    I was backstage with Faron in my DJ days and he told that same story. Hanging out with Faron could wear you out, he was so full of great stories and one-liners. He had about 80 C&W hits, and I think he should have had a lot more pop hits. Truly one of the giants!

    The artists respected each other’s ability to write. Instead of taking Willie’s money, FY loaned him $500.They had a true belief in the other’s ability to write songs, & didn’t want to “kill the golden goose” as it were. Much respect to the men for keeping their word to each other. Wish things today were more like this.

      [Frankie Butler] An interesting point of fact. Read an article many years ago about Willie Shoemaker and the contract he had with his agent, a simple hand shake that lasted all those decades that Willie rode horses. That same article pointed out, that back in those days (pre-WWII) a hand shake was considered a binding contract in a court of law.

    I remember one of my Sgts calling into the Country music station in Amarillo, Texas and requesting this song for all the prisoners we had in the Base Confinement Facility. Then he would ask for the song "I walk the Line" for all the B-52 aircraft guards walking the flightline out in the SAC area of the base. Being stationed at Amarillo is where I really got my first true taste of the great Country and Western music that I love today. Listening to all these great singers from back in the 50s-60s is wonderful. Faron Young, Jim Reeves, Jim Brown, to name a few. This was back in the early 1960s.

    I think of Willie as a fantastic songwriter, but I humbly confess I have never liked his singing....... Hello Walls by Faron, is such a great country recording, but by Willie It would never have been anywhere as big a hit. I love Willie as a person, just not as a singer.......... As for Faron he is, in my humble opinion in the top three Country singers of all time. As a footnote the flip side of "Hello Walls", "Congratulations" is close to being just as good.

    Two weeks earlier on April 10th it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #12 and spent 15 weeks on the Top 100...
    And on May 8th it reached #1 {for 9 weeks} on Billboard's Hot Country Western Sides chart...
    Also 1961 Ralph Emery peaked at #4 on the Country chart with an answer song, "Hello Fool"...
