Freddy Fender (June 4, 1937 – October 14, 2006), born Baldemar Garza Huerta in San Benito, Texas, was the most important bilingual singer of his time. Freddy's unique blend of country, R & B, and rock and roll spanned over 50 years. Known as the King of Tex-Mex, this internationally-known solo artist was also a mainstay in super-groups such as Texas Tornados and Los Super Seven. Freddy was one of a kind. He has a star on the Walk of Fame in Hollywood. He now deserves a place in the Country Music Hall of Fame. Period. Help put him there...Pass it on!
