As a teenager he wrote a song for a band he was in and the song, called "Lover, Please", was eventually recorded by Bill Black. It was later recorded by Clyde McPhatter and became a top-10 national hit. Swan late relocated to Memphis and resumed working with Bill Black, but Black became ill and died in 1965.

Swan signed a recording contract with Monument Records, and his first album for that label in 1974 featured the song "I Can Help", which shot to #1 on both the Billboard Top 100 and country charts.

He was known as an athletic, tough and hard-nosed middle linebacker who liked mixing it up. He then went on to play pro football for four years before officially retiring in 2014.
