Singer Buck Owens, the flashy rhinestone cowboy who shaped the sound of country music with hits like "Act Naturally" and brought the genre to TV on the long-running "Hee Haw," died Saturday. He was 76.

Owens died at his home, said family spokesman Jim Shaw. The cause of death was not immediately known. Owens had undergone throat cancer surgery in 1993 and was hospitalized with pneumonia in 1997.

His career was one of the most phenomenal in country music, with a string of more than 20 No. 1 records, most released from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s.

It's sad that he died at an early age of 76 ,that isn't that old anymore . Growing up with country music I've seen him in person about six times in my life and always like to see him sing . He'll be well missed.

Another true pioneer of Country music gone.  He left some great music for us to remember him by though.

We'd like to go to his Crystal Pallace in Bakersfield to see him play.
Teriffic shows,, and great food.
Everything on the menu excellent.

He'd talk to everybody,, play any country tune you wanted.

Even after the throat surgery,, still show'd up to perform,, and still teriffic.
