A few months later it would become a million-selling single for the more popular blind pianist, Ray Charles. This was followed by several Ashford And Simpson, compositions, including the memorable "Let's Go Get Stoned", which, unfortunately for Milsap, was relegated to a b-side. He released his first single, Total Disaster, in 1963 at the age of twenty. The school stressed classical music training but he preferred country, gospel and rhythm-and-blues. Milsap showed musical aptitude at an early age. He was abandoned by his mother as an infant and raised by his grandparents until the age of five, when he was sent to the Governor Morehead School for the Blind in Raleigh, North Carolina. Milsap was born in Robbinsville, North Carolina with a congenital disorder that left him almost completely blind. He became country music's first well-known blind singer, and one of the most successful and versatile country "crossover" singers of his time, appealing to both country and pop music music markets with successful songs that incorporated pop, R&B, and rock and roll elements. He was one of country music's most popular and influential performers of the 1970s and 1980s.
Ronnie Lee Milsap (born January 16, 1943) is an American country music singer and pianist.
