From the hills of Puerto Rico to the streets of Spanish Harlem to the world stage, Jose Feliciano - Behind This Guitar chronicles the continuing 55+ year career of 8-time Grammy winner Jose Feliciano: the first-ever Latin crossover artist, the first to stylize the national anthem, and one of the most underrated singer/guitarists of all time.

Known for his hit Feliz Navidad, his Grammy-winning rendition of Light My Fire, and the theme song to Chico and the Man, his global musical significance is undisputed.
