A recent Shout made me think, who is the greatest blind singer?

[Beerball]

For me the answer is Bocelli. Who ya got?

[Gugny]

As flattered as I am to be mentioned in the same breath as these great singers, my vote went to Mr. Ray Charles.

 

And we all know damn well that Stevie Wonder can see.

[Greg S]

For me its Stevie Wonder.

Can honestly say I didn't know Andrea Bocelli is blind....explains why he didn't wave back when i saw him open for the Pope!

I saw Jeff Healey in concert in 1993.

When he played the Star Spangled Banner on a guitar with his feet, we not only blew the roof off the place, but we all witnessed an artist who was truly in a league all by himself.

It’s difficult to signal out one of these artist’s from the rest, so I’m casting a vote for each of them.  
They have all brought something fond and special to our hearts and to the musical generation as a whole.

Sorry.  Just getting in early if he decides to diversify into fungibles.

And even then they get it wrong.  Unless of course EII was being facetious.

I thought this was a thread about NBC's next reality show "America's Next Top Masked Blind Singer Show Us What You Got So We Can Smell Your Voice"

You started this, so I’ll ask you: Does blind drunk at karaoke count? I’ve seen some pretty good acts! 

 

I’m torn between Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles. I think Stevie is better, but I enjoy Ray Charles more. Since I can’t decide, I’m going with @Gugny instead!
