1968 World Series - National Anthem by José Feliciano On October 7,1968, at the height of protests against the Vietnam War, Feliciano was given the opportunity to perform "The Star-Spangled Banner" at Tiger Stadium in Detroit during Game 5 pre-game ceremonies of the 1968 World Series. His personalized, slow, latin jazz performance proved highly controversial. As a result of his unusual delivery, many radio stations refused to play his songs and his career stalled for almost three years.
