Early Life and Musical Influences
Fulton Allen, known as Blind Boy Fuller, was born in Wadesboro, North Carolina in 1907.
The son of Calvin Allen and Mary Jane Walker, he was one of ten children. As a child, Fulton learned to play guitar and developed a deep appreciation for traditional folk songs.
Marriage and Blindness
In 1925, Fulton married Cora Allen, who was just 14 years old to his 18.
Shortly after, Fulton's eyesight began to deteriorate, leading to complete blindness in 1929. There are conflicting stories surrounding his blindness, with one claiming that it was caused by an acid attack from a former girlfriend.
