I was listening to Pandora with my mom and we found Ronnie Milsap on an 80's country station and Mom and I were surprised at how Ronnie Milsap was the number one country artist in the 80's. Because it seemed that Ronnie had scored lots of hits during the 80's and he was very big. Was Ronnie Milsap trying to boost his popularity as a country star and would he go on to being very famous in the 90's? I also heard that Ronnie Milsap now is singing bluegrass music now and did he ever get his vision fixed too? Because I know Ronnie Milsap was blind as well

As far as I know, Ronnie is still a blind person to this day. I believe that he is now retired as well. I feel for him because both his son and wife have already passed away. :( :( :(

God bless you and Ronnie always!!!

Ronnie Milsap retired? I didn't even know that and it surprised me. Because Mom used to like a lot of his songs and the last I heard he sang a wonderful version of When You Wish Upon A Star back in 2003 for a Disney bluegrass album
