What a Beautiful Video! I'm in Tears! & so is my Dad a bit right now.
I listended to Freddie with my Dad mostly when I was a kid. I Love Freddie just as much!
Thank You So Much 4 The Upload 5 Stars & R.I.P. Freddie (You Have YouTube To Keep Your Memory Alive & Well as Dad & I are listening to you on Christmas Day of 2011)
Freddie is one of the greatest latin american singers who ever lived. With his high octave range and the ability to mix his music between English and Spanish to appeal to a large audience. His music spanned across many decades and is still highly played and known by most people living today. RIP Freddie. Your music will live on for many years.....
Good luck, or should I say "break a leg". I hope someone makes a movie of you singing, so you can put it on Youtube. Looking forward to see you sing!,
@LilOneLovesYou14 I guess your sister and your Dad are betting the under on this marriage. I am hoping your dad doesn't have to be there before the next teardrop falls.
Phil, thank you so very much for sharing this with us. I sing this song a lot. He has always been one of my favorite singers and this song is amazing. May God Bless you.
A SONG THAT CROSSES ALL BOUNDARIES IN MUSIC NO MATTER AGE OR NATIONALITY EVERYONE WANTS TO KNOW THAT SOMEONE OUT THERE LOVES THEM AND WILL ALWAYS BE THERE . LOVE THE ARTIST AND SONG . TO HIS FAMILY . YOU WHERE BLESSED WITH A PERSON WITH A GREAT VOICE. THANKS !!!!!!!!
I love everything about Freddie Fender. He was stage and I yelled I love you and he came over and was teasing me having the audience cracking up. He was the most humble wonderful person on state I had ever met and I'll never forget his kindess nor his beautiful voice and music. This is a great video and thanks for sharing Phillip.
IF SHE BRINGS YOU HAPPINESS, THEN I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST, IT'S YOUR HAPPINESS THAT MATTERS MOST OF ALL. BUT IF SHE EVER BREAKS YOUR HEART, IF THE TEARDROPS EVER START , I'LL BE THERE BEFORE THE NEXT TEARDROP FALLS.
How can anyone not like this??/Freddie is the Greatest.I live in Mexico now and would Love to find someone who can sing like this.God gets to listen to Freddie now.
My mother got married to my stepfather in 1976 when we still lived in Canada, my stepfather was from the netherlands and my mother and him met while he was on holidays in Canada. Anyways after the holidays for him were over and he had to leave he promised to write every week and after the first week indeed a letter arrived and a record, it was a freddy fender record with the htisong at the time, Before the Next Teardrop falls, back in those days when music was music and lovers had "their" song
I have always loved Freddie Fender and cried so much the day I heard he was dead. His voice is so haunting and so melodius. I have a CD of his concert in Laughlin, Nevada, and we play it so often at our house. Thank you for sharing his music with everyone to enjoy.
@vilmad007 Hi, was this the concert at the Riverside in about 1991?? If so, I was at the concert too. I was sitting right in front of Freddie and got to speak to him between sets. If this was the show, could you please send a copy of your cd? Regards, Nick
I remember my grandpa singing this to me on 8 track growing up. I will always cherish that memory, as I remember him now. Thank you for touching our lives.
THIS WAS THE FIRST SONG I HEARD OF HIM!! SINCE THEN I CONSIDER MYSELF A FAN PF THESE GREAT MAN!!! REST IN PEACE FREDDY FENDER!!! HE MAY BE GONE..... BUT HIS MUSIC WILL NEVER DIE!!!! THANKS FOR UPLOADING THIS VIDEO IS THE BEST SONG EVER!!!
It wonderful to see how many people have been touched by this great artist and his simple songs- que descanses en paz! y viva los chicanos y los mexicanos!!
Hearing this again reminded me of how much I liked Freddy Fender. It also brought back the Spanish I thought I'd all but forgotten. RIP Freddy, you were a gem. :)
Freddy sang the title song for the movie "The Border" with Jack Nicholson and Harvey Keitel, I forget the name...beautiful song, anyone out there know it? Thanks.
