It seemed that McPhatter was back on top. However, behind the scenes, he was dealing with alcoholism and unreliability and his career started to spiral down. Over the next few years he recorded for several smaller labels but was unable to get a hit or keep his performing career going. McPhatter moved to England.

McPhatter saw his biggest hit on Atlantic in 1958 with "A Lover's Question," which was a top 10 smash on the pop charts and a #1 seller on the R&B listings.
