Long before he became a Country Crossover superstar in the 1970s, FREDDY FENDER was a teenage rock & roll star under his real name, Baldemar Huerta. The very first Hispanic rock & roller, nicknamed 'El Bebop Kid', he initially sang Spanish language cover versions of contemporary American rock & roll hits, before starting to write his own songs. He changed his stage name to 'Freddy Fender' in 1959 in order to appeal to the US market - as he famously said, 'To sell better with Gringos!' This unique compilation presents the very best of his Spanish language recordings between 1957-1961, the first time that this body of work has been compiled.......
