CHUCK ROBERSON |
|
Born in Augusta, GA, Chuck Roberson is a dynamic singer that sounds like a cross between Jackie Wilson and Tyrone Davis. Roberson began his musical career in the mid-'70s issuing several singles on the Albradella label, including such titles as "Love Affair," "You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone," and "I Feel It Coming," which enjoyed regional success but failed to break through nationally. In the late '70s, Roberson relocated to Philadelphia in hopes of launching a disco career, but eventually returned back home in 1983. Things improved for Chuck with the release of two LPs in the late '80s. "I Don't Think You Heard Me Yet" on Traction Records and "Lollypop Man" on Vision raised his profile. "Lollypop Man" became his signature tune. In 1991 he released an obscure LP, "The More We Are Together", on a Florida label called Soul Potion. That record was a flop but he was signed by Ecko Records in 1996. The label positioned him as a singer of goodtime Southern Soul Blues on his debut LP "Something Good For You" . This formula continued for six more albums for the label before Chuck found himself back on the independent level. He promptly formed his own imprint, Cruise On Records, and issued a new record in 2005 called "Expressions Of Yesterday". The release compiled the choicest sides from his first two LPs from the late 80s with the addition of several new songs. In 2008 Roberson signed with CDS Records for a full band CD with 100% real instruments due later this year!
