José "Cheo" Feliciano was born on 3 July, 1935 and took his first formal steps into the field of music as a student Free Music School in his native Ponce, Puerto Rico. At the age of 17, he moved with his family to New York where he began his professional career as a percussionist with a band known as "Ciro Rimac's Review".

On October 5, 1957, Feliciano made his professional singing debut with the song "Perfidia". He sang for the sextet for a total of 10 years. During those years, he enjoyed successes with the following "hits",:

* "A las Seis" (At Six),
* "Como Ríen" (How They Laughed),

* "El Ratón" (The Mouse), which he composed.

During the 1970s, Feliciano recorded for the "Fania Record Co." and had "Hits" with "Amada Mia" (My Love) and "Juan Albañil".

In 1982, Feliciano formed his own recording company called "Coche Records" and in 1985 he became the first singer of tropical themes to perform at the Amira de la Rosa Theater in Barranquilla, Colombia.

In 1990, he recorded his first album of boleros title "Los "Feelings" de Cheo". Feliciano traveled and performed in many Latin American countries including Cuba and Venezuela.
