Clarke scored a chart hit of his own with The Entertainer which hit #10 R&B and #31 Pop in the US in 1965. Clarke died in 1970, too late to see his career see a resurgence in the 1970s on the UK northern soul scene. The intense devotion was given to an obscure Chess single, Landslide, and a song recorded later in Detroit on MS called (They Call Me) A Wrong Man.

Clarke also had a minor role in the Sidney Poitier film They Call Me MISTER TIBBS! in 1970.
