From wikipedia:
In 1968, at the height of protests against the Vietnam War, Feliciano was given the opportunity to sing the Star-Spangled Banner during the World Series. His highly personalized, slow, Latin-jazz performance proved highly controversial. Some called his rendition unpatriotic and a disgrace; some called for his exportation. Others understood the emotions and sincerity of his performance, and he emerged as a counterculture hero. The rendition was released as a single which charted for 5 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #50.
Feliciano's Star-Spangled Banner took place 10 months before the now famous Jimi Hendrix rendition at Woodstock.

Jose Feliciano was mentioned several times by many commentators on R. Kelly's version of the national anthem before a major boxing match last week... complete with high stepping dancers and a break in the song for "Put your hands together". I was kind of stunned myself at the unintentional comedy level while the crowd reacted pissed.
