My wife passed away just before Thanksgiving 2022. But just a few days before she could sing through her bi-pap mask. It was high pitched and hard to hear her, but we made out what she was singing -- this song. I never remember hearing her sing it before, but on this occasion it was angelic in message and passion. So sweet.. I pray I'll never forget. Thank you Donna Fargo.❤

I met my husband in 1970, we got together in 1974. Heard this song shortly after and my husband used to sing along with it and called me his Funny Face. He is now 86 and I am 92. I never forgot the song or the fact that the lovely Donna Fargo sang it. Now, to hear it again after so many years is such a joy! I cannot get through without crying when I hear it and sing along.

I met a very special young man in 1971, when this song came out he would sing it to me and tell me he loved me. I married someone else in 1974 and I always wonder what my life would have been like if I had married him instead. He died in 2009, and I dream about him pretty often, especially when I'm going through tough times. I like to think he is still near me and I am still his funny face. Maybe we will be together in another life. ❤

This kind of country died out in the 90's. A prime example of the earlier era would be Barbara Mandrell. She chose to retire rather than cave to demands of record producers that she completely revamp her entire act. Marty Stuart still manages to hang on as a survivor of that earlier era, but there aren't many like him anymore.

Had her album in 8 track that I had in my 1946 Willys jeep, I wore it out and had to buy another tape. Loved that woman!

This was my Mamas song for me. Since I was a baby she had called me her little Funny Face. It was a life long thing that became my most dear and precious memory of her. So strange the night of her service she called me on the phone and when I answered I heard her say in the happiest voice from her I had heard in a long time, " Hello, Funny face! How are ya? " I swear, in the dream I laughed out loud in relief and some sort of half hysterical mingled grief and joy. She was alright. My Mama was alright and she knew her little Funny face needed that call, needed to hear her say that this one last time. Music is the single most beautiful gift ever bestowed upon humanity. It survives and transcends even death to comfort and to heal, to touch places in the heart that only it can. Mostly, though, music is alive, always.

Kindred soul, just was reminded of my Mom, too. Special women told their daughters through music that we mattered.

@@atruefaith6498 Mama died in 2009. She left me a wealth of great comfort through the music we both loved, laughed, and cried to. If you don't mind I would like to share just one more sweet memory of her. Now, my Mama also had a huge crush on Freddy Fender. Something I realized one night when he performed live on the Midnight Special, or was it Saturday Night Live? I can't remember. No matter, lol, what mattered was how she chose me to yank out of bed at the age of 12 when the magical hour arrived for him to sing, and the light shining from her eyes that matches the little girl excitement in her voice. "Funny Face!" she shouted " Get up baby! You have to watch Freddy Fender with me! Oh! I hope he sings 'Ill Be There Before the Next Teardrop Falls' it's his latest and my favorite!" Wait. What? What was a Freddy Fender and where was he singing? I soon found out. He was amazing. My Mama loved him and his music all of her life. It broke my heart to leave an Eng Lit 2 class one day to tell her of his death. Her eyes filled with tears but as for an old and dear friend. Someone who she turned to for comfort when my Dad had hurt her in some way. When I told her his real name was Baldemar Herrera we both laughed till we cried at that great distinction between names . I would never have realized he was not simply Freddy Fender. Nor she. He would always be Freddy Fender to us. Anyway, that was the day my Mama chose to write me a letter because I had been showing signs of such terrible sadness at her own declining health and she worried for me. We were very very close. In the letter she told me she knew of my sadness but that after she was gone, when I found myself grieving too horribly, being too sad, that I should just think about her dancing in Heaven with Freddy Fender while a heavenly choir played his songs. I sat down and bawled like a damn baby when I read those precious words from the very soul of my wonderful little Mother. What angel in heaven had whispered that perfect response to the agony she knew I was feeling already, and the PAIN I would be in, the level catastrophic, after she passed, to cause her to write that simple little line of thought to bring comfort and solace, just pure spiritual meaning, a connection between her heart and mine? It was absolutely the only thing that she could have said in it's perfection. I never forgot, either, to remember always that my Mama danced in Heaven with Freddy Fender and her Funny Face had the only front row seat. The love between a Mother and her child transcends even death. In my ❤️ heart she lives on. Eternal. Like the almost living presence that music must surely be, so too is the presence felt of the one we loved within the infinite ties of boundless grace and love unending that are the only true characterization of music. I'm so sorry. I had a great need to share something of such importance and meaning to me, something in which I have faith immeasurable. May your days, all, find blessings, and your nights that certain peace of more value than sea coffers of gold.

Never apologize for feeling grief and knowing there is a connection beyond time with your Mom. Thank you for sharing with me. I am Tracey, age 52. I am sincere in my empathy. I think we have much in common. My mother also loved Freddy Fender. Despite not being well-off, we had a console and a stack of records. My Mom made music a priority. Thank you for sharing with me. My Mom died on Dec. 2nd and had pre-bought gifts, so Christmas is always tough. May God bless you and yours!

I well recall this song (back in the day) and liked it, as I did Donna Fargo. I also recall, my late Dad (who loved Country music) calling my pretty mother (his wife) "Funny Face." Erm, it did not go over so well - I am sure Dad meant well, but my mother seemed ready to fling a frying pan, or three, in his general direction.

I remember this song from my childhood, my Momma would listen to it . When I grew up and got married I used to call my wife funny face and introduced her to it and would sing it to her .... I lost her 3 years ago after 20 years of marriage, now when I hear this song it makes me sad but at the same time puts a smile on my face.....I love and miss you Charmin Hassell. R.I.P. Funny face
