In 1948, Fulson scored his first hit when Swing Time issued his "Three O'clock in the Morning Blues," a number  would rework as "Three O'clock Blues." More hits followed, including "Everyday I Have the Blues," "Blue Shadows," and "Lonesome Christmas." Fulson was playing frequent road dates, and put together a band that included  on sax and a young  on piano. ( would later record one of Fulson's songs, "Sinner's Prayer.") Fulson and his band became a staple at nightclubs and R&B package shows in the South and Southwest, and in 1954 he signed a new recording contract with Checker Records, an offshoot of the successful blues label Chess Records. His first single for Checker, "Reconsider Baby," became a major hit and the song became an oft-covered favorite, with  taking the song to the pop charts in 1960. Fulson would continue to record for Checker until 1963, scoring hits with "Loving You," "That's All Right," "Low Society," and "Hung Down Head" that featured his sharp single-note solos, soulful vocals, and subtly impassioned arrangements. After leaving Checker, Fulson struck a new deal with the R&B label Kent Records, where he used the name .
