'''Cheo Feliciano''' (3 July 1935 – 17 April 2014) was a [[Puerto Rican people|Puerto Rican]] [[Singing|singer]] and [[composer]] of [[Salsa music|salsa]] and [[bolero]] music.  Feliciano was the owner of a recording company called "Coche Records". He was the first tropical singer to perform at the "Amira de la Rosa Theater" in [[Barranquilla]], [[Colombia]], and in 1987 he played the role of [[Roberto Clemente]]'s father in the musical ''Clemente''.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://edition.cnn.com/2014/04/17/showbiz/cheo-feliciano-obit/index.html|title = Salsa legend Cheo Feliciano dies in car wreck))</ref>

==Early years==
Feliciano (birth name: '''José Luis Feliciano Vega'''<ref group=note>((family name hatnote|'''Feliciano'''|''' Vega'''|lang=Spanish))</ref>) was born in [[Ponce, Puerto Rico]], where he was raised and educated. His parents were Prudencio Feliciano and Crescencia Vega.<ref>((cite news|url=http://www.primerahora.com/entretenimiento/musica/nota/poncenoslamentanlamuertedecheofeliciano-1003404/|title=Ponceños lamentan la muerte de Cheo Feliciano|newspaper=Primera Hora|author=Texidor, Darisabel|date=17 April 2014|accessdate=18 April 2014))</ref> As a child, he was nicknamed "Cheo" by his family - a colloquial version of his name José, normally used by close friends and family. However, the name stuck and became part of his everyday name (using the nickname avoided confusion with [[José Feliciano]], another major Puerto Rican singer to whom he is not related). At a young age he was influenced by the bolero music of the [[Los Panchos|Trio Los Panchos]]. When he was only eight years old he formed his first group with his friends and named it "El Combo Las Latas". They were so poor that their musical instruments were made out of cans. After finishing his primary education, Feliciano attended the [[Instituto de Música Juan Morel Campos|Escuela Libre de Música Juan Morel Campos]] in Ponce, where he studied percussion.<ref name="I">[http://www.descarga.com/cgi-bin/db/archives/Interview18 Interview] Descarga.com.

==Musical career and singing debut==
In 1952, Feliciano moved with his family to [[New York City]] and settled down in [[Spanish Harlem]]. Here he auditioned as a percussionist in the "Ciro Rimac's Review" band - giving him his first professional musical job. [[Bandleader]] [[Tito Rodríguez]], heard Feliciano play and offered him a job in his [[orchestra]]. He accepted, but after playing for some time with Tito, he left the band to play the [[conga]] for Luis Cruz. Despite leaving, he always remained on friendly terms with Tito. Feliciano also played percussion for [[Kako (musician)|Kako]] y su Trabuco orchestra. He was also a [[roadie]] for [[Mon Rivera]].<ref name="I"/><ref name="M"/><ref name="S"/>

In 1955, Rodríguez found out that [[Joe Cuba]] was in need of a singer for his sextet. Aware that Feliciano was also a talented singer, he recommended Cuba that he try out for the position. Feliciano auditioned and became a vocalist for the Joe Cuba Sextet. He was the rare [[baritone]] among salsa singers, and his deep voice and quick wit as an improviser made him a favorite among the Latino public.<ref name="I"/><ref name="M"/><ref name="S"/>

On October 5, 1957, Feliciano made his professional singing debut with the Joe Cuba Sextet, singing the song "Perfidia". He remained with the sextet for 10 years. In 1967, he joined the [[Eddie Palmieri|Eddie Palmieri Orchestra]] and sang for them for two years. However, at the same time he began using drugs at 21 years old.<ref>[http://noticias.univision.com/article/1923401/2014-04-17/gente-en-las-noticias/las-batallas-de-cheo-feliciano-mas-alla-de-la-musica ''Las batallas de Cheo más alla de la música.''] Univision. 17 April 2014.

