what a shame on Dec 9,1996 at 4:00 in the morning farron felt nashville had turned its back on him.and he shot himself in apartment #9.what a great loss to the world of country music.
Look on the bright side , when America goes broke, folks will have to get by with a whole lot less...This will drive them back to the "Good Earth" hopefully and this is where this type of music came from
What a great song and a singer....there are a few really good new artists out there trying to keep country alive....find them and support them. Hint: If they are singing on the radio chances are they aren't the real artists.
This was released in March of 1961..it became a MASSIVE hit record....it reached # 1 on the country charts...# 12 on the pop charts..and spent 23 weeks on the charts...a classic...

@LeCutter: im only 17 and i wish they would make songs like faron young did i was raised on classic country and id give up everything i own just to know that the music business was bringing the classic sounds back
Beautiful words, beautiful melody, and this is the first time only time I found out about Faron Young beautiful song and lovely voice. It makes me happy to listen to this song and put a smile on my face. I wish, there is a good gentleman somewhere with such good voice and romantic. Take care everyone.
Saw him at the Madison County Fair in Alabama in 1969. There was a tent with a handwritten sign that said free concert. I and a few friends walked in, only about 50 people in the place. Faron and his band put on one of the best shows I've seen for that small group. Great entertainer.
I met Faron Young at Webb Pierce's house over 35 years ago. Mr. Pierce had a bunch of fellows over from his church to play volleyball. I went in the kitchen and Faron Young was there to discuss a new song with Mr Pierce. He tried it out and Webb liked what he heard. Then they turned their attention to me. I was just getting my first Army assignment to FT Polk, LA. Both of them had been MP's at Fort Polk and got a big kick at hearing that that was where I was headed. Good, humble men.
Love this song my father use to sing this to me he new this song by heart he can't sing it to me any more he is with the lord. Miss you singing toe dad.
2:15 YouTube video: Faron Young singing his 1961 chart-topping single "Hello Walls" [#1 country and #12 pop] that also introduced its songwriter Willie Nelson to a national audience.
February 25, 1932: birth of Faron Young, American singer (d. 1996).
I love the story behind this song! You'd have to hear Willie Nelson tell it...he wrote it in 30 minutes. it was so funny to hear him ...what a great story...and a great song for him. Proud of you Willie!! ..he reall thought he'd struck it rich on this one...and he did make a fortune on it!!
Had the pleasure of hearing and meeting Faron Young in Uvalde, Texas at his concert there back in 1966. He was a very honorable and easy to like man. They tried to short change him on the fee and I remember him telling the saloon owner that he (Faron) owned a 14 story building in Nashville and didn't need the money, anyway. But he wasn't happy about it. Who would be? He had a fantastic voice and this young DJ was really proud to have the opportunity to meet a legend.

