I meet Ken Norton, he was great, we walked along the isle listening to Amazing Grace and he had joy.

Kenneth H. Norton
"THE CHAMP"
In 1973, the 6' 2 ¾", 220 pound Ken Norton made boxing history when he met Muhammad Ali for the heavyweight title, and won, breaking Ali's jaw in the process. In 1986, Norton was in a car crash that left him with a fractured skull, jaw, and broken leg and no recollection of what had happened. Through it all, he remained a positive thinker and would not accept any prognosis but his own. His doctor told him that he would not walk or talk again after the accident, but Norton refused to accept any prediction that did not include what he visualized. Norton said "At first they thought I might die, and if I didn't die, I wouldn't be coherent. Now I'm talkin' and walkin' and I can even chew gum at the same time."
Then i meet, The KING of Blues, one of the most talented artists of
Although it did break my heart to see him in a wheelchair because all i have known of him in 22 years has been his talent and spectrum of jamming on his guitar
