Let's make this birthday one to remember.

77 years old (Born on July 17, 1947)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Abraham Laboriel Sr.! With over 4,000 recordings under your belt (or should we say bass strap?), you've officially played more notes than most of us have had hot dinners. Rumor has it that studios now measure their success by how many times they've booked you—you're practically a musical good luck charm!

From jazz grooves and pop hits to film scores galore, your incredible talent continues making history one funky riff at a time. May this birthday be as timelessly cool as every track you've graced with those magical fingers! Keep slapping that bass—we're all listening in awe!
