"Faron Young's Audio Biography"
I grabbed this off of CZcams a few years back, it was in 5 parts, and it seems to have disappeared so here it is again.
One of the greatest country singers ever.
He was hilarious, too bad his story has such a sad ending. I don't think he gets the credit today for how big of an icon he was
Absolutely beautiful singing voice, one of my favorites.
One of the greats; Enjoyed the story...
Find a copy of the book ( Live Fast, Love Hard: The Faron Young Story ) by Diane Diekman, it's a great read.
One of the greatest singers God ever put breath in, Faron Young.
Well said !
Agree.
anything on Faron young is so precious to me. to hear Faron talk warms my heart. so sad he's gone. Can't talk about that.
That's nice, glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for putting this up all in one video, Faron is probably the best voice ever
What an adorable, funny, talented man was Faron Young...
That's why everyone loved him,, he could be irritating, maddening, drunk and out of control, but he was such a great guy 98% of the time that all was always forgiven.
@@2packs4sure Absolutely!
@@kathyswigert2447 FYI ~ Live Fast, Love Hard: The Faron Young Story

Thank you for posting this! I'm a fairly new Faron Young fan and I loved listening to this audio biography.
+Shele Grimm If you like biographies you'll like Diane Diekman's Live Fast, Love Hard: The Faron Young Story..
yu cant beat those days !!
Shele Grimm Me Too I am so mad at myself I am 37 and was like why could I have not discovered this legend sooner in Life. Also yes the book they recommend was the Best!
One of the very best !
Great interview. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it.
This is great.
Thanks for posting this.
Such a great storyteller
Just wonderful. Gotta LOVE Faron.
Glad I found this
Bob Moore on upright bass. He loved Faron. Faron loved him. They were WILD!
I just discovered him, he got a magical voice...
great stories w amazing names
I absolutely love this! It’s very neat to hear him describe a time that my parents grew up in. The stories feel familiar because I was raised on this genre of music and have in turn exposed my own children to it. He lead a very interesting life to say the least.
I have always loved pure country when the hard rock was coming in when I was a young teen. I hated the music and I love the old country twang. My sisters were listening to the Rolling Stones and groups like that and here I was listening to Tammy Wynette and Merle Haggard.
I Loved This Mans Music
Thanks for sharing this . I'm reading the Faron Young Story . Live Fast . Love Hard .
***** Then you'll recognize some of this interview because sections are quoted in the book.
Handsome man with a beautiful voice.
…..and great stories
@@stephenfiore9960 Yes! Some fabulous stories.😊
Favorite Faron Young song: Face To The Wall
Faron Young was ten times the singer that Webb Pierce ever thought he was
Faron was a "singer",,, a vocalist,, he had amazing range and perfect pitch and timing.
Webb was a stylist,, he had amazing range and poor pitch control and bad timing,, and HE'D admit it,,, lol....
I love em' both but if forced to pick a favorite I'd pick Webb...
Have you read Diane Diekman's Faron book?
It's excellent.
@@2packs4sure Agree, My top 6 voices are Faron, Ray Price, Marty Robbins, Slim Whitman, Jim Reeves & Eddy Arnold, however my ALLTIME Favorite singer is & always has been Webb Pierce,
@@jeweldotson3891 I know EXACTLY what you're saying !!
There's a famous story about a drunk Faron asking Webb " who in the HELL ever told you you could sing and where in the hell would you have been without my band backing you up and Webb just smiled and said "I'd a just got up there and sang my 13 number ones in a row".. lol
Understand that Webb and Faron were VERY close and Webb NEVER got mad at Faron no matter how crazy he got...
I heard an interview with Faron where he talked about how much he owed Webb and how Webb was literally like a daddy to him in the early years..
I love this, I am a Faron Young Fan.
+oh no its That guy again Make sure you get Diane Diekman's Faron Young biography, "Live Fast, Love Hard: The Faron Young Story.
Great read and a lot of fun except for the ending.
I was sad to hear how Faron ended, bad way to go. Thanks I'll have to look for his book.
+oh no its That guy again
Yea, but, he was sick,,, couldn't breath, couldn't sing, felt terrible, and he took care of it. Not pretty but he handled it AND, he had one hell of a good run.
That's the part I don't recall hearing about. I know he was a Smoker and think that was part of his troubles. The media only wants the flash bang not real life.
+oh no its That guy again Yea, the emphysema was bad but he had prostatitis and that's what really laid him low. It just hurt all the time and nothing helped. Get the book it's a good read..
Good history.
1x(5/24/22)….1…..26….done excellent
So good. He nailed Tillman Franks.
Refresh my memory, what did he nail Tillman on ? lol
@@2packs4sure Tillman would say ''fru" for through, which Faron eludes to when he said Franks told him, ''you're FRU'' (in the music business).
Country Johnny Mathis? Franks would refer to him as 'Maffis'. ''Thugs' became 'fugs', well, you get the idea, LOL.
@@7550375503 Lol,, I remember now,, thanks !!
@@2packs4sure Tom T Hall's Story Teller's Nashville is also a good read, mate.
Don't smoke and drink folks
Yeah but it's so damn tasty..
This is great. Thanks for posting this.
Glad you enjoyed it.
