I believe Faron may have been hiding his depression with his amazing sense of humor. The highlight of this clip is when he jokingly asks the viewers to send dates and we'll work for money. He and his counterparts of the 1950's and 60's generation were being shoved further and further into the back corner and didn't have very much, if any significant relevance in the genre by 1991. (Which is extremely unfortunate) I think this ultimately led to his severe depression and feeling of betrayal by Nashville. He also mentions the new stars of the current time period, and their salaries, lifestyles, etc... The times had changed immensely in the 30+ years since Faron had started out, and it was really the very very early stages of the demise of what we now know as country music. I cannot imagine what Faron Young would be thinking in 2017, because it is such a shame what has happened to the music that both he and I, love. Bless you, Faron and rest in peace.
As a former DJ I played many of f a r o n s Records but one day I was riding down the road in my truck listening to WSM when I heard the news I remember I just pulled over on the side of the road and cried rest in peace. Faron
Country music today. The occasional hints at a banjo, maybe the whine of steel guitar in the back, and a slight drawl...that's about the only thing that really separates it from pop. It just doesn't have the soul or the grit that country music used to have. There's good country being made today, just don't expect it at the Opry or on your local radio station.
I had a steak dinner with faron at his bar in Nashville he came to my table and sit down and I had no idea who he was a few minutes later the band ask him to come up and sing and I said u mean they will let u sing in here and he smiled and said sometimes they do when he came back to sit down I looked at him and I said may I ask why u have one yellow sock and one green sock on. He laugh and said honey I'm color blind. Anyway it was a fun and lovely eve.
I never will ever forget Faron Young my mom said to my dad that Faron Young was one of the most handsome men in country music OMG they almost got a divorce over that my dad was very mad about what she said just thought I would share that
RIP Ray Price (January 12, 1926 - December 16, 2013), aged 87 And RIP Faron Young (February 25, 1932 - December 10, 1996), aged 64 You both will be remembered as legends.
I first saw Far on at a county fair in Wisc. His opening act was the very talented Penny DeHaven who I became a big fan of. She should've been a bigger star!!
@@marilynkopecky8294 Hello!!! How are you doing today! Please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you're a fan!....Stay safe!!
I didn't remember that but it made me so sad. I loved his voice and his songs He was also pretty funny. He felt like his life was over and he was washed up. What a great loss. Still sad.
I my humble opinion, Faron ranks up there with Marty Robbins, and Jim Reeves. Faron was an incredibly talented singer. He was such a personable and well liked guy, something awful must have driven him to commit suicide.
Absolutely hilarious interview with the Young Sheriff taking full control of the proceedings - what a man who was so talented and a magnificent performer. I thought Ray Price was gonna bust his britches laughing. I would have given a Bar of Gold to just sit and have a coffee with him. Remind me not to go to Firestone!

I miss all the artist of that time and era.My mom and dad always had a radio playing outside walk in house country music playing there.plus my dad played to quit are with my unc on fiddle and maybe others.miss it so much.💞 so glad to hear Ray s talk to your heart.💖.

+Steve Endicott I didn't know him, first time I saw him, if I find out when I get time to scroll through the video, I'll let you know. He was just filling in for someone if I remember correctly.
