“At age five, the music genius developed glaucoma and by the age of seven had lost his sight completely. He studied at the Georgia State School for the Deaf and Blind, and by 1947 had formed a jazz trio with a new sound—a blend of gospel, soul and blues—which catapulted him to stardom in 1959 with “What’d I Say?”, and, as they say, the rest is history.” – Harry Benson
