TED ROBERSON began playing guitar in the middle 50's 

with local gospel groups in his hometown, Angier, North 

Carolina.  Early in 1964 he joined Les Cooper and the 

House Rockers as a guitarist.  The group's biggest hit 

record was called Wiggle Wobble.  He toured with Cooper 

and the Rockers until he was drafted in the army in 1966 

for a two year tour of service during the Vietnam War, 

during which he faced active combat.  

Returning home in 1968, Ditto Edwards (of Ditto and The 

Lovers) recruited Mr. Roberson to tour Europe and the 

Middle East as their lead guitarist and vocalist. 

In 1970 Ted created, arranged and produced the 

preliminary cuts for "We've Got To Bust Out Of The 

Ghettos" in his home studio in a collaboration with 

Ricky Williams (brilliant pianist) and Moody Scott (the 

legendary R&B, Soul and Blues Singer.)  The album 

production was sounding so good, Roberson decided to 

complete the production of "Bust Out" at Odds On Studio 

in Las Vegas where, in the final version Ted also did 

bass guitar and background vocals on the recordings.

In 1971 Mr. Roberson toured Europe again, this time with 

Ditto and The Lovers and the USO show, predominantly as 

lead guitar and background vocalist.  
After a year, good as the music he was making was, Ted 

decided he needed to do more of his own music.  He 

collected the best musicians he could find and formed 

his own group called The N.Y. Stock Exchange.  Pierre 

Royal, a booking agent in Montréal Canada heard the 

group play and immediately sent them on a five year 

touring through Canada from St.Catherine’s to Nova 

Scotia, Roberson doing lead vocals and guitar.
In 1976, exhausted from the non-musical work necessary 

to keep the band running, Ted disbanded the group and 

the Bill Doggett Combo, then famous for the song, Honky 

Tonk recruited him for another long tours, this time of 

America, from the east to the west coast. 
That tour brought Roberson into doing a long series of 

gigging free lances with Don Covey, Ben E. King, Noble 

Watts, Etta James, Wilbert Harrison, Donny Albert, Eddy 

Holman and dozens of other greats.  During that time 

Roberson collaborated with Moody as co- writer arranger 

producer, and Ted on lead, bass and rhythm guitar, 

keyboards and back up vocals as they produced the very 

popular CD, The Many Moods of Moody. 
Taking a very long break from touring, Mr. Roberson now 

enjoys doing local gigs with his favorite musicians 

(Warren Daniels,Kenny Barone,Gregg Wise,Lou Green,Denard 

MichaelsRicky Williams, Moody Scott).  Ted writes and 

records more and more of his own music.  He says, "I 

just love making music!" and you can sure hear that in 

his work.

My woman been cheating
Messing with my head
No I,m not the only man
 feeling her pain.
Sneaking, lyin breakin my heart
tearing my life apart
She looks like an angel
Just a Devil in disguise
Pretty smile so deceving
I'm not her only man
Bit by bit she's breaking my heart
Tearing my world apart
 She smiles like an Angel
But she's a Devil in disguise
Ah, yeah.Oh,oh,oh
She's so convencing
But she'll take you apart,bit by bit
She'll break your heart and leave you
standing a lone
Oh yeah,oh yeah

Cheatin' Woman( Ted Roberson)

2/1/2015  Lyric,vocals and music( Ted Roberson)
Jesus Was There
So many roads I've traveled,some filled with hurt and sorrow. 
Jesus was there holding my hand

I walked blind some times. Wandering,
Didn't know which way to go 
Could not choose,right or wrong.  
Standing at the crossroads but not alone

Chorus:
So many roads I've traveled,some filled with hurt and sorrow. 
Jesus was there holding my hand
So many roads I've traveled,some filled with hurt and sorrow. 
Jesus was there holding my hand
 
There were times when life was good.  Count my blessing,pray in his name. 
When hard times come down.Keep my faith
Glad to be where I am.

Chorus:
So many roads I've traveled,some filled with hurt and sorrow. 
Jesus was there holding my hand
So many roads I've traveled,some filled with hurt and sorrow. 
Jesus was there holding my hand

Mini Bridge:
Jesus,oh,oh yeah, walked with me
Jesus,oh,oh yeah, rhode  with me
Jesus,oh,oh yeah , shared my sorrows 
he showed me the way 

Chorus:
So many roads I've traveled,some filled with hurt and sorrow. 
Jesus was there holding my hand
So many roads I've traveled,some filled with hurt and sorrow. 
Jesus was there holding my hand

Ending.           
(NOTE:) (Sing chorus while lead vocal ad-libs.
Ad-lib
standing In the cross roads,in the wrong lane
 Don't know where to turn,which way do I go.
Driving down the wrong way thru a dead end street.
sometimes happiness sometimes  sorrow.   
When I'm hurting God feels my pain
When I'm hurting he knows my name