this song was dedicated to me by my old boyfriend Hector Zamarripa, who's heart I apparently broke many years ago when I decided to marry someone else. Well I've divorced and remarried and am very happy now, but I still remember my old boyfriend and how much he loved me when I hear this song. It brings me peace to know there was always someone out there who cared for me no matter what I was going through. thanks freddy! thanks Hector!
@nguerrero57 mm-m you appear to be a bad woman, leaving a good unconditional man to marry another. . . its nice to be loved unconditionally but how many can do it? would I love an evil bitc$ like that? don't know probably not. . .but if Freddy wrote a song like this one it shows he had a big heart, amen to that, may he rest with the Lord
Thumbs up if you came here because of the movie The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada. I love that movie. :) I've watched it 8 times and I'll gladly watch it 80 more. But that's it, I won't go for 81. lol. jk.
My father played this song a lot when I was growing up and it became one of my favorite song of all times. Today, I play my guitar and sing it all the time. That's how much I love it :) I am glad I get to see his video. I never knew who he was until now. Tnks :)
I was born in California with Mex parents it was not till in 1992 till we had to move to Mex i learn more about Traditional Music I only knew Ramon Ayala, Chente, the most notorious ones only it was not till i spend 5yrs in Mexico when i have learn more about my culture and roots and got the chance to meet my Great grand fathers and i have to say only if u get the chance to experience it by hearing it or living it live The Mexican music it is the best for me but got to say i do like all music! !
This is a wonderful song and I remember it being played on a 8 track player traveling to the pool for swim lessons in my neighbors car. One of the best songs of the 70's and of all time. This man should have been inducted into the country music hall of fame. I think it is a shame he wasnt before he died. I wonder does anyone know if one can contact them requesting he be inducted?
If I am not mistaken, from what I remember from a legendary country music program we had a score of years ago, Freddie Fender is from Mexico, and his real name is Valdemar Huerta.
Freddy re-invented himself several times. In the late 1940's and early 50's he was known as The Bebop Kid, then in the late 1950's he changed his name to Freddy Fender. It took awhile for mainstream U.S. audiences to take to him, but when they did they loved his sound. For good reason. He was one most talented tenor's in the world.
Freddie Fender was and will always be remembered as a great talented singer. He represents the best of both Mexican and American artistic expression in song. A sweet smooth velvety voice, without all the vocal gynmastics of today. We don't realize how good we had it when he was amongst us...If you are a member of his family and you read this I offer long belated condolences...I want to cry everytime I hear this song...He was a treasure. May GOD rest his soul...GOD Bless you all...:)
Your right, although many of us did realize it when he was alive..I was married to a Mexican lady who hated traditional Mexican music, but she loved Freddie, so went and saw him whenever he came to town..and he never failed to deliver..like you said, a great, great singer and talent..
si te quiere de verdad y te da felizidad le deseo lo mas bueno a los dos pero si te ase llorar a me me puedes ablar y estare con tigo cuando triste estes
A great talent and in my eyes represents what music from Texas should be like since a large portion or Texas was once Mexico. Tex Mex music! Trini Lopez has a similar sound.
Who doesn't like this 1? Show some respect, gang. The man's dead. Billboard's #4 hit of '75. Freddy hit #1 country, and, pop, #19 AC in Billboard. Dios te bendiga! RIP, Freddy!
He is my grandmother's cousin, they grew up together. I was born in Harlingen Texas. I finally youtube'd him while hearing my dad talk about him tonight, and I can definitely say that I love and appreciate his music :)
Well today is the 4th anniversary of FF's death. I knew him well while I was in Corpus. He is very missed but his music will always live on.We miss you my brother.
