For Decca Records, he charted 48 singles, 39 reaching the top ten to include "In the Jailhouse Now", " More and More", "Backstreet Affair", "Why, Baby, Why", "Oh, So Many Years" and "Finally". He was a regular performer at the Grand Ole Opry, on the tour circuits and continued charting hits until retiring in 1982.