When I was a little girl (I'm 18 now), my dad had me listen to this song everyyy morning in the car on the way to school. This brings back soo many memories for me. :)
Thanks for sharing! Do you know where I can find an mp3 of this performance? All the versions I've found have male backing vocals, but I really like the female ones here.
@LeCutter very few and far between. this is the kind of gold and silver i grew up among. during the latter 70's, it was all CB radio and getting drunk and fighting and cheating. . .there are some really beautiful and meaningful songs nowadays, in all genres, but it's hard to find them. the advent of marketing to a particular audience, in my opinion, knocked out a lot of creativity. although my primary type of music is rock, i'd love to see this quality of country being made now. . .
My grandma and grandpa always plays this in the car whenever we drive . Each time when I hear it , it reminds me of driving past a lot of trees and corn crops and windmills in Minnesota.
lol..i always hated country music, till i worked at a restraunt that played classic country, it grew on me and i now go back 2 hear these songs that remind me of a time and place so dear 2 me, a place i can never go back 2, these songs remind me of what a special time and place that was....why cant we ever go back 2 a simpler time, lifes so hectic now??
how many of you know that this is a willie nelson song, he brought it to the sherrif and tried to sell it for $50.00. faron refused but said he would record it.
after it was a hit and willie had a $20,000 royalty check he gave the sherrif a big kiss right on the lips
@adman1048 "Hello walls" was released, March 1961, "Crazy" Oct. 1961, I made a mistake about the asking price though Willie offered it to Faron for $50.00 but Faron said he would record it and loan Willie $50.00 and ended up loaning him $500.00.
This song was written by Willie Nelson when he was a struggling songwriter/singer. He offered it to Faron for $500.00 but Faron said he wouldn't buy it but he would record it. Faron said that when Willie got his first royalty check "he kissed me right in the mouth" The check was for $20,000.00. Faron Young was an honorable man.
@woodymlawson From what I've heard Willie Nelson wasn't really struggling. With his "Crazy" (Patsy Cline) and other great tunes he was making a lot of money for those days..........but who knows
An AWESOME oldie! Thanks so much for posting! I've done this at karaoke a few times. While everybody else was doing contemporary stuff, I made the ballsy/ devil may care choice to do Faron Young. It brings the house down everytime! CLASSIC, CLASSIC, REAL COUNTRY!!!!!!!
@Caigul Well, I was just kinda thinking along those lines. They are kinda stationary to say the least. The gal to the right of the screen in the leapord skin dress is really beautiful but, doesent move much along with the others. I guess the producers wanted it that way ??
I was never a C&W lover but this was when C&W singers had a different styles from one another and this is on eof the great songs by a great preformer from that era.
. SURE WISH WE COUD PICK ALL OUR SONG'S ,THIS BEING ONE OF A MILLION, ALL ON A FEW DISK. NOT ALOT OF SONG'S I DON'T REALLY WANT TO HEAR.ENJOYED THANK'S. SNOWWHITEANGEL
@rick7531 Hey, it was a joke guy! And I can do so without profanity. By their fruits ye shall know them. And it's MR. Moron to you. At least I can spell it right. I like your joke too. :-P
@weatherboi Its a maroon, a different character than a simple moron, no hard feelings.And your scripture can be countered about being foolhardy. So who cares, I don't
this is what country music used to be.god bless faron young ray price and all the other legends who made country music enjoyable.just sit back and close your eyes and its almost like you were transported to a kinder,gentler,time in life.thankyou for posting this wonderful song and helping all of us to remember when music was something to treasure.
Thanks for posting this. This is REAL country. Most of what comes out of Nashville today is closer to pop or even rock then classic country. Oh how I love & miss the great country stars of yesteryear. So many performers today have a generic & cookie-cutter look & sound. The stars of yesteryear each had a very disctinctive voice & unique style. Thanks again...I'm in honky tonk heaven! :)
One day about 22 years or longers ago, I heard on the radio that Faron Young was really depressed and I believe he was 77, but he shot himself in the head. Such a sad ending for a great singer.
Praise the lord. I grew up listing to this and other older song's.This one i must have about 15 copy's,but really got into country when i was 15 yr's old now 59,when pop a top hit the charts, they don't make them any better. Thank's alot.
now he had a real voice! he is one of the best along with hank williams sr, jim reeves, patsey, and of course so many more! they were all soo great and they all had real voices
was shopping fo r'n'r in NEMS in 1961 when Brian Epstein who also knew i also liked country music suggested i listened to this,which i bought on the spot--classic!
this brings so memories back, from my childhood, my dad would sit up all night long and listen to this, and keep us up listening too, ain't no wonder I become a professional musician playing all of these songs lol.
@Tater1951 My Father was Bob Freeman "The Lonesome Stranger" I grew up on Country and Western Music, my Dad used to sing this song all the time. I grew up listening to Little Jimmy Dickens, Hawkshaw Hawkins, Willie Nelson, Porter Wagner, "The Man in Black", Ernest Tubb, and of course Hank Williams Sr. My Dad passed away last year prematurely at age 86. I can still hear him playing his Guitar. Oh by the way, I'm a black guy from the inner city.
@bangitslo Good to hear from a fellow Faron Young fan. My dad, who passed away in 2007 at the age of 89, played guitar almost all his life. He told me about playing on a local radio station in Dothan, AL with a couple of friends back in the late 1930's, before they all went off to war in 1941. His favorites were Jimmy Rodgers and, later, Hank Williams. Sounds like we liked some of the same artists, too. Jim Reeves and Patsy Cline were also favorites of mine. I miss those times. May God Bless you
@Tater1951 Oh my goodness, I forgot about Jimmy Rodgers. That's who my Dad considered to be the Greatest Country & Western Singer. Man o Man. I used to get teased by all the kids in my neighborhood because my Dad would come home from work (He was a Truck Driver) shower get dressed, put on his Cowboy Outfit and go play music at a bar called Hurley's Tavern in Marcus Hook, Pa. I guess it was so strange for them to see a Black Man in Country gear. Damn I miss my Dad!
@bangitslo Yeah, I remember how shocked most whites were when they first saw Charley Pride after only hearing him on the radio. We had all thought he was a white guy. Couldn't believe a black man could sing country songs with such conviction. Sounds like your dad was a trailblazer, too. I wish I could've met him. He must have been quite a character and a lot of fun to be around.
There were a number of features which characterised this wonderful era in country music. One notable frequent feature was the sweet tempo .. like in this superb song. The bass lines were also wonderful - again, as per this number. The vocalists excelled in their strong, driving sound .. each artist with a distinctive quality about them. Faron Young was one of the most distinctive .. well-within half-a-bar, one just knew it was him, bringin listening joy once again to an appreciative audience.
This is the country music my dad grew up on. The classics. And this the country i love, the country music of today isn't really country. It's more like pop/rock. Let's get country back to it's roots!
Great lyrics, pleasing sound. Try not to sing along it's almost impossible. Each time I hear it, I picture the lonely man lying in bed talking to "their" old room. On my list of all time country songs it's a top 10. Faron Young the BEST.
Real people singing, not actors pretending.

