southeastern United States. At age five, he gradually began to

lose his vision4

three. At seven, he left home to attend the Florida School for

and trumpet. While he was at the school, his mother died. At

his own unique sound. He combined jazz and blues with gospel6

music to create his first big hit recording, "I Got a Woman." On"I Got a Woman," Charles began to sing in a more emotional,

intense, and exciting voice. He later said, "When I started to sing

like myself ... when I started singing like Ray Charles, it had this

spiritual and churchy, this religious or gospel sound." This recording

made him famous and marked the beginning of a new musical

genre, "soul.7

Throughout his life, Charles continued to write and

Eric Clapton and his son, Conor, in 1990

13/27

Tears in Heaven

The Eric Clapton song "Tears in Heaven" is a tributeto Conor

Clapton, Eric's pre-school son. On 20 March 1991 at 11 a.m., four-and-a-half-year-old Conor Clapton died when he fell from a 53rd-

storywindow in a New York City apartment. He landed onthe roofof

an adjacentfour story building.

The death of his son had a deep impacton Eric Clapton. Fornine months the grieving father concentrated on coming to terms

with his loss rather than on performing. When he returned to the

stage, his music had changed, becoming softer, more powerful, and

more reflective. "Tears in Heaven" was Clapton's way of pouringhis

griefand growing acceptance of Conor's loss into his music. At the

1993 Grammy Awards, Clapton's recording of "Tears in Heaven" won

the award for Best Pop Vocal Performance (Male Category).
