"It was the greatest place to grow up in the world. "Everybody knew everybody, and everybody liked everybody," he said in the 2010 Journal-Constitution interview. He remembered his time there, before national fame, with fondness. In 2010, he announced he would end his last official tour with a concert in Marietta, not far from the school that once banned him. Royal went on to do well with country songs such as "I'll Pin a Note on Your Pillow," "Tell It Like It Is" and "'Till I Can't Take It Anymore." The song had nothing to do with space travel, but given its title, radio stations stopped playing it. It looked like he might have a big hit in 1986 with "Burned Like a Rocket." But just as the song was gaining in popularity, the Challenger space shuttle tragedy occurred. Royal moved back to Georgia and eventually landed in Nashville, where he worked to revive his career. "Kenny Rogers lived down the street from me," Royal recalled, "and Kenny was tearing the world up singing country music. But he noticed that other singers who had pop hits had successfully switched genres. I was getting a divorce," he told the Journal-Constitution. Royal moved to Los Angeles, but his brand of pop music was falling out of favor.
