    I grew up on 70s country thanks to my mom. Great era for country and Freddie had a string of hits. "Before The Next Teardrop Falls" and "If You Lose Me You'll Lose A Good Thing" were big for him too. These songs bring back memories.

    Back in the 70's (when I was a kid) my parents would have parties on the weekend, drinking and dancing from friday night until saturday afternoon. This song got played at every single one of those parties. Sure brings back memories of me and my cousins playing upstairs, or watching scary movies while the parents partied in the basement. Great memories.

In his later years, he joined with musical legends Augie Meyers, Doug Sahm and world-renown accordionist Leonardo "Flaco" Jimenez to form the Texas Tornadoes. They churned out many regional Tex-Mex albums but toured the world riding the continued fame from that collaboration.

    Jamel thank you so very much for your reaction to Freddy Fender (Baldemar Garza Huerta.) Maybe you can follow it up with "Before the Next Teardrop Falls". My siblings and I grew up listening to his albums. Freddy was known as a Tejano, Country and Rock musician. He earned multiple Grammy nominations and won in 1990, 1998, 1999 and 2002 for Best Mexican American Album sometimes nominated on his own and other bands he performed with such as The Texas Tornadoes. He does have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. However, he so much wanted to be inducted as the First Mexican American into The Country Music Hall of Fame. In his hometown of San Benito, Texas they dedicated a water tower with his name and image. Freddy did act on occasion, he was in Robert Redford’s “The Milagro Beanfield War.” (some of my family members were extras) ” He was also on an episode of “The Dukes of Hazard.” My father asked me to thank you for the reaction. Thank you as always!

    He was born Baldemar Huerta in Corpus Christi Tx but back in the 50’s you weren’t successful with a Hispanic name so he became Freddy Fender. Before The Next Teardrop Falls Vaya Con Dios are other
    songs by him. Tim McGraw is a Freddy Fender fan he has a video with mariachi singing Who Were You Thinking Of it’s a cool video. The Texas Tornadoes have some fun songs and videos to see.

    This was my Great Grandfather Rutene's favourite song because of when his wife my Great Grandmother passed away. But their back together in those big white clouds in the beautiful blue skies. Now those blues he had has been passed down to me the 2nd Grandson of his Son. And I wear those blues with honour and heartache.

    My Aunt loved Freddy, so I grew up hearing him almost daily. Makes me smile to think of her dancing around her living room with her. I miss her, but listening to Freddy and a few other artists bring back the wonderful memories.

    Nice breakdown. This singer is/was from my hometown and you nailed the concept of this old school Mexican/American classic.

    Freddie was one of the few performers I met in person. He was playing a gig at a NCO club on Hickam Air Force Base in Hi back in the 70's. Not a lot of people in the club that night so he would sit at the table with me and my buddies between sets. Nice man and great singer

    I was about to make my first recommendations ever for a song but some one beat me to! Freddy Fender before the last tear drop falls you gotta hear it if you enjoyed this one! Last tear drop falls was my Granny’s all time favorite song all time favorite! Her favorite artist ever was Conway Twitty and even he couldn’t touch last tear drop falls! Freddy Fender I was introduced to his music by my grandmother! We lost her more than a few years back now! Every time I hear last tear drop falls I think of her and the smile she got as soon as the first note played!

    Wow, I'm from San Antonio, Texas. This blows me away to see a reaction vid for this song, not just a hit from the 70's, but for an iconic South Texas artist. Good on you for your research!

    I highly, highly recommend you check out and react to Freddy Fender performing *this song live* with the Tex-Mex Supergroup he was a part of called Texas Tornados with accordionist Flaco Jimenez and the 2 members Augie Meyers & Doug Sahm of the 1960s band Sir Douglas Quintet. They performed it at Austin City Limits.
