Courtney had a minor impact on the soul music scene in the 60s with a series of dance hits that could be considered a proto-funk style. He made his first record for Imperial Records in 1962, but much of his work over the next few years was behind the scenes, writing with producer Buffalo Smoke released an album on RCA Records in 1976, but their proto-disco style failed to make a commercial impact.
