Let's make this birthday one to remember.

79 years old (Born on May 04, 1946)

Happy Birthday, Richard Rudolph! Another year older and still hitting all the right notes—clearly you've found the secret to staying timeless. From crafting unforgettable classics like Minnie Riperton's "Memory Lane" to producing soulful gems with Teena Marie, your musical genius continues to inspire generations.

Here's hoping your birthday is filled with harmony (and cake!) as sweet as those legendary melodies you've gifted us over the years. May you keep composing life's greatest hits—and may this next chapter be even more memorable than 1979! Cheers to you, maestro; you're truly one of music's finest producers and composers ever known.
