"This 3CD set imported from Australia to the rest of the world compiles 50 great songs from one of the greatest musicians in the history of popular music. This collection brings most of the big hits that Jose recorded from his years with RCA 1965-1975. There are some great songs missing but considering all of the many compilations that they have of Jose's Greatest Hits out there this is probably the best one to get an at a very affordable price. This collection does bring a few classics that have never before been release on CD like "Simple Song" "Life Is That Way", "Adios Amor", "Wichita Lineman" "Younger Generation" and a few others. It also brings such Feliciano classics as "Light My Fire" "California Dreamin'" "Rain", "Sunny", "Chico And The Man" and others. This is a great career overview documenting the great songs of an artist who is a considered a universal inspiration to many people all over the world. Jose Feliciano is soul,passion,and emotion not to mention incredible sensitivity to express what he feels in his songs. He has often been called the greatest living guitarist in the world and one of the finest voices in music I couldn't agree more. This compilation comes with a track listing of all the songs and a one page liner note on Feliciano's life and career achievements. FELICIANO is the sound who lit the fire of a whole generation in the laste 60's and early 70's. This CD set is called LEGENDARY and that fits him well because Jose is a living legend no doubt."

Great selection, but.....

"Great selection of Jose's material--gotta love his cover versions of some great 60's classics. But the sound quality sucks! Lots of snaps and static, about what you'd expect from a budget re-release of an old 70's album. Not the quality you'd expect from a new, remastered collection."
