Clarence Carter
Guitar, Vocals
Visual impairment : Blind since birth
Born in Montgomery, Alabama, on January 4, 1936, Clarence grew up and learned to play guitar from listening to records by John Lee Hooker, Lightnin' Hopkins and Jimmy Reed. He attended Alabama State College in Montgomery where he earned a music degree. By the time he graduated, Carter had developed sufficiently diverse skills that on his recordings, he would not only sing and play guitar but also occasionally do his own keyboard work and write and arrange, writing charts in Braille.
