His accomplishments in California included background vocals for the Isley Bros, Leon Russell and Albert Collins, as well as singing with the groups Toto, the Younghearts, and Sly and the Family Stone. He also was a regular on the Gong Show, which aired back in the 70s.

Frank ended his secular music pursuit in the early 80s, and upon his rededication to Christ, reverted back to his gospel roots. He was worship leader at Lighthouse Cathedral, Evangelistic Church of God and Christ, and Alta Loma Assembly of God, all in California.
