Although his biggest English-language hit, "Light My Fire", reached the top ten on the pop charts in the US, Canada, and the UK, it is his Christmas song "Feliz Navidad" that has returned to the charts in several countries every holiday season for much of the new millennium.
In 1979, Feliciano recorded a spontaneous version of his 1968 hit "Light My Fire" as a duet with rhythm and blues/pop singer Minnie Riperton. The duet was included on Riperton's final studio album for Capitol Records. Riperton died of cancer two months after its release.
Feliciano capitalized on the controversy by releasing his Anthem performance as a single, and it reached #50 in the US. In 1968, Buick offered The Doors $75,000 to use this song in a commercial as "Come on Buick, light my fire." With Morrison away, Krieger, Densmore, and Manzarek agreed to allow it.
