Chico & Buddy were a soul duo active in the 1960s, consisting of members Charles "Chico" Leverett and Buddy Smith. They were known for their blend of rhythm and blues and soul, characterized by rich harmonies and emotive vocals. Leverett was formerly a member of The Flamingos, and their music was influenced by notable producers like Dave Hamilton. Though they did not achieve widespread commercial success, their contributions to soul music, particularly their single "Can You Dig It", remain a significant part of the genre's history.
