Yeah, wow, this thread is great.

I remember Rainy Night in Georgia at the time the song was out. Perfect.

And my pick for Freddy Fender is "Before the Next Teardrop Falls". I love to sing it too--especially the Spanish verse.

But Freddy is just wonderful no matter what he sings--and "Wasted Days and Wasted Nights" is right up there. i also really like his "After the Fire Is Gone"--again with his Spanish verse.
