In 1962 he was offered the chance to record a secular novelty song by manager Ray Vernon, the brother of Link Wray. Adopting the pseudonym Bunker Hill so as not to lose his position with the Mighty Clouds of Joy, he recorded several tracks with a band including Link Wray on guitar. One of the tracks, "Hide and Go Seek", became a hit single in the United States, reaching #27 on the Billboard R&B charts and #33 on the Billboard Hot 100, and was featured in the 1988 movie Hairspray. Despite hiding his identity, he was still found out and asked to leave the Mighty Clouds of Joy as a result.
His later life is obscure, although it is believed that he did perform occasionally as a member of the Mighty Clouds of Joy before leaving the music industry in the late 1960s. According to researchers Bob Eagle and Eric LeBlanc, he died in Houston, Texas in 1986, aged 44.

The Girl Can't Dance
Bunker Hill Lyrics
Ah, you know, not everybody told me that my girl can′t dance
She's mine, all mine
You know, not everybody told me that my girl can′t dance
She's mine, all mine
Well, when she can't dance, she′d a-show her old man
But what you say about her, well, I don′t give a damn
Everybody told me that the girl can't dance
She′s mine, all mine
You know, not everybody talkin' bout a girl can′t twist
She's mine, all mine
You know, not everybody talkin′ bout a girl can't twist
She's mine, all mine
Well, when she can′t twist, she′s got sugar on her lips
So always when I twist her, I gotta go and kiss
Everybody told me that my girl can't dance
She′s mine, all mine
You know, not everybody talkin' bout a girl ain′t cute
She's mine, all mine
You know, not everybody talkin′ 'bout a girl ain't cute
She′s mine, all mine
Well, when she ain′t cute, she's goin′ over to you
There's no one to please, ′cause my tutti frutti
Everybody's talkin′ 'bout my girl ain't cute
She′s mine, all mine, hoo!
You know, not everybody told me how my girl ain′t cute
She's mine, all mine
You know, not everybody told me ′bout my girl ain't cute
She′s mine, all mine
Well, when she ain't cute, she′s goin' over to you
There's no one I please, she′s my tutti frutti
Everybody′s talkin' how my girl ain′t cute
She's mine, all mine
She′s mine, she's mine
I love her, I got her!
Ain′t [?] 'bout her, my tootie fruity!
Sugar, ice cream, no, no

I bet there was only one take of this song and that one take is what we are hearing here. After one recording all of the studio equipment, mics, amps, tape recorders- all of it got damaged beyond repair just from recording this one song that doesn't even break 2 minutes in length.
