Happy 68th birthday to Robert Plant.
Robert Plant, I hope you're having a happy birthday, sir.
It's all in your smile that brings
All of the special things about you
Happy 78th Birthday to the guy who discover Don and his band Shiloh, Kenny Rogers.
Thank goodness Kenny agreed to see them at that club because what if he didn't? So many fates that had to come together for Don and Glenn to meet and form the Eagles.
Happy birthday to Joe Strummer who would've been 64 today. My dad and him share the same birthday, but my dad's a year younger. Happy birthday to my dad too, even though he has nothing to do with rock and roll, other than liking Journey, CCR, Sammy Hagar, and etc.

Happy belated birthdays to Deep Purple singer Ian Gillan and Ginger Baker (19th August) and Robert Plant (20th August)! It's awesome to share my birthday with the first two and also almost share it with Robert!
WS82 has already posted a few videos for Ginger Baker so I'll do one each for Ian and Robert, two of rock's greatest vocalists.
Ian Gillan: Deep Purple - Maybe I'm A Leo

(this one has particular meaning for me given that I share his date of birth as well as his star sign! It's funny because quite a lot of great musicians seem to be born in late July and August.)
Robert Plant: Led Zeppelin - Immigrant Song (Live)
