His version of George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" was used in Pontiac commercials during the early-1970s. The song reached #48 in Canada in 1973.
The songs "Super Strut" and "Latin Flute" were featured on the soundtrack of the video game Grand Theft Auto Vice City. The track "Super Strut" was also covered by the acid jazz band The Apostles on their 1992 eponymous album.
