A sole 1985 release by Atlanta International Records was followed by one from Miracle Records. Some of the recordings featured his congregation's choir, The Bostonians. In the 1990s he occasionally appeared with Reverend Clay Evans.Mays also co-owned a Beale Street record shop. He produced gospel records for The Johnson Ensemble and The Masonic Travelers under Jewel Records,Ollie Collins Jr under Song Bird, and a secular one for The Seven Brothers.

His gospel TV program on Sundays, broadcast from about 1966 on WMC-TV, was the first such program hosted by an African-American in Memphis. In its last years it was broadcast by WHBQ-TV. Mays' church sermons were aired on the WLOK and WBBP local radio stations.Mays' 1966 album and a 1971 song show conflicting attitudes about the Vietnam War.