Thanks for posting this. This is REAL country. Most of what comes out of Nashville today is closer to pop or even rock then classic country. Oh how I love & miss the great country stars of yesteryear. So many performers today have a generic & cookie-cutter look & sound. The stars of yesteryear each had a very disctinctive voice & unique style. Thanks again...I'm in honky tonk heaven! :)

One day about 22 years or longers ago, I heard on the radio that Faron Young was really depressed and I believe he was 77, but he shot himself in the head. Such a sad ending for a great singer.

Faron Young was my favorite male country singer. He was definitely one of the best ever to grace the Grand Ole Opry stage.
Tater1951 1 year ago
@Tater1951 My Father was Bob Freeman "The Lonesome Stranger" I grew up on Country and Western Music, my Dad used to sing this song all the time. I grew up listening to Little Jimmy Dickens, Hawkshaw Hawkins, Willie Nelson, Porter Wagner, "The Man in Black", Ernest Tubb, and of course Hank Williams Sr. My Dad passed away last year prematurely at age 86. I can still hear him playing his Guitar. Oh by the way, I'm a black guy from the inner city.
bangitslo 1 year ago
@bangitslo Good to hear from a fellow Faron Young fan. My dad, who passed away in 2007 at the age of 89, played guitar almost all his life. He told me about playing on a local radio station in Dothan, AL with a couple of friends back in the late 1930's, before they all went off to war in 1941. His favorites were Jimmy Rodgers and, later, Hank Williams. Sounds like we liked some of the same artists, too. Jim Reeves and Patsy Cline were also favorites of mine. I miss those times. May God Bless you
Tater1951 1 year ago
@Tater1951 Oh my goodness, I forgot about Jimmy Rodgers. That's who my Dad considered to be the Greatest Country & Western Singer. Man o Man. I used to get teased by all the kids in my neighborhood because my Dad would come home from work (He was a Truck Driver) shower get dressed, put on his Cowboy Outfit and go play music at a bar called Hurley's Tavern in Marcus Hook, Pa. I guess it was so strange for them to see a Black Man in Country gear. Damn I miss my Dad!
bangitslo 1 year ago
@bangitslo Yeah, I remember how shocked most whites were when they first saw Charley Pride after only hearing him on the radio. We had all thought he was a white guy. Couldn't believe a black man could sing country songs with such conviction. Sounds like your dad was a trailblazer, too. I wish I could've met him. He must have been quite a character and a lot of fun to be around.

The timing this man had. OMG!!!! talent, No country singer today can touch him..

There were a number of features which characterised this wonderful era in country music. One notable frequent feature was the sweet tempo .. like in this superb song. The bass lines were also wonderful - again, as per this number. The vocalists excelled in their strong, driving sound .. each artist with a distinctive quality about them. Faron Young was one of the most distinctive .. well-within half-a-bar, one just knew it was him, bringin listening joy once again to an appreciative audience.

This is the country music my dad grew up on. The classics. And this the country i love, the country music of today isn't really country. It's more like pop/rock. Let's get country back to it's roots!

Great lyrics, pleasing sound. Try not to sing along it's almost impossible. Each time I hear it, I picture the lonely man lying in bed talking to "their" old room. On my list of all time country songs it's a top 10. Faron Young the BEST.
