The greatest song ever, done by my favorite Zydeco funkmaster general. I was fortunate enough to catch General Jocquester 3 times, twice in my Louisiana homefunksterstate, and the last in Denver Co where those Mt hippies loved him - and let me tellz ya people - he blew the roof off the muthasucka every time!
I remember when I was a kid, my parents' had a Beau Jocque cassette tape (back in the good ole days of cassette tapes lol), and we would listen to it all the time in the car. This song is one of the many awesome tunes that Beau Jocque treated us listeners to, and the world lost a great performer and man when he passed. RIP Beau Jocque and thanks for the great music!
My wife was going to see him at Contraband Days in Lake Charles...Her and her parents were comin cross the 210 bridge when they heard on Kykz 96 that he had died the night before...Never got to see the one she called "THE KING OF ZYDECO"....NONE BETTER THAN YOU BEAU...THANKS AND R.I.P.
@GUMBEAUXCADIEN I've seen him in action probably TWICE....Im from TEXAS & I was YOUNG when he did come....Not a VIVD memory but from what my mom tells me I was on the dancefloor getting down....R.I.P Big Man
this man was no man....he was a angel sent down from heaven and put in all of our lifes to teach us about passion, about love and blues,about fun, family and and good times..but most of all to teach us that our time is short..cherish it..tell someone u love them... i know this man like a father..he rasied me..and thats what he would want me to you guys....... love,from the little white kid.....brandon leblanc
exquisitely beautiful, one of my favorite songs

Seeing Beau Joque live in Lafayette at El Sidos is still one of the high points of my life.
So much fun that night and eveyone letting down their hair. Such dancing I have never again seen. Thanks Beau.

I can remember Beau Jocque coming to school, I'm sure
