Farewell To A Cherished Soul

We at KRVS express sorrow with the many musicians, family, students and friends who knew and loved this prolific and influential R&B and Zydeco bassist. The Carencro native and two-time Grammy winner passed away on Sunday, May 3 at the age of 71. He performed most recently on March 19 at the Acadiana Center for the Arts with the R&B ensemble of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette Traditional Music program.
