Fade Out

Post by J W Hock »

What country song was the first to use a "fade out" at the end as opposed to straight ending ? I say it was Hank Sr."s Kawliga. Anyone know of an earlier song to use "fade out" ?

I'd have to guess it was "Way Out There", by the early Sons of the Pioneers. That was about 1937 or '38.
