Brave
Ray Charles was born on September 23rd in Albany, Georgia. When was a baby he moved to Greenville Florida. That is really far right? When Ray was five his four year old brother drowned. It was very sad for Ray, but then two years later Ray began to loose sight. In Greenville Ray went to a school for deaf and blind people. That is when Ray Charles learned how to play the organ, the saxophone, the piano, the clarinet, and the trumpet. That's awesome for someone that is blind.
