Let's make this birthday one to remember.

59 years old (Born on January 20, 1966)

Happy Birthday, James Genus! You're the only bassist who can groove effortlessly from Benny Golson's smooth jazz to Chick Corea's intricate rhythms and still have enough funk left over for Daft Punk. Whether you're laying down beats on Saturday Night Live or jamming with legends, your bass lines always hit the right note—literally!

Here's wishing you another year filled with epic collaborations, unforgettable performances, and plenty of laughs backstage at SNL. May your birthday be as timelessly cool as your grooves—and may no one ever ask you again if "Get Lucky" is stuck in your head!
