Folks around here loved Freddy. He appealed to all genres - country, Tejano, easy listening, and some rock. We sure do miss him. RIP Freddy Fender

RIP Indeed! ❤

I gave him a ride to the airport when he stayed at the motel I worked at when he was here for a show, he is a very nice man, so sweet.

Before the next tear drop falls is a good one by him. When I started dating my husband 11 years ago not many people in my family liked him but my dad played this song for me and told me to follow my heart ❤️

He owns every song he sings. Yes. And a couple of us have requested Secret Love - that's my favorite Freddy song, it's so intense. But can you believe it was a DORIS DAY song, but now, as you say, Freddy owns it!!.

Well said and so true. When Freddy Fender sang a song it became his and all other versions, as good as they may be, just can't hold a candle to his!

He was really popular in the 70's & 80's.

He passed away some time ago.

18's year old back then , i think he's the first hispanic artist since Ritchie valens to cross into mainstream

He was born here in DEEP DEEP South Texas in a nice city called San Benito, Texas (about 45 mins from here) & close to South Padre Island.

Freddy Fender came into my life through my grandparents. Peace, Love, & Respect. 🫡🫡🫡

Man, this is my childhood music. Love him!

Freddy was known back in the day of singing some of verses in spanish. As a teenager I went out and brought his 8 track. LOL

You are telling our age with the 8 track

Makes you want to go back to 76 to this concert

I grew up listening to this. My grandmother loved Freddy Fender. What a wonderful flashback I hadn’t heard his music in so long. Now I’m downloading it. Thanks.

Thank you, Thank you! We love his voice and music. He had kidney dialysis at the same place as my step dad; he said he was a very kind and funny person, entertaining the patients while on dialysis!💖

Glad you are doing some more Freddy Fender. He was an American Tejano, country & rock & roll musician, known for his work as a solo artist and in the groups "Los Super Seven" & the "Texas Tornados". He was best known for his 1975 hits "Before The Next Teardrop Falls" & a remake of "Wasted Days & Wasted Nights". But he had some other great songs such as "Secret Love", "You'll Lose A Good Thing", "Since I Met You Baby", "Vaya Con Dios", "Livin' It Down" &"The Rains Came".

Agreed!!

Freddy Fender first recorded Wasted Days and Wasted Nights in 1959, then recorded it again in 1975 when it really hit big. Sometime in the mid 60's his band was named, Freddy Fender and the Hub Caps. Love it!!

I enjoyed his music. He brought a nice change to a very pop, country music.

In 1968 my mom met Freddie and me and my sister got his autograph I was only 4 at the time but he was part of the family. I don't think a day went by without hearing his albums.

Freddy has that unique wonderful smooth singing voice. What a treasure.

My mom and dad used to see him in the local clubs in the Rio Grande Valley. Great performer.

Secret Love...Another great, and heart felt one by Freddy.

I remember seeing and hearing him on Hee Haw in the mid to late 1970s. Awesome talent now gone the way of so many other greats. 😥

This reminds me of being a child and being at the local burger joint with my parents. They loved playing this song on the jukebox. I loved playing the old pinball machine. All of us loving the greasy burgers and fries with a big frosty glass of Pepsi.

@Renee thank you.. I love memories like that. Even others because it reminds me of great times..

He was one of the most famous Mexican Americans in America at the time. Tejano from Texas.

Great song! Mel looking fabulous today😊

My two locos! Mas Freddy! Arriyba!

Before the Next Tear Drop Falls is a phenomenal Freddy Fender song. Check it out y'all will appreciate it. Y'all Are Awesome keep doing what y'all doing.

Man I use to play this on the jukebox at a bar down in Tn and just sing with him and cry because my first wife and I had split up!

You two are the most likely reactors to view many different artists. You seem to have the widest variety! Great taste in music!

