If you have extra tidbits to share, please do so. It's always interesting to learn more.
Who learned to play piano at the age of 5, was blinded from glaucoma at 6 and quit school at 15 after his mother died to pursue a career in music - Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles or Ronnie Milsap?

Definitely Stevie or Ray.... I know there was a movie about Ray Charles that I have not seen.I'll go with Ray Charles as my guess.

Offhand, it can't be Stevie, his Mom wrote, or helped him write, some of his earliest songs when he first started out.I always thought Ray Charles was born blind, as was Stevie.
But the left school at fifteen part was more his era's acceptable thing to do, before age restrictions were put in place. I found out recently that my Dad only completed school through eighth grade, although curriculum back then was more challenging in many ways.My guess is therefore Ray Charles.
I'll admit I know little to nothing about Ronnie Milsap, except he was blind, sang country music, and wasn't around for very long in the Seventies' country music heyday.

P.S. Let it be known I prefer bluegrass music to country, so any comments about longevity in country music is probably inaccurate. I only became familiar with country music of the seventies through all my sisters' love of the genre, though I did find I really liked some performers of the era. But I was still more inclined elsewhere, and endured my suffering with reasonable grace. :-p

Ray Charles who changed his name from Ray Charles Robinson to prevent confusion with boxer Sugar Ray Robinson. His million-seller first Top Ten pop hit 'What'd I Say?' was banned by some white-owned stations.
