Wikipedia Text

Faron Young (February 25, 1932 � December 10, 1996) was an American country music singer and songwriter from the early 1950s into the mid-1980s and one of its most colorful stars. Hits including "If You Ain't Lovin' (You Ain't Livin')" and "Live Fast, Love Hard, Die Young" marked him as a honky tonk singer in sound and personal style; and his chart-topping singles "Hello Walls" and "It's Four in the Morning" showed his versatility as a vocalist. Known as the Hillbilly Heartthrob, and following a movie role, the Singing Sheriff, Young's singles reliably charted for more than 30 years. He committed suicide in 1996. Young is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Couple Profile

Starting off singing at the local Optimist Club, Young was discovered by Webb Pierce, who brought him to star on the Louisiana Hayride radio program on KWKH in 1951. He was drafted into the Army in late 1952, just after he was signed to Capitol Records. Nicknamed "The Hillbilly Heartthrob" and "The Singing Sheriff," he had many hits including: "If You Ain`t Lovin` (You Ain`t Livin`)" "Live Fast, Love Hard, Die Young" "Sweet Dreams" "Alone With You" "Hello Walls" (written by Willie Nelson) "It`s Four in the Morning" (written by Jerry Chesnut). "Here I Am In Dallas" "I`ve Got Five Dollars and It`s Saturday Night" Young made several appearances during the late 1950s on ABC-TV`s Ozark Jubilee. His #1 country hit "It`s Four in the Morning" was written at his request as he was recuperating from a serious automobile accident in which he suffered head injuries. His tongue had been partly severed in the accident, and it took him several months before he could regain normal speaking ability. He had particular trouble with the "s" sound in most words, so he asked for a song which largely avoided that sound as his comeback effort.[1] Faron Young`s band, the Country Deputies, was one of country music`s top bands, and toured with him for many years. Young co-founded, with Preston Temple, the Nashville trade newspaper, The Music City News. Young died at the age of sixty-four of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He had been in failing health when he took his own life.
