Let's make this birthday one to remember.

75 years old (Born on May 14, 1949)

Happy Birthday, Bob! May your celebration be as timeless and unforgettable as "The Gospel at Colonus," where you masterfully got Morgan Freeman to sing his heart out alongside the legendary Five Blind Boys. Who else could blend classic drama with gospel like a musical smoothie worthy of Pulitzer recognition?

Thanks for composing soundtracks that make us feel sophisticated while scarfing popcorn in dark theaters—your melodies stick around longer than theater gum on our shoes! Keep hitting those keys; we eagerly await more magic drawn from your fingertips. Here's wishing laughter-filled curtain calls and standing ovations throughout this year ahead!
