At the age of 2 he could play piano, at 5 he appeared in public and at 9 he made his first record. He performed for President Harry S. Truman at the White House Correspondent's Association Dinner in 1946, becoming the first African-American to be invited.

"Numbers Boogie" reached No. 4 on the Billboard R&B charts in 1949.

He was pushed into stardom too soon and disappeared from the scene a few years later.

In 2016, President Obama invited Robinson back to the White House Correspondent's Dinner to celebrate the 70th anniversary of his appearance there.
