I listened to Faron because of my mom's record collection. I always liked his voice and style. He was one one of those who lived the music he wrote. What a tragic ending to a legendary career.
Shared it with my family and they were impressed. (I am his grandson). Good job on the compilation video. Kind of neat to see my dad as a little boy in it.
Country music industry knew if your granddaddy gave his approval on Charlie Pride the man would make it. They were sure nervous until he did 😂 he knew top notch singing when it presented itself
My top three Country singers are Jim Reeves, Marty Robbins, and Faron Young. All three of them have so many excellent recordings. I saw Faron in person three times over the years, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
I have almost all of Faron’s recordings, just loved his style a little over the top but he he could pull it off masterfully to me he was the quintessential country singer. I grew up in the 1950’s and 1960’s and his music brings back a lot of memories about that era when the real America was alive and well and we thought it would last forever.Great Artist
one thing i noticed even as a teenager....you can clearly make out each word of th lyrics. faron and hank sr both had that quality! there are pros today that just leave u guessing. i love faron th way ud love a fav uncle. such a talent
Very well done documentary, kudos to you all.. Faron was indeed a legend if there ever was one. Lordy he had his demons..... Maybe more than most. When it came to his work, nobody could touch him. Honest to a fault too. All our legends are pretty much gone now with the exception of a precious few. That alone really saddens me.
i guess george jones hated faron but i don't. i remember when he died and knew his records. i have no idea what he may have said about patsy cline but i imagine he was just jealous. nice tribute!
I'm a rock'n'roll fan who in recent years has gained an appreciation for country and especially honkytonk and seeing less and less difference. Faron is much like Jerry Lee.
Faron Young asked Penny DeHaven to go on tour with him. I loved Pennys singing! She's mentioned in book about Faron, Live Fast Love Hard, Die Young by Diane Dikeman.
Fantastic I thought...Lot's of memories there with him and Merle at POssum Holler, Hank ,Paycheck, Goldie was with Faron then. @@lha3954 Chicken Whiskey,,,,,by Kilgore. LOL the drink of the day at the Holler. Good job for sure !!!!!!!!
16:04 Rod Cameron sits down with Faron. For those who don't know, Cameron is best remembered for his work in western films. He later starred in the TV series City Detective, State Trooper (my favorite show of his), and Coronado 9.
Country music hell raiser who had a gun pulled on him by Hank Sr. And his girlfriend stolen.😂 . Country artists today are a joke compared to these guys!
Isn't it a shame that someone allowed him to get in such a funk that he killed himself. And then what do you know, Tom T. did the same., some sort of country singers 'Code of Honor- Code of Honor,... I've got a challenge for all of you 'young star wanna bes'. You take that title and make a hit with it!. But if you do you have to live up to Faron's code of honor and see that I get song writing credit and send me some money honey, cuz this ol songwriter, never had the courage to go to Nashville, is sinking down fast. I sang in New Hampshire at a rest area yesterday and I sang good!.. it was 28 degrees. I sang Navajo Rug,... Mary Ellen Carter,... The Dutchman,... Blues in the Bottle, I Saw the Light,,... Gordon Lightfoot 's I'll Tag Along for about 40 minutes[and a couple, three of my own.. I have busked since I was 22.I thought I'd make a little gas money, because as I've inferred, above, I'm not doing so well on the comfortably retired scene. Not a single person had the courage to come over and even talk to me . 😢. Yes, sir- ee bob! And these people were driving top of the line 60-80000 dollar vehicles. One kind lady 75 yards away yelled over:" you have a beautiful voice" or something like it[ok, it was only 40 yards} Oh, I did "Tumbleweed".-boot heels clicking time to an old flat-top box guitar,... He can heal your wounded heart and set your spirit free,.., raise your hopes to be the best...".Enough. No. Two beautiful amazing granchildren , Vaughan and Everlea. I won't be shooting myself soon, I pray. Faron deserved better. I want wrote a song about my brother, whom died too soon,... '.... Let there please, Lord,.. be a Heaven, so I can see him one more time" [it was a very long; the kind of songs that never could be played on the air waves. What I would tell songwriters these days, is"Let the feelings flow freely from the tip of your ball point smooth gliders and then go back and see what you have. Then do what Guy Clark once explained: move the sentiments around the page as if each segment were a piece of a puzzle. Just do it! Go to Nashville. Go to LA. Go to NYC as our beloved Bob did. It is a big mistake to try and stay local and make it big[if that is your intention] Peace and love to all and to all a good life. I myself am still trying to get back to the garden😊😢. Two sides of the same coin. Keep On the Sunny side

My grandmother, rip, dated Faron Young many years ago.

I'm glad you liked it which one is your dad?

ONE OF THE FINEST VOICES IN COUNTRY MUSIC EVER !
I am so glad I was raisy when there were Men like Faron was someone to listen to and look up to. Thank you Faron
I'm a rock'n'roll fan who in recent years has gained an appreciation for country and especially honkytonk and seeing less and less difference. Faron is much like Jerry Lee.
This is a great video.Faron was a great country singer!
Yes he certainly was a great singer and dynamic performer
A great singer. When he gets to the end of "Four in morning," he sings like a wounded animal pining for its mate.
Great tribute to a "one of a kind" talent. Thanks very much for posting this one!

Good to hear Tillman Frank's name
Man my brother knew him he gteat good voice

The 1st celebrity I met!
Faron and Beatle George Harrison shared the same birthday 25 February 1943
Harreson was 43,Faron 10 or so yers early
He thought others lost their love for him too the point of suicide.
Did you make this your self? Great. Thank you
I Never Knew about his passing?
He looks like an Identical Twin to my late Uncle, Bro.Bill Pope
Crow Mt.Ala.
People used to be Unique
Like Farrin..
Good label hank his idol
Country music hell raiser who had a gun pulled on him by Hank Sr. And his girlfriend stolen.😂 . Country artists today are a joke compared to these guys!

Thank you for honestly sharing. I hope you feel the love that you deserve and need.

Despised Faron for the lies he spread in print about Patsy Cline
What lies?
What were the lies about? (I know, if I had to ask I don't need to know
I have not heard of lies about Patsy.
Good label hank his idol
