Moving to Los Angeles, California in 1933, he formed his own band, the
Solid Senders, with Camille Howard on piano.
He performed in local clubs and began recording in the 1940s, his first release being "Milton's Boogie" on his own record label.

His big break came in 1945, when his "R.M. Blues", on the new Juke Box
label, became a hit, reaching #2 on the Billboard R'n'B chart and #20 on
the pop chart. Its success helped establish Art Rupe's company, which he
shortly afterwards renamed Specialty Records.....
