However, Vinnett is perhaps best known for his work as a radio DJ for New Orleans radio stations WBOK and WYLD. His show Get Down was broadcasted in 35 U.S. cities and featured the soulful sounds of R&B superstars like Ray Charles, BB King, and Michael Jackson. His voice was also featured in commercials for Popeyes among other companies.

Family members say Vinnett made friends everywhere he went, but he especially cherished his close relationships with musicians Allen Toussaint, King Floyd, and Lloyd Price.
