Let's make this birthday one to remember.

69 years old (Born on October 01, 1955)

Happy Birthday, Howard Hewett! From grooving down the Soul Train line to becoming one-third of Shalamar alongside Jeffrey Daniel and Jody Watley in 1979, you've kept us dancing every step of the way. You've shown audiences everywhere how a smooth performer steals hearts and lights up any stage—without ever splitting those impeccably tailored pants.

From hits like "Second Time Around" to your timeless solo classics such as "I'm for Real," you continue knocking our socks off (and shoes too!). May this birthday be filled with funk-driven grooves, soulful melodies, plenty of laughs—and absolutely no dance-offs against youngsters born after Y2K.
