Freddy Fender

“If you're ever in a jam, here I am.”

“Wasted days and wasted nights, I have left for you behind. For you don't belong to me, your heart belongs to someone else.”

“I'm a bilingual singer, and I've been able to fuse my Tejano roots with country and R&B, and it's been very successful.”

“Whenever I get a flash of inspiration, I have to write it down.”

“It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood... a beautiful day for a neighbor. Would you be mine? Could you be mine?”

“I've been blessed. I have no complaints. I've been surrounded by people who love me.”

“I'd like to be remembered as a guy who brought a little bit of joy into the world.”

“Tejano music is a part of me. It's in my blood.”

“You have to be true to yourself and the music that's in your heart.”
