José Feliciano (b. 10 September 1945) is a Puerto Rican musician, singer and composer.
Through the Perilous Fight
In a November 2017 NPR broadcast, he expressed pride at being the one to open the door for artists who could later interpret the nation's anthem. – Wikipedia
By singing "The Star-Spangled Banner"
In a most unconventional manner,
He created a novel tradition
Where singers are given permission
To give their own personal flair
To our bellicose national air.

From the Bottom of My Heart
Each year during the Christmas season, "Feliz Navidad" remains one of the most played and most downloaded songs of the season. – Wikipedia
Wherever a Christmassy shopper may trod
They’ll never escape from “Feliz Navidad,”
It will always be with them, at least in the near term
As a bright inescapable holiday earworm.
It’s ubiquitous presence will cheerfully vex them
Whenever the urge to go shopping infects them.
