It's a travesty of justice and sadder than any country song that Freddy Fender is not in the Country Music HOF. It's an insult to him, his legacy, his fans and the Latino community. Let's right this wrong in the only way that can be done.
Freddy is not just a singer but helped country and mexican music come together. Dwight yokum has sung with a lit of mexican singers as well as Willie Nelson and buck Owens. Tim McGraw also sang Freddy song. He said he was one of his biggest fans of fenders.
Freddy is the originator of a unique sound born in Texas but with a world wide appeal because of its feeling, passion and authenticity. As a performer he is unexcelled but he is also a unique unifying symbol of Anglo and Hispanic culture.
FF had one of those great voices like Willie Nelson doing both standards and great Spanish traditionals....his voice alone and his many years alone deserve the CM Hall of Fame award. I saw him perform. He was an Original.
Freddy Fender is the story of an American Dream. Over coming so many obstacles in life, do become the first hispanic to have number one songs in multiple genres of music. He was a leader in Country Music and needs to be remembered always in The Country Music Hall of Fame!
It is a shame he has not become a member yet.
Induct him already.

Freddy deserves to represent his Mexican-American roots in the Country Hall of Fame for all the awards his music has received and for being of proud Hispanic background. Many of his recordings contain at least one verse in his native language.
