Blind Inspiration

Stevie Wonder claims he had no idea his musical idol Ray Charles was blind.

The singer, who has been sightless all his life, was inspired to be a musician by the late soul legend - but did not realise they shared the same disability until they met.

The 'Superstition' star, who named his debut album 'A Tribute to Uncle Ray', told Uncut magazine: "It was only when I was 11 and I recorded 'Tribute To Uncle Ray' that I found out he was blind.

"It was after a performance and he came out of his dressing room and someone led him over to me. "He was kind of jumping up and down a bit."

The 55-year-old singer, who has had more than 30 hits in his 40-year career, says that first meeting with Ray gave him the determination to succeed.

He added: "I presented him with the album and he said, 'Keep on doing what you're doing, young man'.

"And his drummer gave me a pair of drumsticks. I was so happy!"



Every man can see things far off but is blind to what is near.
