Editorial Review:
As a young boy he fell in love with music, and as a man, the world fell in love with his music. Ray Charles and his soulful, passionate rhythms and melodies have been embraced around the world for decades. Now, in this beautiful new edition of an award-winning biography, readers can follow Charles from his boyhood, when he lost his sight and learned to read and write music in Braille, until the age of 40, when he had become a world-renowned jazz and blues musician packing auditoriums and stadiums. And in a new introduction and afterword, the author updates Charles’s life to the present.
Ray Charles Reviews:
It is a picture book; an important title 
2008-11-22 - The winner of the first Coretta Scott King Award for illustration, making it an important title in the history of children's literature. Perhaps the customer who gave it one star did not expect a picture and thus gave it a low rating.
Childrens book 
2008-04-04 - This is nothing more than a childrens little hard back book with 34 pages of reading !It took me approx. 5 min. to "read " it !
Mostly " drawn " illistrations!
Would've been a lot better to have gone on the net & read his " biography " for free.
Don't even bother with this one.
