In the 1950s, Wolcott started his professional music career by recording several calypso albums as a singer under the name The Charmer. He also performed on tour. In February 1955, using part of his middle name, Eugene, Calypso Gene was headlining a show in Chicago, Illinois, entitled Calypso Follies. One of his songs was on the top 100 Billboard Chart for five years in a row. There he first came in contact with the teachings of the Nation of Islam (NOI) through Rodney Smith, a friend and saxophonist from Boston. Wolcott and his wife Betsy were invited to the Nation of Islams annual Saviours Day address by Elijah Muhammad
