Let's make this birthday one to remember.

80 years old (Born on February 12, 1946)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Joe Schermie! Your bass grooves have kept us dancing and singing along for decades. From your unforgettable rhythms on "Shamballa" to laying down those iconic beats that made Three Dog Night a household name, you've truly set the standard for rock 'n' roll cool.

Even today, your timeless bass lines continue inspiring new generations of musicians who dream of capturing just a fraction of your groove. So here's wishing you another year filled with laughter, joy—and plenty more reasons to celebrate like it's 1973 all over again! Keep rocking our world; you're simply irreplaceable.
