Już jako dziecko był członkiem chóru kościelnego,a mając 8 lat został jego solistą.Będąc nastolatkiem postanowił zostać śpiewakiem spirituels.Przyłącza się do wielu grup gospels [minn.Singing Clouds],spełniając najczęściej w nich rolę solisty.
W 1962r trafia do Fame,nie odnosząc na
początku większych sukcesów i dopiero nagrana w 1964r jego własna
kompozycja "Steal away" przyniosła mu powodzenie.Jego
intesywna,nieco płaczliwa maniera śpiewu pasowała perfekcyjnie do
soulowych ballad jak chociażby w "Why Not Tonight" z 1967r.
Po rozwiązaniu kontraktu z Hallem nagrywał dla wytwórni Volt,przed wycofaniem się ze sceny muzycznej w połowie lat 70-tych.Umiera na raka w 1997r.
