Let's make this birthday one to remember.

79 years old (Born on May 10, 1945)

Happy Birthday, Koos Doep! Even though you're forever the gentle voice behind "Kinders van die Wind," your timeless melodies still blow through our hearts like a fresh Cape breeze. Laurika Rauch might have made it famous, but we all know who truly put poetry into those windswept notes.

Your songs continue to inspire generations—proof that great music never ages (unlike some of us!). Today we're celebrating you and every lyric you've gifted us; may your legacy keep soaring higher than Table Mountain itself. Cheers to another year of being eternally young in spirit—and permanently stuck in our playlists!
