Ray Charles was impressive, and thanks for the link.

Charles began dabbling in music at 3, encouraged by a cafe owner who played the piano. The knowledge was basic, but he was that much more prepared for music classes when he was sent away, heartbroken, to the state-supported St. Augustine School for the Deaf and the Blind.

The school that taught him must feel proud of his achievements too I think, it must of helped.
