Freddy is one the Great Ones. He should be in the Country Hall of Fame--a shame. At least he has a Star in Hollywood, not too far from my home in Cali. I get crazy homesick for Barbacoa tacos, real flour tortillas and especially my great home state of Texas whenever I play his music. Before my next tear drop falls next time I play him, I bless him in Heaven with all my heart.

My heart still rejoices in the music of this great man. We rumba, we waltz, dance the rancheros and just reminisce. Freddy Fender and his music walked my whole young adult years, through my first true love to my present husband. His song lyrics mark the adventures of my life. I saw him in concert everytime I got the chance. Even had the opportunity to kiss his cheek and tell him I loved Him. My first date with my husband was to a concert at NMSU on the 4th of July. When he died, it was on my 11th wedding anniversary. I cried for a week straight, my children thought I was crazy! They just didn't understand. Christmas 2006 I took Baldamero Huerta CD to Mexico for Christmas and danced the week away, toasting my favorite. Today I'm working with His music "Close to my heart" cranked as loud as I can get away with....and today he's still my secret love! To God be the Glory for the things He has done for us. Thank you Lord for the beauty of this man, and for the music that lives on to bless our lives. To the Huerta Family I can only imagine how much you miss him, I pray that you have joy in remembering him. Con Carino...Siempre, Rita Jo

I grew up listening to him as a child but only recently started to appreciate his music.

His music lives on and is fantasic.

Excuse me I meant to say below
Charlie Jr. loved Freddy. . . .

Lets be fair to Charlie Rich Jr.

He attributes everything to Freddy and considered it an honor to be in his band
He called himself Alan Rich for a while
so not to take advantage of his father's name. Charlie Jr. came to Freddy's funeral. Where were the other memebers of the band??? Charlie Jr Freddy but Charlie Jr made his name by his own hard work.

I was a little girl and would hear your music because my parents would always play it and just loved the song wasted days and waste nights.

Don't do this things on this site ,it's a site for Freddy and fans ,not for this kind of things ,not for promotions and not to make fools of each other,it's a shame

Hi Freddy,
like you're hairstile and the mustage.

Update on my tribute performance to Freddy Fender at Apache Gold Casino in Globe, Arizona. I did 8 shows and the fans were very happy and appreciative.
The casino had a big billboard up in Globe and the local newspaper really
advertised it well. You are well loved
in Arizona Freddy. God Bless You.

We play Freddie's music every time we have a party, and then some. Joe especially loves Freddie's version of Jumbalya--- Hope to get to the museum in the spring.

Hello Freddy Fender family and fans. The
word must be getting around about my tribute preformance to Freddy Fender at Apache Gold Casino in Globe, Arizona now has now been extended from Dec 7-8 thru Dec. 10-11, 2007. If you can come out and catch the show. I promise that I will do my best to bring him that which he deserves and that is everlasting fame and praise and make his family and fans proud. God Bless you Freddy!

I want to let the family of Freddy Fender know how much his album "Coming Home" has meant to me and my family. My brother was very ill and this album was a great comfort to him. The hymn "Jesus Loves Me/Alleluia" was sung by my daughter and her husband at my brother's funeral. It truly was a testiment to our love of Jesus. Freddy was so talented and I know he has the peace of Jesus. I bless him for writing his beautiful music.

I have been a fan of Freddy Fender ever since I first heard his songs. I know he sang some under a different name and I have tried all my life to get the song titled "Only One" I have called Music and Record stores all over Texas and still I cannot come accross it. My wife and I will celebrate our 33 Wedding Anniversary and it was the song "Only One" playing the day I met her in El Paso. I would like to play it for her at our Wedding Anniversary. Freddy we miss you and you will remain in our hearts forever.
