RIP
I love to hear about people with a severe disability that dont let it stop them from being great.
Tragically he wasn’t born blind. A knife accident at tge age of 3 robbed him of his sight! OMG! Thats horrible!.

The great songster and writer Dallas Frazier also passed this month. So many monster hits he had. Elvira, Tell It Like It Is, 14 Karat Mind and hundreds more. R.I.P.
