Ronnie Milsap

Ronnie Milsap, a singer and pianist blind from birth, plays an often quite 'funky'-sounding mixture of country, pop and blues. His stage show is excellent. While the emphasis on his first hits was still on country, over the years Milsap has developed more and more into a pop singer who, strangely enough, reaps his successes not in pop but in country, delighting an audience of millions in the USA with music for which people outside America do not seem to have a real ear. Perhaps his music, which would once have been called easy listening, sits too much between styles after all.
In the '60s Milsap had worked as a sideman for J. J. Cale, played rock and R&B with his own band and also produced a few records. But his love of country music was stronger, and so in 1973 he signed a record deal with RCA, for which he soon became the strongest draw. Even today his records easily reach the top of the country charts.
