During the 1950s, Hank played with fellow Columbus legend Rusty Bryant where he released a few LPs and 45s on King as a bandleader.

Hank recorded a couple 45s in Detroit in the style of Motor City soul during the 1960s.He had his biggest hit with "Greasy Spoon" on King in 1969.  After that he was pretty quiet as a recording artist but continued to play locally and regionally.
