There wasn't a dry eye in the theatre. On last Tuesday's season premiere of America's Got Talent, 22 year old Kodi Lee, who is blind and has autism, positioned himself at the piano and brought the judges and audience to tears as he sang. "I'm going to remember this for the rest of my life," Simon Cowell said. New judge Gabrielle Union gave Lee the golden buzzer, which means he's going straight to the finals. Overnight, Lee has become a phenomenon. Did you see his performance on the show?

Kodi's story is an inspiration and a testament to the power of passion and determination. Despite being diagnosed with autism and having no vision in either of his eyes, Kodi hasn't let much stop him from his true potential. His mother Tina had told the judges that being a singer is Kodi's life-long dream, before going on to add that even when her son was an infant, the only thing he wanted to do was perform. He is one of only approximately 25 musical prodigious savant in the world today. Kodi's amazing gift lies within his musical expression, perfect pitch, and passion for all forms of music. Kodi has an audio photographic memory, in which he can recall music he hears after just one listen. An unbelievable gift in itself, but his musical expression and prowess top even that. He has been performing all over the globe for years. He also shares his gift to help bring awareness to autism and many other charitable organizations. Do you have a child or young adult with autism in your family, and if so, is this young man an inspiration?

This is not the first time a contestant on the show has risen above their "disability" to shine. In fact, AGT has had its share of inspiring stories, starting with Susan Boyle, who wowed the judges on Britiain's Got Talent in 2009, despite being on the Autism Spectrum. Do you remember any of these other contestants?
