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 Roy
