He first formed his group, the Traits, in 1958, and recorded for several local labels, often with producer Huey Meaux. However, he did not have major success until 1965 when "Treat Her Right" reached # 2 on both the US pop and R&B charts. The song, with its pumping horns and punchy rhythm, established the singer as a prime exponent of "blue-eyed soul". Later releases on Dunhill and Elektra contained elements of rockabilly and psychedelia, but by the 1970s he was working as a country singer. In 1975 he had a US C&W hit with "The Most Wanted Woman In Town". He continues to perform.

I do't want much
I'm not asking for a lot
Just want a little bit
I just want a small amount
Don't want it all
I don't want everything
Just a little bit
Just a small amount will suffice
Give me an eeny weeny bit
Give me a very small amount
A teeny weeny bit of your love
I just want a bit of your affection
Turn your lamps down low
Dim the lights
Slip me a kiss
Give me a kiss
Turn your lights down low
Make the room darker
I won't let you resist
I won't take no for an answer
Early in the mornin'
In the morning
Well just a little bit
Just a small amount
Around midnight
At night
Just a little bit
Just a small amount
Walk with me
Come take a walk with me
Just a little bit
I don't need much from you
I said talk to me
I want you to converse with me
I want you to remember
It's important for you to think about
To say that you'll be mine
To commit to being my partner
Say you'll never leave me
Promise me you won't abandon me
Till the end of time
Forever
I want an eeny weeny bit
I just want a small amount of
A teeny weeny bit of your love
Your affection will do
I want an eeny weeny bit
All I need is a small amount
A teeny weeny bit of your love
A little bit of your affection
