Before The Next Teardrop Falls (Freddy Fender)

I've liked this song for a long time now; love to sing along with it & harmonize. And I'm a sucker for tear-jerker songs. : )

Freddy Fender (June 4, 1937 -- October 14, 2006), born Baldemar Garza Huerta in San Benito, Texas, United States, was an American Tejano country and rock and roll musician, known for his work as a solo artist and in the groups Los Super Seven and the Texas Tornados. He is best known for his 1975 hits Before the Next Teardrop Falls and the subsequent remake of his own Wasted Days and Wasted Nights.

In 1974, Fender recorded the song Before the Next Teardrop Falls. The single was selected for national distribution, and became a number one hit on the Billboard Country and Pop charts. It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc by the R.I.A.A. in May 1975. His next three singles, Secret Love, You'll Lose a Good Thing and a remake of Wasted Days and Wasted Nights, all hit the number-one spot on the Billboard Country charts. Between 1975 and 1983 Fender charted a total of 21 country hits such as Since I Met You Baby, Vaya con Dios, Livin' It Down, and The Rains Came. Wasted Days and Wasted Nights became Fender's second million-selling single, with the gold disc presentation taking place in September 1975
