Let's make this birthday one to remember.

74 years old (Born on March 05, 1951)

Happy Birthday, Michael Gore! May your day be filled with more sparkle than Irene Cara's leg warmers and brighter notes than the neon lights of "Fame." Your Oscar-winning melodies have danced their way into our hearts, proving once and for all that catchy tunes never go out of style.

From composing unforgettable hits to inspiring generations to chase their dreams (and maybe even pirouette down hallways), you've truly made us believe we can live forever. Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy as your music has brought audiences worldwide—because let's face it, you're still hitting all the right notes!
