He recorded songs such as "You're Welcome to Try" and "The – When Will I Stop Lovin' You" with the Mellowettes on the VRC record label, described as "a Great sixties soul stomper from Newark, N.J. with such a rough edge and a killer breakdown."[1] He was ousted from Pat Teacake's Band and replaced by Otis Redding.[2][3]
