Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on March 20, 1944)

Happy Birthday to John Cameron—composer extraordinaire and jazz-funk wizard! From epic film scores that stir souls, thrilling stage musicals that delight audiences worldwide, to classic TV themes we can't help but hum—we thank you for giving us melodies more memorable than our passwords.

Of course, your legendary '70s groove with the Collective Consciousness Society still gets everyone dancing—even decades later. You've created a timeless blend of sophistication and funkiness that's aged better than fine British tea. Here's wishing an incredibly happy birthday to Britain's premier music maestro: keep composing masterpieces (and throwing in those jazz-infused treats) forevermore!
