congenital glaucoma, nevertheless he over came the effects of the impairment and went on to achieve critical acclaim around the world having many hit singles through out his long career. This tune is a cover version of the Mamas & Papas classic 'California Dreamin'' taken from his 1968 album 'Feliciano!' which features a selection of cover versions of classic 1960's hits. This is in my opinion one of the best versions ever made, he takes it to a completely different level. Also watch out for his cover version of Stevie Wonder's 'Golden lady' another unbelievable rendition. Click to listen:
