Let's make this birthday one to remember.

66 years old (Born on July 11, 1958)

Happy Birthday, Kirk Whalum! May your day be smoother than your saxophone solos and as timeless as your soulful melodies. From serenading us with the unforgettable sax solo on Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You," to blessing our ears with Grammy-winning tunes, you've truly jazzed up our playlists.

Your recent performances continue to captivate audiences worldwide, proving that like fine wine (or a classic jazz riff), you only get better with age. Here's hoping this year brings even more smooth grooves, joyful notes, and plenty of reasons to keep smiling behind that saxophone. Keep blowing magic into our lives!
