Stevie Wonder credited Ray Charles with inspiring him to have faith in his talent after they were introduced by record company bosses.
When he recorded his 'Tribute to Uncle Ray' LP in 1962, he was overwhelmed to receive words of wisdom from Ray Charles, but he had no idea Charles was also unable to see.
He said, 'It was only when I was 11 and I recorded 'Tribute To Uncle Ray', that I found out he was blind. I think it was at the Ford Auditorium, or maybe the Masonic Temple in Detroit, Michigan. He came out of his dressing room, and some people were leading him over to me. He was kind of jumping up and down a little bit. I presented him with the album and he said, 'Keep on doing what you're doing, young man.' And his drummer gave me a pair of drumsticks. I was so happy!
