Let's make this birthday one to remember.

80 years old (Born on July 04, 1944)

Happy Birthday, Harvey Brooks! Another year groovin' along, still laying down the prime bassline of greatness. From driving Dylan's iconic "Highway 61 Revisited" rhythms to keeping countless musicians in perfect harmony—honestly, you've spent decades proving that every musical masterpiece needs a bassist who shows everyone how it's really done.

Here's hoping your birthday rocks as smoothly and timelessly as your career does. May today be filled with good vibrations (and maybe fewer rehearsals). Thank you for all the legendary sessions—and for reminding us that behind every groundbreaking musician is an even cooler bassist holding everything together. Keep jammin', maestro!
