Ramon Santigo, he campaigned for Pres Obama openly. In the country music field it is dangerous to reach out to different races. Most people who listen to this music are very closed minded.

@@joannbair3166 I'm sure there are a lot of close minded people everywhere but since he took that chance, it speaks to his character. Thanks for.sharing that info.

@@joannbair3166 There are closed minded people EVERYWHERE, but music is UNIVERSAL. Music is the one thing that should brings folks together. Country Music is a melting pot of different styles and influences from Irish folk songs to the Blues... Hank Williams is considered to be one of the forefathers of country music and he was taught to play and sing by a black man Rufus "Tee Tot" Payne... people have a misconception of country music that the fans are all mindless and racist 3 toothed inbred hillbillies wearing wife beaters- but it just isn't true. Yes, you do have those folks, but you have racist idiots who like any kind of music. The artist who had a number one hit with this song was a Mexican American named "Freddy Fender" who was loved by country music fans all over the world. One of Country Music's biggest legends was a black man Charley Pride, whom was also loved and revered by folks all over the world and was one of RCA's top selling artists of all time. When the king of soul Mr. Ray Charles released his album "Modern Sounds of Country and Western Music", his peers said to him "why are you playing their music"?? implying that country music was "white music"... to which Mr. Charles replied "Music is universal, if I like it then it is my music too" and that Album was Ray Charles top selling album of all time. So the words "most who listen to this music are closed minded" is in itself a closed minded statement. BTW, campaigning for President Obama? How does that even fit in to what you are trying to say here? Who cares? Obama is a politician, voting or not voting for or supporting or not supporting someone's policies doesn't make anyone a racist. Obama's skin color is inconsequential... we need to stop mixing race into everything. If I vote, or don't vote for someone, it has absolutely NOTHING to do with the color of their skin, in fact that isn't a thought that would even enter my mind until someone puts it there like you just did. I vote based on policy that I feel will effect myself and my community-if I feel that someone is supporting policy that will positively impact my family and my community, then they will have my vote... I could give a hoot in hell what the color of their skin is, even bringing that into it is infantile.

😂

Don't get fooled..... White ppl deep in their racist heart will never accept minorities...

Soy un Gringo mas feo que su abuelito y tu perro 🐕… Pero me gustaría Música desde México 🇲🇽 Viva.

@@elpollolocoguero8183 seems your the racist here.

@@fredwilley5931 nah... Just Facts.

I noticed the same thing and thought exactly the same thing. He seems like an awesome guy and someone you'd want to be around.

He’s the kind of friend you want in your life…only happiness and goodtimes:)

Search for marichis, Ive seen many and most seem super happy to perform. This was amazing

I have lived among Mexicans on both sides of the border for over 20 years. Most of them are happy and smiling most of the time..like the love I Iost after he was in an accident in January. I was never so happy in my life.. 😊 💖

@@deborahcooler8392 I'm sorry for your loss. I wish you a path filled with good & sincere people only. Good Thoughts & Best Wishes To You : )

Agreed

North, Central & South America! 👊🏻😎

Amen

Very well said

God help America!!!🤣

Is texican not mexi-Texan

Antonio Sanchez Actually, Texicans were Anglo-American residents from Mexican Texas. Mexican settlers were referred to as Tejanos. Either or, it was just a word I came up while commenting lol☺️ But, thank you!

I Loved To Hear Freddy Sing

! 1.

The good ol days 😊

R.i.p to your dad

@@adrianolivas7879 thanks brother

Dad used to play this his 91 Vette when I was a kid. He and my grandmother raised me on classic country. Tim you made Freddy my late father and I very happy. Thank you sir!!

My Daddy did to

yeah! cry in your beer and such

Yes, I've been saying this for years. Songs of folklore, country, meager poor living. If you put the lyrics next to each other, the subjects are trains, ranches, horses, growing up poor, alcohol, heartbreak, new love, growing old and dying. Growing up in south Texas, I had the best of both worlds.

@@slowmo338 Indeed. I grew up in Houston and I feel the same way. Recently I came across Willie Nelson singing with Little Joe...some of it in Spanish, too. Blew me away that Willie is a Little Joe fan.

@@jmit3491 And those Europeans are the ancestors of Mexicans (who are a mixed people).

@Fun Fact Crazy. Country music is an off shoot of old European music brought over in the 1600-1700's. The southern accent is a form of the old british , Scottish and irish accents. Look at irish music.. Thats whete it came from. Now stop being racist.

Well I ain't nobody but I just recorded this cover. If my mother was alive she would have loved it. Tim does allright. But yeah missed the the verse that was important.

My mother would also

So did my late husband of 39yrs by the way my maiden name is Robinson

My mama loved this song too. Wish she was here as well...

Smile, Michele......your Mom is in Heaven singing this song with Freddie right now!

Vicente Herrera I appreciate your comment.

This actually brought tears to my eyes. 👊

Wow... this is the way I've learned my English...arriba Tim McGraw, much blessing for you, your family and all who accompany you in your music. Y estare vada vez que me necessites junto a ti... wow so beautiful.

Love How Tim Sang Freddy's Song With The Same Passionate And Beautiful Vocals Freddy Once Sang" Thank You Tim For The Awesome Love You Shared With All Who Loved Freddy ❤️

Couldn't believe I am hearing this rediton by Tim ! Beautiful

It’s a big no for me, he doesn’t have the passion or the voice to sign next to a mariachis

Lovit Tim

Tex Mex sucks hahaha Cali Mex all day

Thats why every one is heading to Texas 🤣

@@an_american4616 don’t mess with TEXAS

No TexMex and no Cali Mex .........just MEXICAN CARNE ASADA .....SORRY LOOSERS

I'll just remind You this, texas was parte of México, but they got an independence

8 tracks right?

@@elvispresley7245 #metoo

Sir gbbngtkibgh

Nice

Don't feel like Lone Ranger, I'm only just now finding it myself. And it's from four years ago?

Baldemar Garza Huerta

I gotta look this up

So do The Mavericks

My favorite cover of the song!

Ill have to look it up. Im not impressed with Tim McGraw on this at all.

@@BigMamou367 ya. He fucked it up.

The Native American one?

Exactamente..Gracias mi amiga...

@@AMSOLIS1106 denoda mi amiga! Yo mucho respecta para musica de Freddie fender..mi esposo latino y yo amor todo espanol.

Love this song

Damn it's so nice to american ppl paying respect to such a great musician as freddy is thank you

Aaaaa mire si se la save!

I agree, I love it with both Spanish and English together

True, it's nothing without the Spanish version!

Tim McGraw is a great singer in my opinion.

I agree.

I've always wanted to dislike Tim. But, he's actually legitimately great. Listen to his original studio version of Angry All the Time

with ya on this...

It is impossible to listen to mariachi music and frown at the same time!

Well if he makes you happy...then I wish you all the best. It's your happiness that matters most of all.

God I hope so!

shut the hell up!! that was not ff it was t mcg singing a FF s , song , And itis sublime !!

Pepe Aguilar can sing anything! Love his voice. There are so msny great Mexican artists. My favorite is Marco Antonio Solis. When I first went to Mexico I could say "por favor" " gracias" and "otra cerveza por favor". Listening to Los Bukis with Solis as the lead singer was amazing. When they sang a sad song I felt like crying. When he sang a happy song I wanted to dance. So I started hearing words and looked them up in a Spanish dictionary. Hence my begining of learning Spanish
