Después del servicio nacional, Goddard buscó entrar en la música popular y conoció a Joe Meek. Inicialmente intentó establecerse como cantante-pianista bajo el nombre artístico "Anton Hollywood". Meek lo promocionó, pero no pudo lograr el éxito. Goddard lanzó cuatro sencillos como artista solista, producidos por Meek, en los que cantó con su distintivo acento regional:

También escribió y actuó en el lado B del sencillo "Jungle Fever" de The Tornados. Goddard se retiró de la industria musical después de una disputa con Meek. En 1985, las regalías y el disco de platino de la versión de "Johnny Remember Me" de Marc Almond/Bronski Beat, que vendió más de 300.000 copias, llegaron como una sorpresa completa para él.
