This success was followed by "Rock Your Little Baby To Sleep", a No.17 hit, and "Hula Love", a No.9 hit.

He also reached out to the new generation of songwriters who would become prominent during Nashville's "" of the 1970s, as he was one of the first artists to record 's "I'm Only Rockin'". Several other major country music artists later recorded this song, but under the alternate title of "T. Total Tommy". Knox also recorded songs by , and .
