In 1953, Robinson joined Peacock Records, releasing the single "In the Sweet By and By". After several more unsuccessful releases, he decided to pursue acting, but found his studies interrupted by record promotion, and after a year he returned to music. By 1956, Robinson's career had stalled. A year later, he moved to St. Louis, Missouri, working at the Bethlehem Missionary Baptist Church as pastor for over 40 years.

Later that year, he switched to Savoy Records, releasing the hit "How Sweet It Is to Be Loved by God".[4] At the end of 1965, he again returned to Peacock, and changed his style to one more blues-influenced. He toured Europe, and switched to Nashboro Records in 1969. With Nashboro, he released his biggest hit, "Wrapped Up, Tied Up, Tangled Up." The single enjoyed crossover success with a white audience. He returned to Savoy in the 1970s. In 1975, he appeared at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. In 1980, he sang at the White House, and in 1986 released the hit "Save a Seat for Me."[5]
