Grammy Award-winning artist Ronnie Milsap is one of the most influential voices in country music’s storied history. Born in Robbinsville, North Carolina at the edge of the Smoky Mountains, he was enveloped in his early years by country music. He received classical training at the Governor Morehead School for the Blind, though he notoriously frustrated his teachers by banging out Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard on the keyboard when he was supposed to be practicing Mozart and Beethoven.
