thank you for sharing this video, although I did not know who the artist was, I knew his voice, it was distinctive. Lets hope he is still singing...to the angels.

This was a school project??? It's better than most network shit!

I really like how you ended it. "He deserves nothing but respect".

You sound like a very clever kid. Well done.

Freddy Fender was my first wife's favourite musician (She was a hispanic too!) Freddy Fender was a legend to a lot of people.

Thank you for the Bio on Freddy Fender, it was really enlightning. You are so right that at that time 'Tejanos' were not really accepted in the music industry and that is why Baltemar Huerta changed his name to 'Freddy Fender' after the Fender guitar and gained prominence in the country music genre when the "Anglos" accepted him. I am thankful that I got to know Freddy personally when I lived in Corpus Christi.
