Puerto Rican singer and guitarist José Feliciano's 1970 Christmas album yielded not only the biggest hit of his career, but one of the most enduringly popular Christmas pop songs of all time in the eternal "Feliz Navidad." Originally released by RCA Victor under the title José Feliciano, it later bore the name of its signature track, Feliz Navidad, when BMG reissued it on CD in 2001 along with three additional tracks ("Las Posadas," "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," and "O Come All Ye Faithful") that hadn't made the cut the first time around.
Leading off with "Feliz Navidad," Feliciano's only original song of the set, the album also includes versions of holiday carols and pop classics like "The First Noel," "Little Drummer Boy," and "White Christmas," all arranged in the guitarist's distinctive Latin pop style.
