Let's make this birthday one to remember.

69 years old (Born on February 03, 1956)

Happy Birthday, Julie Gold! From a distance—or even up close—your talent shines brighter than ever. Who knew that your timeless 1985 composition "From a Distance" would still have us humming along decades later? Winning the Grammy for Song of the Year in 1991 after Bette Midler's iconic rendition was just icing on an already delicious cake.

Here's hoping your birthday is filled with laughter, joy, and perhaps another Grammy-worthy inspiration or two. May you continue to compose melodies that bridge distances and warm hearts everywhere. Cheers to you, Julie—may this year be as golden as your name!
