In a school for the disabled in Florida, the clever Charles quickly learned to "read" music scores in Braille, and started music creation by relying on his diligence and musical talent.

Only as a teenager, Charles mastered playing a variety of musical instruments, especially on the piano. His talent took him to a height that many people with normal vision could not reach.

His performance was an unprecedented success, and he has since embarked on his unremitting pursuit of music, which exhausted his life.

His records began to sell well, and many singles appeared on the charts. He was invited to start his first solo concert in Europe, and he blended various types of music and continued to develop their charm.

He supported and promoted young black musicians and defended the rights of himself and other blacks. His forceful words repelled the eyes of countless racists, and his upright and tall figure also inspired a large number of young artists to bravely advance.
