[dgarvin11]

What is real name.He is Latino,and I know it can't be Freddy Fender.

[raunchy1313]

@dgarvin11 i wonderd that my self,so i wikkipedia it,this is what i found out,

he was born Baldemar Garza Huerta,

he changed his name to f fender (after the amps)

in 54 he join the marines in 56 he was court martiald (it didnt say why)

and in 60 he was sent to angola for "nearly three years"for possession of weed

[lunitax23x]

@dgarvin11 You can be a Latino with a non Spanish last name. It happens people mixed different last names and they just got stuck in the family.

The answers to the questions Feddy asked is because of True Love

[MsLovegeorge]

One of country's best and will always be on our favorite list. This song was hot when I went through a broken engagement and still cry when I hear it. Men can be so cold and then people wonder why hearts are damaged!

[flavorina]

When I feel down-hearted, I play this youtube concert w Freddy. Thanks mightyduc998. To jetlag2000: Why is it that some great arrtists succumb to alcohol or drugs? I think thry "feel" much more than the normal robots.

[mikeyboot1009]

He was one of a kind

[MsSweetCyn]

@mikeyboot1009 was a bad ass mexican that luvd to party! Damn good singer!

[mightyduc998]

just an awesome song,and a timeless performance by an unforgetable artist.

[vilmad007]

Just love the guy..........listen to his music regularly even today. RIP Freddie, we love you and will never forget you.

[purrrfect15]

He was buried in his hometown of San Benito. His family is committed to continue the Freddy Fender Scholarship Fund and other philanthropic causes which the musician was passionate about. Doesn't sound like he was drunk and broke, but maybe....

[purrrfect15]

He had a kidney transplant in 2002 donated by his daughter & a liver transplant in 2004. But, his condition continued to worsen. He was suffering from an "incurable cancer" in which he had tumors on his lungs. December 31, 2005, he performed his last concert & resumed chemotherapy. He died in 2006 at the age of 69 of lung cancer at his home in Corpus Christi, Texas, with his family at his bedside.

[barrymotex]

Freddy's first contest win was for a sack of food ... It was hard times in hot dusty south texas... San Benito ...Robstown ... Corpus ..

Freddy , Albert , Pete and others dreamed and achieved their even short success at a time when the door was pretty much shut for poor boys from migrant worker towns.

They did not forget where they came from and tried to help others. I remember them.

Vaya Con Dios

[1questionable]

Larry Rosa we love ya boy.

[maddog59069]

Rest in Peace San Benito, Texas Boy....

Great Song.

[fsmakela]

Is Freddy Fender still alive?? Never hear much about him, good or bad!

[Jetlag12000]

@fsmakela No Freddy passed away a few years ago. Unfortunately alcohol was his demon and he died broke and drunk. How sad.

[sidcabral]

The spanish elvis,this guy is awesome

[missmonaro]

[shadowphurba]

30, yes 30 unsoul gutless fools are Wasted Days and Wasted Nights, because this a beautiful great song, sang by the one and only freddy fender. may his rest in peace, and now the lord can hear him sing in heaven. :)

[ahpeng07]

[amyhazlewood72]

My daddy loves Freddy Fender....we would ride around on Sundays just listening to him on the 8 track tape! Man those were the days! Awesome memories! Love you daddy

[Glendamay45]

There will only be one Freddy Fender. Still gives me goose bumps.

[flavorina]

I love it that someone in South Auckland, New Zealand knew Freddy!

I used to ask my salsa dance teacher (gay hispanic) to play this. He would revolve me around the dance floor making giant swoops until I couldn't hold it anymore. He took me to the ladies' room cuz I was laughing so hard. --Maria from Houston (not hispanic).

[skviilicious]

I remember my dad back in the 70's in Sth Auckland New Zealand along with all the uncles drinking and singing along to this while my dad plays it on the guitar...good memories...a million thumbs up!!!!

[dannysnow47]

Hi,

ya, though I have been very lucky trough out my musical career playing with Freddy was certainly one of the high points

[jerrettfan]

My father played country music when I was a kid he had his own band and he did Freddie the best. I love his music

[dannysnow47]

I had the pleasure to be Freddy's drummer for all of his east coast shows back in 1981 and 1982....Certainly a highlight in what has been a wonderful career in the music business.. ...........written 02/11/2011 dannysnow47@att.net

[rocklvr71]

@dannysnow47 What a thrill that must have been. He was such a talented singer, and sang with passion. I may be a huge classic rock lover, but I was raised on country records from the 50's, 60's and 70's (as well as doo wop). I can only imagine what a great experience it must have been for you to have played with one of country music's greatest.

[theguycansing]

@dannysnow47 Must have been,some kinda fun,My man!

[yrogergssor]

@dannysnow47 And it's surely a pleasure to have Freddy's drummer commenting on here!!!!

[TheMiserysCompany]

My MOTHER married my father cause he looked like Freddy..lmao

[cooldog60]

[64alleykat]

my grandma loved this music. she used to have all of us (her grandchildren play this over and over again on her hi-fi, which she called a (hi-five).  Thanks for posting this great old music and bringing back so many memories of my childhood, much better times. we all love and miss you grandma Aurella.

[vicky75888]
