Just this Saturday, we were being entertained by someone singing Freddy Fender's song at my grandparents' 60th anniversary party. I was shocked to hear the news this morning.
Thank you, Freddy, for providing music that I linked to childhood memories of my father (who died in 1981) singing, "Wasted days and wasted nights, how I left for YOUR BEHIND".

He was an immigrant from Mexico, and tried to improve his English through your music!
