Ronnie Milsap
Ronnie Milsap is a perennial favorite among the country stars centered in Nashville. Born blind and poor in the Smoky Mountain region of North Carolina, Milsap learned to make music as a youngster. He decided in 1973 to concentrate on country tunes after having played rhythm and blues, classical, and even rock and roll. Since then, to quote Los Angeles Times contributor Thomas K. Arnold, Milsap has been “to country music what Stevie Wonder is to pop. They’re both prodigious hit-makers, they’re both considered legends in their respective genres and they’re both blind.” With hits such as “Pure Love,” “Smokey Mountain Rain” and “I Wouldn’t Have Missed It For the World,” Milsap is revered as one of the top 40 Male Country Artist.
