I met Freddy in Memphis, TN along time ago (late 70s/early 80s). He was playing at The Midsouth Fair. My favorite song was "Before the last teardrop falls". Freddy's family will be in my thoughts and prayers. We lost a great entertainer. Just remember there is no tears in heaven. We lost my brother 11 weeks ago. I know James was at the gate of heaven, welcoming Freddy home.
