He also sung rhythm and blues and owned his own record label with songs such as “Never Forget,” "My Tender Love,” and "Bouquet of Roses,” just to name a few. He achieved his dream of building, owning, and operating several restaurants, being known for his” Nunny Chicken.” After he retired from the City of Charlotte for 25 years, he traveled.
