Like Sonia A, I grew up listening to Freddy Fender's songs as everyone was drunk but his songs never reminded me of bad memories, only of a most awesome and distinct voice that will live on forever no matter where the world ends up! God Bless and Keep Freddy Fender! To his family and friends, your lives were only blessed and enriched for a brief moment and you are better for having him in your lives. As it is said, "God only takes the Best!" Rest in Peace
