No you don't.
His first recordings for the BBC were with the Experience, for the radio show 'Top Gear'. His years as an r'n'b sideman for the likes of Little Richard and the Isley Bros are all available but predate his move to the UK by a couple of years.

There's a fantastic compilation out there
of all his BBC sessions. It's some of his best work, and includes my favourite of all his recorded works, an instrumental called Drivin' South.

I had a cassette of this many many years ago
One of those cheapo Castle Communications releases. I really need to get the official release on a format that I can play.
Edit: And Driving South is incredible.
