Where it came from
Released in 1968, this 45 RPM single represents a pivotal moment in José Feliciano's career as he transitioned into mainstream North American prominence. The record features Feliciano's unique guitar-driven arrangements, which blended his Latin roots with blues and soul influences. At the time, RCA was actively promoting his work to a broader pop audience, capitalizing on his burgeoning reputation as a formidable guitarist and vocal stylist.
The B-side, a rendition of 'Hi-Heel Sneakers,' showcased Feliciano's ability to reinterpret established blues standards with his signature rhythmic intensity. The track was recorded during a period where Feliciano was working closely with producer Rick Jarrard, a collaboration that sought to refine his sound for radio play. The design of the sleeve and label followed the standard RCA aesthetic of the era, prioritizing clarity and branding as the artist moved from club settings to major label exposure.
