Let's make this birthday one to remember.

75 years old (Born on January 05, 1950)

Happy Birthday, Charlie Richmond! Another year older and still inventing ways to make sound designers everywhere look smarter than they actually are. Your groundbreaking work in the '70s set a high bar—so high that we're all still trying (and mostly failing) to catch up.

From pioneering innovations back then, you've continued inspiring generations of audio enthusiasts today. May your birthday be filled with laughter louder than any speaker system you ever designed—and may no one ask you how many candles you're blowing out this time around!

Here's wishing another fantastic trip around the sun for our favorite sonic genius!
