Jose Feliciano is celebrating the 50th anniversary of his bilingual Christmas classic 'Feliz Navidad' by releasing a new version featuring Jason Mraz, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Shaggy and more.

Musician Jose Feliciano performs during the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize tribute concert on March 13, 2019. LOS ANGELES -- Jose Feliciano is celebrating the 50th anniversary of his bilingual Christmas classic "Feliz Navidad" by releasing a new version featuring Jason Mraz, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Shaggy and more.

The 75-year-old Puerto Rican singer-songwriter says that back in 1970, he never imagined the song's catchy but minimalist lyrics -- just six words in Spanish, 14 in English -- would become a holiday standard. It was part of Feliciano's 1970 self-titled holiday album, later renamed "Feliz Navidad." He says "We Three Kings" and "The First Noel" served as inspirations.
