Happy Birthday, Barrett Strong! You've certainly "Heard It Through the Grapevine" by now—you're a legend whose lyrics have kept us grooving and guessing for decades. Your timeless hits like "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone" continue to roll through generations, proving that great music never goes out of style.Today we celebrate you—the lyrical genius behind Motown's greatest stories. May your birthday be filled with laughter, joy, and perhaps fewer rolling stones (unless they're cake-shaped). Keep inspiring us all; after all these years you're still hitting the right notes—and that's something worth singing about!
