beethoven is probably the most talented. but as far as personal tastes extending to the enjoyment of one's music, im going to go with stevie wonder. of course, im a little biased in that he is one of my all-time favorite musicians.

I remember when I was a kid the Pope came to New Orleans. There was a guy with no arms who played guitar for him with his feet. I don't remember his name, but that was freaking incredible.

I see that he has Lou Gehrig's disease which would be in line of an addiction (ie Drugs) so I won't add him so sad 🙁

are you saying lou gehrig's disease is brought on by a drug addiction?

 

[nakedfrog]

I think you mean Roy Orbison (not Obirson), but I'm gonna go with Beethoven followed by Ray Charles.
But how was Orbison handicapped?

No I'm stating that it's a disease not 1 Handicap (ie Physical)

You can't split hairs that much. Ray Charles's blindness was the result of a disease, so by this logic he is not eligible.

A physical handicap is a challenge to overcome regardless of the cause.

 

[Pr0d1gy]

Ray Charles, no matter how you wanna slice it a blind person is considered "handicapped".

Agreed, if the handicap prevented them from doing their thing, add them. Otherwise take Ray off the list.

edit: This thread needs more POLL!

Get real Physical HC is eye seeing whether where it came from...damn I was addictted to drugs and fell in front of a Bus or drove my car to fast, then lost my arm ( ie Rick Allen).
He wasn't Physically handicapped until after the fact!