Relatively SHORT career? You need to read up on him. He had been singing since he was sixteen tears old & has a star on the American & German Walk of Fame.
my mother is his cousin. my moms last name is Huerta... he was related to VICTORIANO HUERTO,,,,HE WAS IN THE MEXICAN REVOLUTION,,,LIKE PANCHO VILLA AND EMILIANO ZAPATA MY MOM IS FROM TAMPICO TAMAULIPAS .. MY AUNT ENEDINA HUERTA AND MY GRANDMA ROSA HUERTA
Freddy Fender 's real name was Baldemar Garza Huerta he was born on June 4, 1937 in San Benito, Texas and died on October 14, 2006 in Corpus Cristis Texas, United States, He was an American Tejano, country and rock and roll musician, known for his work as a solo artist and in the groups Los Super Seven and the Texas Tornados. He is best known for his 1975 hits "Before the Next Teardrop Falls" and the subsequent remake of his own "Wasted Days and Wasted Nights".
@philipjobo Born to a family of migrant workers in San Benito, Texas, on June 4, 1937, his real name was Baldemar Huerta. He later adopted the professional name of Freddy Fender, borrowing the last name from the brand name of the electric guitar he played.
never knew that, yeah my mom use to play freddy when i was growing up, i remeber the music,, very cool, brings a tear to my eye know and rembering the old days....... Rip freddy!!
@philipjobo Didn't he have a brother named Bennie Bumper? Jes kidding. I loved Freddy's songs back in the 70's. Huerta actually did prison time in Louisiana's Angola prison for (oh my!) the heinous crime of possessing marijuana. The Beatles are lucky they didn't end up there, too, when they played in New Orleans.
@philipjobo HOW DID HIS WIFE LET THIS HUNK GET OUT OF THE HOUSE WITH NO WEDDING RING.IS HIS DAUGHTER FINISHED WITH HER BOOK ,I WANT ONE.HE WAS SO GREAT ,CANT GET ENUF OF HIS SINGING.HOW LONG WAS HIS LAST APPEARANCE BEFORE HE WAS TOO SICK TO GO ,3 MOTHS.PROBABLY THE MEDS FOR THE KIDNEY IS WHY HE COULDNT WIN OVER THE CANCER.ANSWER AT JO [JOMCON@GMAIL.COM]THANKS JO
Wow i happen to be listing to this song on the radio and looked on U tube I was amazed to see that we share same birthday 4th of June 19.. which means we are Gemini
@Jukeboxguy00 , he might have had 35 yrs total but he really only had a few songs on the country charts so basically his career was shorter than 35 yrs for him to gain fame
Thank you for removing distasteful remarks. I didn't see them, but have seen ignorance on other posts and find them annoying. Thanks for sharing Freddy with a song that others sang but didn't make a hit.
freddy fender was a great singer, and i love to hear him sing this song. I was so sorry when he passed away. please, no offensive remarks from anyone! God bless freddy fender
I had the chance to go visit his gravesite 2 yrs ago..The did him good..He was in the hospitalin corpus christy sick and dieing and he told them he wanted to die in his home town..SO they took him back..The water tower has his pic on it it is sooo pretty...
Holy cow! brings me back to my childhood when mom played this song on her 8TRACK!!! Great memories!! RIP Mom!! U 2 FreddY! Plz sing this song for her now that shes w U in heaven!

Nearly 50yrs is not a relatively short career, you obviously know little about him.

Relatively SHORT career? You need to read up on him. He had been singing since he was sixteen tears old & has a star on the American & German Walk of Fame.

@philipjobo Born to a family of migrant workers in San Benito, Texas, on June 4, 1937, his real name was Baldemar Huerta. He later adopted the professional name of Freddy Fender, borrowing the last name from the brand name of the electric guitar he played.

@philipjobo Didn't he have a brother named Bennie Bumper? Jes kidding. I loved Freddy's songs back in the 70's. Huerta actually did prison time in Louisiana's Angola prison for (oh my!) the heinous crime of possessing marijuana. The Beatles are lucky they didn't end up there, too, when they played in New Orleans.

@Jukeboxguy00 , he might have had 35 yrs total but he really only had a few songs on the country charts so basically his career was shorter than 35 yrs for him to gain fame
