when did clifton chenier die
Chenier went down slowly, but with enormous dignity. Clearly the kingâs crown would fit only on his head. Clifton Chenier died peacefully December 12, 1987, at Lafayette General Hospital and an enormous funeral was held at St. Anthonyâs Catholic Church. At the service, C.J. played one of his fatherâs favorite songs, âIâm Coming Home.â
