Several follow-ups written (or co-written) by Chase - "(That's) What The Nitty Gritty Is", "The Name Game", and "The Clapping Song (Clap Pat Clap Slap)" - also made the US pop charts. In 1973, Chase released a second album under his own name, "Lincoln Chase 'N You", on Paramount Records. Featuring drummer Idris Muhammad, it has been described as "trippy, odd and funky all at the same time...a bit like a black Frank Zappa but groovier." Chase died in the Atlanta area on October 6, 1980 at the age of 54.
