What's the name of José Feliciano's third album with "The Star Spangled Banner"?
It appears on two later albums: "Definite Best..." from 2001 and "God Bless the U.S.A." from 1995.
The third Jose Feliciano album is "Fantastic Feliciano", but it doesn't have the Star Spangled Banner on it. I don't find it listed on any of his albums in the 60s or 70s (that fucker released a ton of albums), but his controversial (at the time) performance of it was in Tiger Stadium in Detroit in 1968, about a year before Hendrix's famous rendition. Feliciano's version was released as a single, but I'm not sure if it was the same year or in 1969. It first showed up on a full length on a greatest hits compilation called "The Definite Best..." in 2001.
