I am done with exam and now have time to indulge my craziest of writing whims. This week I am doing a short series on blind musicians.
Starting the series off is one of my favorite musicians and by far one of the blindest. Stevie Wonder was born in Saginaw, Michigan in 1950. He was the third of six children to Calvin Judkins and Lula Mae Hardaway. His birth was six weeks premature. As a result of his prematurity, the blood vessels at the back of his eyes had not yet reached the front. The aborted vessel growth caused the retinas to detach. The medical term for this condition is retinopathy of prematurity, or ROP.
