Let's make this birthday one to remember.

77 years old (Born on April 17, 1948)

Happy Birthday, Jan Hammer! Your iconic synth beats from the "Miami Vice Theme" and unforgettable melodies of "Crockett's Theme" still have us rolling up our sleeves, donning pastel suits, and cruising down neon-lit streets—even if it's just in our imaginations. Thanks to you, we can't hear a synthesizer without picturing Crockett chasing bad guys or Tubbs looking effortlessly cool.

From scoring 90 episodes of Miami Vice to bringing your musical magic across the pond with 20 episodes of Britain's hit show Chancer—you've truly hammered home some timeless tunes. Here's wishing you another year filled with rhythmically smooth adventures!
