Sad news. Heard him a few times when I lived in Raleigh years ago and enjoyed his shows.

Sorry to hear of his passing. I enjoy listening to Zydeco music from time to time. Have a couple of Buckwheat Zydeco’s CD’s. Beausoleil is another great group.

Good music, indeed, and even better live. Impossible to be still. The music just took control and the body had no choice but to dance. LOL

Saw him live years ago at the old Jambalya Jam in Philly. If you’ve never heard his music, try listening to this without moving your feet:

I’m in the wrong generation, who thinks of a different “Buckwheat”.

I did see him live in Raleigh and Chapel Hill, NC. Was never still. His music made the feet VERY happy - - had everyone dancing. :-)

Try listening to this without moving my feet? The whole body’s moving. LOL

One of the articles I read said he acquired the nickname Buckwheat because at one time he wore his hair like the other Buckwheat.

My first thought was: How could Buckwheat be only 68 years old?

Yeah, I have one of his albums as well “Jackpot!”...

I heard a song somewhere and really liked it, so I looked it up based on the lyrics and bought the album. Had never heard his stuff before.

Love it, high energy, up music. Great driving music when you are in a good mood. It is the antithesis of that rap crap.

RIP, sir. Thank you.

Here’s part of a benefit for New Orleans with Ry Cooder, Irma Thomas and Lenny Kravits:
