Also remember that he re-did a version of The Tokens "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", and made it a big hit in 1972.

He recorded the song "When The Party Is Over" for A&M Records (released only as a mono 45 single) that peaked at # 71 (Hot 100) in December of 1970. Someone on YouTube said CKLW in Windsor played that song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llYcpWLyltk
