Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on October 28, 1969)

Happy Birthday, Ben Harper! May your celebration be smoother than the mellow riffs of "Steal My Kisses" and more legendary than any jam session with the Innocent Criminals. We hope it's filled with good times that are as unforgettable (and timeless) as your impeccable blend of blues, rock, folk—and let's face it—musical awesomeness.

You've given us decades worth of lyrics we'd write in our yearbooks if we still had them ("Burn One Down," anyone?). Congrats on continually crafting soulful hits and mesmerizing audiences worldwide. Keep stealing kisses from life itself because you clearly haven't aged since 1999!