Ooh. I remember this one! It's been a while, and then some since I heard it. I like it. I like it a lot. ❤

When I was a little kid I thought he used to do Doritos advertisements as well as sing. Years later I discovered the actor on the ads was Avery Schreiber, LOL! Mom had a whole album of Freddy Fender when I was a little kid and this and "Before The Next Teardrop Falls" that y'all reacted to the other day were on it. :)

Glad you did this one

Freddy Fender broke so many barriers. Thank you for enjoying his music!

Never was a big country and western lover, but my older sister was and Freddy Fender was one of the few that I loved hearing, him and Glenn Campbell. 🥰

This was in the Netherlands! US country music was worldwide.

Watch the Tex-Mex band, The Texas Tornados, that Freddie was a member of one. Of the best bands ever.

Growing up in a Mexican family his music was always played by my aunties. Especially my aunt Georgia. May she RIP. He did have some good songs and could be heard in most bars and a lot of local bands covered his songs

Oh yeah! Haven't heard this in a long time! Great artist, great song! Thanks for reacting to it!

Freddy crossed all genres! We all sang along when he came in n the radio! ✌🏼♥️🎶

I remember as a young teenager, listening to my mother’s Freddy Fender cartridge tape over and over. Then back in the mid 90’s being heartbroken to learn of his one night show in town at the last hour. I loaded up my son to locate the venue which I never found. I wanted him to enjoy a fond memory. Needless to say, I never got the chance to see him while he lived but he lives on in my heart and thankfully in my son’s selection of musical taste. His tone of voice exceptional.

Freddy and his contemporaries of that era were just so good. This live performance is excellent, and there are some little differences from the record - just enough for you to know he's singing live. And that's the thing - the live performance being even BETTER than the record - just try to imagine that.now. Interesting that you mentioned Tell It Like It Is and Aaron Neville. Freddy played for a long time at Papa Joe's on Bourbon Street.and I got the impression he and Aaron were friends during that time. Freddy does Tell It Like It Is (I think the album is Swamp Gold) and mentions Aaron. Loved when he said Tell It Like It Is Little Brother (hisi usual way of calling for a solo) but don't make it cry too hard. That was so cool.

I love this artist. I love and miss this brilliant man.

I prefer 1975 studio version, but he first recorded this in 1960 apparently....

Ah, the 70s radio....it was on AM, they played everything....there was no division.....like it should be now...

When you've come this far with Freddy, you just have to listen to his 'You'll Lose a Good Thing', too : )

I've never seen Freddy Fender live on stage. That was really great. Thanks for the memories you two.

Try "Vaya Con Dios" or "Rain, Rain, Rain" If you like Freddy, you'll also like Johnny Rodriguez. "Love put a song in my heart", "Pass me by", "We believe in happy endings", "Ridin' my thumb to Mexico. He also did a few duets with Charly McClain. "You're a part of me", "I hate the way l love it", "l'm really me, You're really you". You haven't discovered her yet. I enjoy watching you two. I know when you say you like someone & you want to hear more... You're not lying. Because you dont forget about the singer. My favorite singer/song writer is Donna Fargo singing, "The Happiest Girl in the Whole U.S.A." or "Funny Face". You would enjoy these 2 songs. Miss Donna has many hits.

Great reaction! You’ve got to check out his song, “Secret Love!” It’s one of his best!

I used to love to rollerskate to this song.

He got his star name " Fender" from playing his guitar and playing his Fender Amp, so he called himself Freddy Fender

Freddy was awesome. But more importantly, I have never seen you look more beautiful Mel. The dark hair makes you look 10 years younger. Just stunning girl.

I love you both...I know all the songs ya'll put up and I love that ya'll experience all kinds of music...if music could be all day concert maybe...just maybe more people would get along...love yas. Keep on....

I grew up with that song in the 70's. But u gotta hear Freddy before when he was with the Texas Tornadoes! That baby rocks!!! I love it!! Their concert in Austin Texas LIVE.👍😉❤🙏

The .using in this song is almost in the blues category he has a voice like no other I've heard a class all its own

Ah classic old party song from when I was young picking up bottle caps around the families legs, hearing the clacking of bottles and the drunk singing of our nannies and aunties. What fun thoose days were

Freddy's voice was insane and soul piercing. I love all your content alot. Keep up the great work. 😎🔥🔥

freddy fenders, since i met you baby, best wedding song

WILL ALWAYS B MY FAC.. ARTIST

LEGENDARY

Baldemar Garza Huerta AKA Freddie Fender he had it all

One of my moms favorite songs after elvis of course. Chat with his son on Facebook. He's absolutely incredible - and has a wonderful sense of humor.

