Hall worked on Mr. Charles' album "Straight Ahead". Hall has played for several notable luminaries including; Oprah Winfrey, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Rose Kennedy, and the late Nelson Mandela, who was a declared fan of his work. He also had the distinct honor of performing at Helen Keller's funeral and was specifically requested by former President William Jefferson Clinton to perform at this first inauguration ceremony. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Mr. Hall was born in Savannah Georgia. He was diagnosed with glaucoma as an infant, and lost sight in his right eye early on. After doctors informed his parents that Ellis wound eventually lose sight in his left eye as well, his parents made the decision to move the family to Boston so Ellis could attend the Perkins School for the Blind. While at Perkins, he mastered the bass, guitar, keyboards, piano, and drums readying himself for the inevitable by practicing his instrument in the dark. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>It was a very nice night of music on the lawn and after the concert we all had the chance to do a meet and great with Mr. Hall, and a photo (and of course purchased his CD).
