Let's make this birthday one to remember.

77 years old (Born on August 22, 1947)

Happy Birthday to the forever groovy Donna Jean Godchaux! You brought soul, charm, and unforgettable harmonies to a band already famous for getting everyone on their feet. From rocking stages in legendary performances like Winterland '77 to mesmerizing crowds with your soulful harmony during "Playing in the Band," your voice is timelessly etched into Grateful Dead lore.

Even though decades have rolled by since waving goodbye as an official Dead member, fans still cherish those 1972-79 shows where you made magic happen nightly. May your birthday jam session today rival even Europe ’72—packed with love, fun surprises, laughter…and hopefully cake that lasts longer than Jerry’s solos!
