Watson graduated from Fuller Elementary and Wendell Phillips High School in Chicago in 1943 and 1950, respectively. In 1949, Watson became a member of the gospel music group the Roberta Martin Singers (RMS), led by its venerable namesake Roberta Martin. He would go on to perform with the co-ed singing group both nationally and abroad, recording gospel standards such as Old Ship of Zion in 1949, Yield Not To Temptation in 1947, and He Knows How Much You Can Bear in 1949. He also appeared on the group's first major hit, 1958's God Specializes, which featured RMS member, Gloria Griffin, on lead.

After retiring, Watson lived in Philadelphia with his wife and four children.;
