Chociaż następne utwory nie dorównywały pierwowzorowi, Floyd ma na swoim koncie kilka doskonałych singli, w tym „Love Is A Doggone Good Thing” (1967) i „Big Bird” (1968), które utrwaliły jego pozycję, zarówno jako wykonawcy, jak i autora muzyki. Chociaż kompozycje Floyda nagrane były przez różnych wykonawców, dopiero w 1968 roku jego utwór „Bring It On Home To Me” w wykonaniu Sama Cooke’a znalazł się w dwudziestce najlepszych przebojów w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Eddie Floyd współpracował z firmą Stax aż do jej bankructwa w 1975 roku, a potem nagrywał w wytwórni Malaco, z którą jednak nie odniósł żadnego sukcesu komercyjnego.
W 1977 roku przeniósł się więc do Mercury, ale i tutaj nie odniósł żadnych sukcesów. Na krótko wyjechał do Londynu, gdzie nagrywał pod egidą Secret Affair, a potem wypłynął w Nowym Jorku albumem Try Me (1985). W roku 1990 pojawił się w nagraniu na żywo ze zreformowaną grupą Booker T And The MGs.
