I believe Faron may have been hiding his depression with his amazing sense of humor. The highlight of this clip is when he jokingly asks the viewers to send dates and we'll work for money. He and his counterparts of the 1950's and 60's generation were being shoved further and further into the back corner and didn't have very much, if any significant relevance in the genre by 1991. (Which is extremely unfortunate) I think this ultimately led to his severe depression and feeling of betrayal by Nashville. He also mentions the new stars of the current time period, and their salaries, lifestyles, etc... The times had changed immensely in the 30+ years since Faron had started out, and it was really the very very early stages of the demise of what we now know as country music. I cannot imagine what Faron Young would be thinking in 2017, because it is such a shame what has happened to the music that both he and I, love. Bless you, Faron and rest in peace.
As a former DJ I played many of f a r o n s Records but one day I was riding down the road in my truck listening to WSM when I heard the news I remember I just pulled over on the side of the road and cried rest in peace. Faron
RIP Ray Price (January 12, 1926 - December 16, 2013), aged 87 And RIP Faron Young (February 25, 1932 - December 10, 1996), aged 64 You both will be remembered as legends.
I had a steak dinner with faron at his bar in Nashville he came to my table and sit down and I had no idea who he was a few minutes later the band ask him to come up and sing and I said u mean they will let u sing in here and he smiled and said sometimes they do when he came back to sit down I looked at him and I said may I ask why u have one yellow sock and one green sock on. He laugh and said honey I'm color blind. Anyway it was a fun and lovely eve.
Country music today. The occasional hints at a banjo, maybe the whine of steel guitar in the back, and a slight drawl...that's about the only thing that really separates it from pop. It just doesn't have the soul or the grit that country music used to have. There's good country being made today, just don't expect it at the Opry or on your local radio station.
I never will ever forget Faron Young my mom said to my dad that Faron Young was one of the most handsome men in country music OMG they almost got a divorce over that my dad was very mad about what she said just thought I would share that
I first saw Far on at a county fair in Wisc. His opening act was the very talented Penny DeHaven who I became a big fan of. She should've been a bigger star!!
I didn't remember that but it made me so sad. I loved his voice and his songs He was also pretty funny. He felt like his life was over and he was washed up. What a great loss. Still sad.
@@marilynkopecky8294 Hello!!! How are you doing today! Please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you're a fan!....Stay safe!!
Absolutely hilarious interview with the Young Sheriff taking full control of the proceedings - what a man who was so talented and a magnificent performer. I thought Ray Price was gonna bust his britches laughing. I would have given a Bar of Gold to just sit and have a coffee with him. Remind me not to go to Firestone!
I truly loved Faro and Ray even as a little girl.i would go around singing there songs,that why I'm listening tonight . I miss all the artist of that time and era.My mom and dad always had a radio playing outside walk in house country music playing there.plus my dad played to quit are with my unc on fiddle and maybe others.miss it so much.💞 so glad to hear Ray s talk to your heart.💖. Hadn't heard it for ages.play it you'll love it.miss you Faron,Ray .
I my humble opinion, Faron ranks up there with Marty Robbins, and Jim Reeves. Faron was an incredibly talented singer. He was such a personable and well liked guy, something awful must have driven him to commit suicide.
2packs4sure There is the video I uploaded last year of Faron and Ray singing together and then there is just Faron singing, would like the one with just Faron performing uploaded as I mostly only upload Ray? Let me know and I'll upload it when I get a chance.

+Steve Endicott I didn't know him, first time I saw him, if I find out when I get time to scroll through the video, I'll let you know. He was just filling in for someone if I remember correctly.

You are so right my friend it was very sad the way he passed ...

I think you’re right.

And
RIP Faron Young (February 25, 1932 - December 10, 1996), aged 64
You both will be remembered as legends.
Faron Young had such a quick mind. Just no slowing him down.
I had a steak dinner with faron at his bar in Nashville he came to my table and sit down and I had no idea who he was a few minutes later the band ask him to come up and sing and I said u mean they will let u sing in here and he smiled and said sometimes they do when he came back to sit down I looked at him and I said may I ask why u have one yellow sock and one green sock on.

He really liked those socks . . .
He even had another pair just like
'em at home in his Sock Drawer !
Faron was an entertainer. He had his demons but was beloved in my house growing up.
Hello!!! How are you doing today! Please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you're a fan!....Stay safe!!
I love these two and Faron was a good friend to my husband, he was a loving caring man, alot of people did not see that. Widow of KenAllen
He was loving and caring alright, as long as you were white. Excepting Charlie Pride, maybe, he was a racist fuck.

The two greatest of all time beats what we have today

Today's "artists" think that they're country just because they've singing through their nose and wearing a Stetson
I never will ever forget Faron Young my mom said to my dad that Faron Young was one of the most handsome men in country music OMG they almost got a divorce over that my dad was very mad about what she said just thought I would share that
I read that Faron Young was only five feet, nine inches tall.
He was called the Hillbilly Hearthrob.
@@TheBrooklynbodine I asked his son Robyn and apparently Faron was 5.5 or 5.6 :)
Lee Greenwood is only 5'3". I read it somewhere and looked it up to confirm it..
I met Faron Young & w his boots on, he wasn’t as tall as I am-5’ 7”
I love Ray's laugh!
I have seen small bits of this interview but this is really the first time I have heard Faron talk about this in his own words.
2 of the very best !
Superstars of country!!!
Love em both
Love, Love This !!
I first saw Far on at a county fair in Wisc. His opening act was the very talented Penny DeHaven who I became a big fan of. She should've been a bigger star!!
Faron Young was from my hometown of Shreveport, Louisiana. Very funny and quick-witted man.
I didn't remember that but it made me so sad. I loved his voice and his songs
He was also pretty funny. He felt like his life was over and he was washed up. What a great loss. Still sad.
I love Rays laugh
Those two , I bet could write a Book on things backstage happen.. Things they new and wouldnt tell..

Two superstars. Now whenever there’s s country people on tv I’m like “who? Am I supposed to know these people?”
I mean I love Willie, I love Merle, besides them though...after these two, what the hell do we have left?....and it breaks my heart
Charley Pride
"Go down to Firestone and get your ass recapped..." LOL
John Dough Q
This is so good!!!!
I love Ray's deep throated laugh.
Is there more of the Faron interview?

Who's the guy subbing for Ralph Emory?
Farron is telling way more with his humor
He wasn’t lying when he said send dates . Rip
@2:29
Who is the host?
+Steve Endicott I didn't know him, first time I saw him, if I find out when I get time to scroll through the video, I'll let you know. He was just filling in for someone if I remember correctly.
Yeah thanks I think he was filling in for Ralph Emory or Gary Chapman!
I believe it’s Butch Baker who at the time was a rising star
@@markdoyon358 yes it is butch baker
Faron's funny for sure, but he characteristically couldn't restrain himself from drawing all the attention to himself.
Who is "the HOST" of this show? I hear him being referred to as "Butch"...no idea who Butch is. Anyone?? 🤔
Butch Baker guest hosting for Ralph Emery.
@@mw7584 Thanks!

those tw were the best in my eyes .I loved them ,,their songs. just can't beat them . miss them besides others .
