from San Antonio Rose
Another favorite which Jim Rob and John WIlls wrote, was the blues-fiddle tune "Faded Love". Ruby loved her father to play it: "It was slow and I could rest my fingers at the piano." Lorene the youngest daughter, remembered beign awakened at all hours of the night by the lonesome melody of Faded Love: When Papa could not sleep or was worried, he played it. p 11 Steve Pastor (talk) 21:59, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Derivative
Just heard a 19th century American song Nellie Gray and the first half of this song seems to derive from it. Anybody have an authoritative source to verify? Tapered (talk) 04:27, 14 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Check out: Western Swing Fiddle and The Jazz of the Southwest: An Oral History of Western Swing. Knowing Wills (i.e. "you can rearrange an old song and make it swing"), he probably took the old melody and spruced it up a bit.  "San Antonio Rose" is "Spanish Two Step" played backwards .  If you listen to, "Faded Love" sounds like a near copy, if you listen to , they aren't so similar.  So the answer?  Probably yes.  Any solid proof?  Probably never.  Check out "My Sweet Lord."  Benjamin Hanby probably stole the melody for "Nellie Gray" too.  TuckerResearch (talk) 03:16, 25 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Just found a solid ref by a reliable source for Texas music, Michael Corcoran, who verifies the derivation. It's not possible to link directly to the article, and god knows how long the article will be available. Enjoy it now. Tapered (talk) 02:20, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

Requested Move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: return Bob Wills song to status of primary topic. Favonian (talk) 22:09, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Faded Love (Bob Wills song) → Faded Love – To undo unnecesary move which was marked to disambiguate from Faded Love (song) which was created as redirect anyway. So at the moment there is only one notable "Faded Love Richhoncho (talk) 17:06, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Why was this page moved when there is only one song (that I know of) called "Faded Love"? TuckerResearch (talk) 03:42, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
 * The move was made with the following comment, "Requires disambiguation with Faded Love (song)), which as I said was created as redirect. --Richhoncho (talk) 09:06, 25 February 2012 (UTC)


 * As of 2 days ago, when a user searched for "Faded Love", up came options of "Faded Love" to this article and "Faded Love (song)" a redirect to an album. The choices offered were confusing; both are songs, even though the redirect went to an album. An Anonymous IP has in the interim turned Faded Love to a disambiguation page where it is clearer what is covered in these articles. --Moni3 (talk) 16:41, 25 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Support move. The page should be returned to the undisambiguated title with the disambiguation page moved to Faded Love (disambiguation). The Bob Wills song (subsequently covered by many others) is the clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. I started try to disambiguate some of the links here, and realized it was a pointless exercise as they were all intended for the Wills song. Faded Love (song) should also probably be amended to redirect to the Bod Wills song page with a hatnote added there to link to Faded Love (disambiguation) (for other uses) as well as to Faded Love (pre)Thing song)".

 * Comment. Apologies to Moni3, I didn't read the changes correctly, but I think France3470 has suggested the perfect solution. After all, why shouldn't disambiguation pages be named as what they are? --Richhoncho (talk) 08:13, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
