How did ray charles overcome his disability if he did?

Question

i need helpp with this, or did he not overcome it

Answer 1

Ray Charles Robinson was born in Albany, Georgia on September 23, 1930 (he shares a birthday with another musical icon, John Coltrane).

Charles was not born blind - he lost his sight to undiagnosed glaucoma at age seven. He enrolled in the St. Augustine (Fla) School for the deaf and blind, where he developed his enormous musical gift. After his mother's death, he set out as a solo act, modeling himself after Nat "King" Cole.

Soon he found himself in Seattle, Washington, where he met a young Quincy Jones, and established a name for himself in clubs. It was then that he dropped the "Robinson" from his name to avoid confusion with the legendary boxer.

He would not let blindness keep him from achieving his goals in life. He persevered and he overcame his disability.
