SAN BENITO, Texas - Freddy Fender, the "Bebop Kid" of the Texas-Mexico border who later turned his twangy tenor into the smash country ballad "Before the Next Teardrop Falls," died Saturday. He was 69.
Fender, who was diagnosed with lung cancer in early 2006, died at noon at his Corpus Christi home with his family at his bedside, said Ron Rogers, a family spokesman.

Sail on Freddy. I remember how much my dad, God rest his soul, loved your music. Give him a show up there in heaven.

very sad news
His music helped this rock 'n' roller open his ears to Country & Western
and his Tex-Mex sound
Vaya con dios mi amigo, Freddy Fender