Good song great singer! Quite popular in the 70s.

I had to chuckle when I saw that you were doing Freddie Fender. I am now in my 60s. When I was a kid, and we listened to Freddie Fender on the radio, we would jokingly call him Freddie "Bumper". haha I really love his voice and his songs. Thank you for the flashback.

HE was GREAT 👍

Love you two!! Make me smile every day! Yes Mel you look especially fabulous today!!

I always loved Freddy

Freddy Fender love his songs! some more are [since I met you baby - I'm leaving it all up to you] thank you. S & M

This is my all time favorite song by Freddy.

I love this song.. I also love your intro and Mel you look fabulous as always..

From one Baltimorian to another you two are GREAT !

This brought back some memories. My mom would blast Freddie Fender when we would clean house...

Thank You for playing this , another great one by Freddy is " Secret Love ♥️

I love Freddie Fender!

As a kid my mother listened to all of this great old country music! All of it! She had all the 8track tapes and albums back then! She kept a radio on the kitchen counter,we had only one am country radio station there in Ardmore, Oklahoma at the time! That radio stayed on that station all the time!WBAP, I think was the radio station name!

Watching your reactions to these old classics gives me shiver’s.. I love it

The late great Freddy Fender ❤️❤️❤️

I actually watched him in concert in Illinois when I was a child. I even got to shake his hand at the end.

Freddy gives me chills. Always been a fan from way back in the day.

I saw him in concert around this time. Outstanding singer and performer! Love Mr. Freddy!

Y'all are probably tired of me saying all the songs you react to is my favorite. But they are all my favorite. I have thousands of favorites. Lol Freddy could really sing. Mama loved this song and again we'd be dancing in the kitchen. With 5 of us girls we were always in the kitchen. The boys weren't invited to our party. They were out numbered.

The pride of San Benito Texas, Baldomero Garza Huerta aka Freddy fender

Great songs as usual! Love all the songs you've played. Mel, love your hair, your beautiful!

A must check out Texas Tornados an all star Tex Mex band with Freddie and others(including Doug Sahm and Augie Meyers formed the The Sir Douglas Quintet)a deep rabbit hole if you wish to follow.

I love your reaction ❣️🤩 I requested Freddie fender I would love to see your reaction to Drinkin Thing by Cary Stewart love you guys 💜💜💜💜💜💜

Wow, I haven't heard Freddy Fender in years. My father was a big fan.

My husband had this little two step and dip to this song. He was do fine!

With every video you guys react to I love you 2 more!! Your so honest with your feelings

Hey y'all Freddy played with the Texas Tornadoes you should check out their song Hey Baby Que Paso.I have a distinct feeling you'll 💘 it.

Love this song ❤

He was very popular!

Freddie chose his stage name from the Fender amp he was using. Isn't his lisp cute? One of his other big hits was 'I'll Be There (Before the Next Teardrop Fall'). He later joined a superband called the Texas Toirnadoes, and one of their biggest songs was 'Who Were You Thinking Of?'

OH YES!! I love this song. I sing it karaoke as well. 😄❤️

I was 9...my mom and I would get on our bed and sing this to the top of our lungs...😅😅😅

Grew up with my dad playing Freddy. More Tex Mex rather than Tejano but was also a Country music star. Check out the supergroup he was in, the Texas Tornados.

His real Name is: Baldemar Garza Huerta. His life is fabulous to read about. Served in the Marine Corps, In 2001 was reported to be dead by Billboard, Served time in the Joint back when Marijuana was the hysteria of crimes..lol. Go read about him.!

Freddy was great! Also try (staind) something to remind you live version !
