If you want to tune into some blues today, tune into the Internet Radio Show "Soul of the Blues" with Cassie J. Fox. This is "Podcast and Blues, Today's topic is Roy Roberts.

Roy Roberts is singing the blues. He's a blues musician, record producer, and singer and songwriter. Roberts grew up in a small town in Livingston, Tennessee listening to blues and R&B on radio stations. At the age of 14 he worked on a nearby farm to earn the money for his first guitar, a mail order Sears Silvertone.

Roberts left farm-life at age 18 to live with an uncle in Greensboro, North Carolina. He was inspired to become a professional musician after he went to a nightclub where Jerry Butler was performing.

Roy Roberts began to cut records in the mid-1960s, staying mostly behind the scenes as a session man with Eddie Floyd, Dee Clark, Stevie Wonder, William Bell, Solomon Burke, and Otis Redding. The death of Otis Redding inspired Roberts to step up to the microphone with a song dedicated to Otis.

In the early 1990s, Roberts returned to Greensboro, and built Rock House Records recording studio. There he recorded his own material and produced albums for Priscilla Price and Floyd Miles and Eddie Floyd just to name a few.
