This was one of the many hits recorded at a location that was known in the 1960s as Gold Star Studios (which is not the same as the LA studio of the same name); it later became known as SugarHill Recording Studios and was located in Houston, Texas.

On November 23, 1999, Sahm's funeral took place at the Sunset Memorial Home in San Antonio. [97] Loudspeakers were placed outside of the funeral home for the service to be heard by the estimated one thousand mourners in attendance. According to the Austin American Statesman, the crowd consisted of people "across all lines of age, race and social standing". [98] The viewing lasted an hour and a half, as the mourners passed Sahm's casket and left keepsakes. Freddy Fender chose not to attend the funeral to avoid distracting the crowds with his presence. [98] Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, [97] then-Texas governor George W. Bush and Willie Nelson reached out to the family to express their condolences. [99] A planned tribute by a local radio station had to be called off, as the viewing took longer than expected, and the station's programming moved to the broadcast of the weather report. [100] Sahm was buried in a private ceremony at Sunset Memorial Park in San Antonio, next to his mother and father. [100] [1] Jasinski, Laurie (2012). Handbook of Texas Music.
