I just went online tonight because I was missing Freddy's voice - I only have his albums on vinyl, and wanted to get him on CD - and I discovered that this great man had passed away last fall. I am truly saddened to hear it. But I am grateful that he shared the gift of his wonderful voice & talent with all of us during his lifetime. I cannot imagine my childhood without Freddy's songs. I sing them to this day. Vaya Con Dios.
