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
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!
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.

Two sides of the same coin. Keep On the Sunny side
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!
Faron was one of the greatest ever. So under-rated. What a legend
One of the bests and will NEVER be forgotten. Thank you Faron.
Agreed.

ONE OF THE FINEST VOICES IN COUNTRY MUSIC EVER !
I loved Faron Young .. he was truly a great singer.
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 have been in love with Faron Young sense i was three.
What a Talented Gentleman. How sad that he felt abandoned by the music industry. 🙏❤😥 Thank You for posting this. RIP Dear Faron ❤🙏❤
A great singer. When he gets to the end of "Four in morning," he sings like a wounded animal pining for its mate.
Great video, thank you for posting!
Faron and Webb, nothing better!
Thanks so much for making this video! He had an unbelievable voice.
I have to stop listening, tearing me up.😢
4:00. Close your eyes and Faron sounds like Hank Sr.
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
I'm glad you liked it which one is your dad?
Robyn

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 !!!!!!!!

What a good looking guy. I liked how he dressed so nice and a great singer
Just discovered him last year. Great voice.

Saw him in 1980 at Geo Jones Possom Holler club in Nashville. Fun time!
The 1st celebrity I met!
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.
Thank you
"Once I had it" wow!
He could really sing
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..
He thought others lost their love for him too the point of suicide.
Faron and Beatle George Harrison shared the same birthday 25 February 1943
Harreson was 43,Faron 10 or so yers early
Is that Vassar Clements on fiddle
(at 28:40)
Red Hays
I thought it was too
It sure looks like him
It sure looks like him
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!.

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

No
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.
