Cztery lata później jako Mr. Acker Bilk odniósł pierwszy sukces wprowadzając utwór "Summer Set" do brytyjskiej Top 10. Wspomagany przez Paramont Jazz Band, Bilk stanowił awan gardę brytyjskiego boomu jazzu tradycyjnego na początku lat 60.
Występujący w charakterystycznych melonikach i pasiastych kamizelkach Bilk z zespołem zanotowali wiele przebojów w Wielkiej Brytanii, w tym "Buona Sera" i "That's My Home". Największy sukces odniósł jednak z The Leon Young String Chorale nagraniem "Stranger On The Shore", które w maju 1962 r. zajęło l. miejsce w USA i doszło do 2. miejsca w Wielkiej Brytanii, utrzymując się przez rekordowe 55 tygodni na liście bestsellerów.
Także w 1962 r. razem z Kenny Ballem i Chrisem Barberem - muzykami tego samego pokolenia - nagrał utwory na album The Best Of Ball. Barber And Bilk, który zajął l. miejsce w Wielkiej Brytanii. Choć beatowy boom spowodował koniec kariery wielu jazzmenów tradycyjnych, Bilk z powodzeniem kontynuował występy w kabaretach i nawet powrócił w 1976 r. do Top 10 nagraniem "Aria".
