McRae was born in Waycross, Georgia, and brought up in Philadelphia and played with local ensembles, including one composed of family members, when young. He played with June Clark in 1926 before moving to New York City to found his own band. Following this he played with Charlie Johnson, Elmer Snowden (1932), Stuff Smith (1934), Lil Armstrong (1935), and Chick Webb (1936-39), the last as both a soloist and arranger.

Seine Kompositionen Back Bay Shuffle (1938) und Traffic Jam (1939) wurden Hits für Artie Shaw. 1941/43 war er bei Cab Calloway, 1942 bei Jimmie Lunceford, 1943 bei Lionel Hampton und 1944/45 war er musikalischer Leiter der Bigband von Louis Armstrong. 1945 hatte er auch kurze Zeit eine eigene Bigband. Danach spielte er noch gelegentlich in kleinen Gruppen und konzentrierte sich auf Komposition und Arrangieren. 1958 gründete er mit Eddie Wilcox das kurzlebige Label Raecox Records. Sie brachten unter anderem Aufnahmen von Bennie Green und Edmond Hall heraus. 1955/56 nahm er mit Champion Jack Dupree auf und 1955 und 1958 unter eigenem Namen.

He wrote tunes for Artie Shaw and formed his own band in 1945. He and Eddie Wilcox formed their own R&B label, , in the 1950s, though it was short-lived. Much of his work in subsequent decades was as an arranger, though he recorded with Champion Jack Dupree in 1955-56, and recorded a few sides for Groove Records in 1955 and Moonshine Records in 1958. Some of his recordings billed him as "Teddy (Mr. Bear) McRae", or simply as "Mr. Bear". (en)
