Happy Belated 87th Birthday to Frank Sugar Chile Robinson! He was a Self-taught, child prodigy piano player.
Frank Isaac Robinson, known in his early musical career as Sugar Chile Robinson, is an American jazz pianist and singer. A Detroit native, Robinson became famous as a child prodigy in the mid-1940s.
Robinson was born in Detroit, Michigan, the youngest of seven children of Clarence A. and Elizabeth Robinson.[4][5] His father was a truck driver,[6] but eventually the family owned a neighborhood store.[1] At an early age, Frank showed unusual gifts, reciting the alphabet at 6 months old, reading at age three, and singing the blues and accompanying himself on the piano before he was two years old.[1][6] According to contemporary newsreels, he was self-taught and managed to use techniques including slapping the keys with elbows and fists.[7] Robinson won a talent show at the Paradise Theatre in Detroit at age three.
He was a small person, weighing only 40 lb (18 kg) at age 7.[6] Even as an adult, he was under 5 ft (1.5 m) tall.[1] Because of his youth and stature, he often played piano while standing.[6]
His mother died when he was about five years old.[6]
After retiring from his childhood musical career in 1959, Robinson earned a degree in history from Olivet College and one in psychology from the Detroit Institute of Technology.
A small drawing from earlier
I drew this earlier cause I got bored, I know I have a lot of art request but I don't know if I want to work on them yet I feel so lazy and tired. (maybe because I don't sleep that well)
I was trying to draw curly hair in a different style then I've been doing. I guess it's alright!

i have a mad respect for people who are ✨self-taught✨. it might be due to inability to afford expertise or any other reason. it's a thousand times more an achievement, no matter if you are still a novice.
In 1962 at the age of 71, Joseph E. Yoakum (1891–1972) reported having a dream that inspired him to draw. Thereafter the retired veteran began a daily practice and over the next 10 years produced some 2,000 works.
