Forty years ago, Jose Feliciano's anthem caused a stir
As wonderful as Whitney Houston's traditional take on the national anthem was at Super Bowl XXV (see post below), the most famous - or infamous - rendition ever performed at a sports event was Jose Feliciano's 40 years ago at the World Series in Detroit.
From a 21st century perspective, it's hard to believe what a controversy this caused.
If it were performed today, it would be considered creative and unusual and haunting, but certainly respectful.
