A prolific sessionman in Nashville, Memphis and Hollywood, he was born in Pochontas, Arkansas, and left Sun in 1960 to form a label, Rita, which had several hits. He has recorded country for Sun, Mojo, Pen, Hip, Sun Int., Entrance, backwoods blues for Rita, R&B for Dodge,Checker and Hip,rock for Brunswick and Home of the Blues, and soul for Smash,Fire, Fury, Mojo and Myrl. His best-selling rocker was "Red Hot" for Sun.
