Casou-se com Cora Allen jovem e trabalhou como operário, mas começou a perder a visão em sua adolescência. Segundo o pesquisador Bruce Bastin , " Enquanto ele estava morando em Rockingham , ele começou a ter problemas com seus olhos. Ele foi ver um médico em Charlotte que supostamente lhe disse que ele tinha úlceras por trás de seus olhos, o dano original foi causada por algum forma de neve - cegueira " . Apenas a primeira parte deste diagnóstico foi correto . Um exame oftalmológico 1937 atribuiu sua perda de visão para os efeitos a longo prazo da conjuntivite neonatal não tratada. Em 1928 ele estava completamente cego, e virou-se para qualquer emprego que conseguiu encontrar como cantor e artista, muitas vezes tocando nas ruas. Allen (Fuller) tornou-se um guitarrista formidável , tocando nas esquinas e em festas em Winston-Salem, Carolina do Norte, Danville, VA, e depois Durham , Carolina do Norte. Em Durham , tocando em torno dos armazéns de tabaco , ele desenvolveu um local na sequência que incluiu guitarristas do Conselho Floyd e Richard Trice , bem como gaitista Saunders Terrell , mais conhecido como Sonny Terry , e seu washboard / guitarrist George Washington. Fuller foi submetido a uma cistostomia suprapúbica em julho de 1940 (provavelmente um resultado de excesso de bebida ) , mas continuou a necessitar de tratamento médico . Ele morreu em sua casa em Durham, Carolina do Norte em 13 de fevereiro de 1941 às 5:00. Os exames detectaram uma infecção da bexiga, trato gastrointestinal e períneo , além de insuficiência renal. Fuller Ele era tão popular quando morreu que seu amigo Brownie McGhee gravou " The Death of Blind Boy Fuller " para a gravadora Very Well e então relutantemente começou uma carreira de curta duração como Blind Boy Fuller No. 2, de modo que a Columbia Records poderia lucrar com sua popularidade.
