He experienced little success on a succession of labels - Dot (Memphis), Rex (New Orleans), Khoury (Lake Charles, Louisiana) until in 1960 he cut "Is It Wrong" for Potomac which became a regional hit.

The world was dark, God made the stars to brighten
up the night.

But the God who put those stars above, I don't
C D G D
believe he made those lights.

city lights.
