In 1962, five high-school friends from a small town of San Andres, a suburb of Guadalajara, State of Jalisco, Mexico, united their incipient musical skills to form a group called The Freddy Boys that would eventually become one of Mexico's most popular bands and influential in the development of Spanish music across Latin America for the next 30 years. The Freddy Boys began with José Luis Tapia Coronado (guitar), his brother Fernando Tapia Coronado (bass guitar), Ricardo (vocals), Artemio Chávez (requinto – high pitched version guitar) y Valentín Terrones (drums). In 1963, the band relocated to Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. They played in bars (La Jacaranda), dance halls (Esmirna, Atenas Versailles, Flamingo). They recorded "Diciendote Te Quiero" on a 45 record with "Sueno Feliz" on the B-Side. "Diciendote Te Quiero" was the group's first hit. Followed by "Ven Dame Tu Fe" and "Mato Mi Corozon." The band then began touring throughout Mexico (Mexicali, Ensenada, Agua Prieta, Culiacan, Nogales, among many others). The group recorded various albums in 45's, extended play and long play versions. ==Turmoil in the End==

In an interview with morning radio host Pepe Reyes (La Preciosa Network, Clear Channel Radio), lead singer Arturo Cisneros announced he officially left the band on August 29, 1994. Cisneros stated that he began recording for an undisclosed record label as a solo artist in the following months and by January 1995 had completed 5 solo albums. In 1997, Cisneros formed his own version of los Freddy's (Arturo Cisneros Y sus Freddy's) with three former members of the original Freddy's: Octavio Aguilar, Raziel de Lugo & Ruperto Lopez. ==Discography==
