"I
Can't

Blind
from
the
age
of
seven,
Charles
was
a
gifted
pianist
and
saxophonist
who
taught
himself
to
compose
and
arrange
music
by
braille,
then
went
on
to
become
one
of
the
most
successful
African-American
artists
of
the
20th
century.
He
began
recording
in
the
late
1940s,
and
in
the
1950s
had
success
with
soul
and
gospel-influenced
originals
such
as
"Hallelujah
I
Love
Her
So"
and
"I
Got
a
Woman"
(covered
by
Elvis
Presley).
Charles
had
a
1959
rock
hit
with
"What'd
I
Say"
and
in
the
1960s
had
a
string
of
hits
that
blended
jazz,
rock,
soul,
country
and
gospel.
He
won
his
first
of
a
dozen
Grammys
in
1961
and
was
voted
best
male
singer
five
years
in
a
row
(1961-66)
by
jazz
critics
in
Downbeat
magazine.
His
reputation
as
one
of
the
greats
secure,
Charles
spent
the
rest
of
his
career
touring
and
releasing
occasional
records,
including
compilations
and
jazz
and
country
duets.
His
many
famous
songs
include
"Busted,"
"Ruby"
"Take
These
Chains
From
My
Heart"
and
"Crying
Time."
In
2005
Charles's
last
album,
Genius
Loves
Company,
won
7
Grammy
awards,
including
Album
of
the
Year
and
Record
of
the
Year
(for
"Here
We
Go
Again,"
his
duet
with
Norah
Jones).

"Georgia
On
My
Mind"
became
the
