Let's make this birthday one to remember.

76 years old (Born on October 15, 1948)

Happy birthday, Chris DeBurgh! You've serenaded the globe, proving that nothing unites us quite like a man passionately singing about a lady in her favorite colored dress. From conquering charts across twenty-five countries and multiple continents to becoming every romantic playlist's MVP—your voice continues reminding us all it's perfectly acceptable to slow dance awkwardly and whisper-sing along.

May today be filled with laughter, good friends—and hopefully fewer jokes about your color choices. Keep painting towns (red or otherwise) as vibrantly as ever; after all these years "Lady in Red" still hasn't faded. Here's wishing you another fantastic encore!
