José Montserrate Feliciano García (born September 10, 1945) is a Puerto Rican singer and guitarist. He was left permanently blind at birth due to congenital glaucoma. Feliciano overcame the effects of this impairment to score many international hits.

In 1966, he went to Mar Del Plata, Argentina, to perform at the Festival de Mar Del Plata. There, he impressed RCA Victor officials who told him to stay there to record an album in Spanish. They weren't sure what they wanted to record, but Feliciano suggested they record bolero music. The result was two smash hits with the singles Poquita Fe (Little Faith, a.k.a. Sin Fe, or Without Faith), a song written by fellow Puerto Rican Bobby Capó, and Usted (the formal way to say "you" in Spanish).
