In 1969 'Polk Salad Annie' charted in the U.S., reaching #8. He recorded multiple albums in the late 1960s early 1970s. As he became more popular other musicians started covering his songs, like Dusty Springfield's 'Willie and Laura Mae Jones' and Brook Benton's 'Rainy Night in Georgia'. Both songs charted as cover versions and made him a well-known artist. During the 1990s and 2000s he recorded more albums and singles, including classics like 'Ain't Going Down This Time' and '(You're Gonna) Look Good In Blues'.
