He had a couple of crossover hits in the mid-70s. The other one I remember is “Before the Next Teardrop Falls”.

Musically similar to Oh! Darling by The Beatles.

I prefer the original version from 1959, available on YouTube.

“It is considered by many to belong to the swamp pop idiom of south Louisiana and southeast Texas...”
I’m a musician and from that part of the country. Some great music came out of there but Freddy’s wasn’t part of it, IMO.

I believe we saw Freddie Fender perform on television’s Midnight Special back around then. Was that Friday nights? Mom loved his voice and this was the first time she saw him - not nearly so attractive.

True story- My 1977 Panama City, FL HS class was asked to vote on a class song for graduation. Many of us voted for THIS one, and I think it wasn’t close The admin didn’t like that, so we were stuck with the Theme from Mahogany. If you’ve ever seen the movie Dazed and Confused, yeah, that was us. :)

Music was good in the 1970s. Everybody likes to rag on 1970s music as "the worst time for music" just because of outliers like Barry Manilow and KC & The Sunshine Band (even even they had a few good songs) but overall it was a very good decade for music.
I put the 1980s slightly above but the 1970s was second best with 1960s being third. Sorry folks from the hippie generation. Lot of great music from the 1960s but even more from the subsequent two decades.