He decided to quit drugs "cold turkey" and eventually joined Puerto Rico's rehabilitation center, [[Hogares CREA]]. Feliciano credits [[Tite Curet Alonso]], the author of most of his hits and his best friend, with pushing him through his rehabilitation. As a result, he was a vehement anti-drug spokesperson, who volunteered to assist in the rehabilitation of fellow salsa artists who fell prey to drug addiction.<ref name="I"/><ref name="M"/><ref name="S"/>

==Return to music==
In 1971, Feliciano came back to music with the album ''Cheo'', his first solo recording. The album, which featured compositions by Feliciano's friend Tite Curet, broke all sales records in the Latino music market. The album included:
*"[[Anacaona]]" and
*"Mi Triste Problema"
During the 1970s, Feliciano recorded fifteen albums for [[Fania Records|Fania Record Co.]] and had hits with "Amada Mia" and "Juan Albañil". He also recorded one of his first albums [[bolero]] music titled ''La Voz Sensual de Cheo''. The album was recorded in Argentina, with a band directed by [[Jorge Calandrelli]]. Feliciano also participated in the first salsa [[opera]] ''Hommy''.

In 1982, Feliciano started his own recording company called "Coche Records". In 1984, he was honored by artists like [[Rubén Blades]] and [[Joe Cuba]] in a concert entitled ''Tribute to Cheo Feliciano''. The next year, he became the first tropical singer to perform at the Amira de la Rosa Theater in [[Barranquilla]], [[Colombia]].  In 1987, he landed the role of [[Roberto Clemente]]'s father in the musical ''Clemente''.<ref name="I"/><ref name="M"/><ref name="S"/> Feliciano also became a hit in Spain, and was a regular in the Tenerife Carnival. He also sang in the 1992 Universal Exposition in [[Seville]].<ref>((cite news|url=http://www.orlandosentinel.com/elsentinel/cheo-feliciano-biografia-20140417,0,4773862.story|title=Una vida de salsa y bolero: su biografía|newspaper=Orlando Sentinel|date=17 April 2014|access-date=17 April 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140419025509/http://www.orlandosentinel.com/elsentinel/cheo-feliciano-biografia-20140417,0,4773862.story|archive-date=19 April 2014|url-status=dead))</ref>

In 1990, Feliciano recorded another album of [[bolero]] music, titled ''Los Feelings de Cheo''. He also traveled all over Europe, Japan, Africa, and South America. In Venezuela, he had a reunion with Eddie Palmieri. In 1995, Feliciano won a Platinum Record Award for ''La Combinación Perfecta''.<ref name="I"/><ref name="M"/><ref name="S"/>

In 2000, Feliciano recorded ''Una Voz, Mil Recuerdos'' as a tribute to various Puerto Rican singers. The album was listed among the 20 outstanding recordings of the year by the National Foundation of the Popular Culture of Puerto Rico. In 2002, he recorded ''Cheo en la Intimidad''. In 2012, Feliciano and [[Ruben Blades]] released a collaboration album titled ''Eba Say Aja'' where both artists performed each other's previously recorded songs. In the same year, Feliciano became part of [[Sergio George]]'s group called Salsa Giants whom he was touring with at the time of his death.<ref>[http://voxxi.com/2014/04/17/cheo-feliciano-dead/ ''Cheo Feliciano: Farewell to a salsa and bolero icon.''] Voixx.com [https://web.archive.org/web/20140419012518/http://voxxi.com/2014/04/17/cheo-feliciano-dead/ Archived] on 19 April 2014.</ref> Feliciano was very active and continued traveling and performing all over the world until his last day.<ref name="I"/><ref name="M"/><ref name="S"/>

==Personal life==
Feliciano met Socorro "Cocó" Prieto León in New York, when she was 15 years old. They married on October 5, 1958 and had four children together. Feliciano dedicated his 1993 album, ''Motivos'', to his wife.<ref>((cite news|url=http://www.elnuevodia.com/porsiempreserasuamadacoco-1755315.html|title=Por siempre será su amada Cocó|newspaper=[[El Nuevo Día]]|author=Vargas, Patricia|date=18 April 2014|access-date=18 April 2014|archive-date=26 December 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141226110225/http://www.elnuevodia.com/porsiempreserasuamadacoco-1755315.html|url-status=dead))</ref>
