God bless them all, and God Speed.

Hornet, your list reminds me of the Bob Luman song, “Let’s Think About Living” – a crossover hit in early 60s, #7 Hot 100 and #9 Country.

It goes like this:

In every other song that I've heard lately
Some fellow gets shot
And his baby and his best friend both die with him
As likely as not
In half of the other songs
Some Cat's crying or ready to die
We've lost most of our happy people
And I'm wondering why

Let's think about living
Let's think about loving
Let's think about the whoopin'
and hoppin and boppin'
and the lovie, lovie dovin'
Let's forget about the whinin' and the cryin'
And the shooting and the dying
And the fellow with a switchblade knife
Let's think about living
Let's think about life

We lost old Marty Robbins
Down in old El Paso a little while back
And now Miss Patti Page or one of them
Is a-wearing black
And Cath's Clown has Don and Phil
Where they feel like a-they could die
If we keep on a-losin' our singers like that
I'll be the only one you can buy

Repeat chorus, tag and fade
 
Yes GLD, thats correct......could also include Hillbilly Heaven by Tex Titter , Teenage Heaven by Johnnie Cymbal and Rock N Roll Heaven by the Righteous Brothers.

Interestingly, all the people in the song outlived Bob Luman!

Should this be Tejano Conjunto? My Spanish is a little rusty? If Confunto is correct, what would the English translation be, please?
