COUNTRY, TEX-MEX LEGEND FREDDY FENDER DEAD AT 69

(Corpus Christi, Texas) – Freddy Fender, one of the most significant voices in Mexican American musical history, passed away Saturday at his home in Corpus Christi, Texas, surrounded by his family.

Born Baldemar G. Huerta on June 4, 1937 in the Mexican slums of San Benito, Texas, Fender’s music took him on a “rags to riches” journey from the Rio Grande Valley. Overcoming career and cultural challenges, Fender’s music has left a musical imprint on more than six decades.

One of Fender's last projects was a duet with Clay Walker, a remake of  his chart topping "Before The Next Teardrop Falls."  Look for the duet on Walker's forthcoming album on Curb/Asylum Records.
