Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on August 11, 1943)

Happy Birthday, Kenneth Gamble! You've spent decades making us groove, swoon, and sing embarrassingly loud in our cars. From "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" to "If You Don't Know Me By Now," your timeless hits have soundtracked countless romances—and probably a few breakups too. Honestly, you've set the bar so high that every songwriter since has been scrambling just to keep up.

Here's wishing you another year filled with soulful melodies and chart-topping inspiration. May your birthday be as legendary as your collaborations with Leon Huff—full of rhythm, harmony, and maybe even a little dancing (we promise not to judge). Cheers!
