Let's make this birthday one to remember.

80 years old (Born on December 12, 1944)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Michael Carvin—drummer extraordinaire, Motown maestro, and rhythmic genius who's graced over 250 albums! You've kept jazz swinging and toes tapping for decades. Rumor has it even metronomes envy your impeccable timing.

From your unforgettable beats at Motown Records to being hailed as one of the world's greatest jazz drummers, you've truly set the rhythm bar impossibly high. May your birthday groove be as timeless as your music—and may you continue drumming circles around us all for many more years. Keep those sticks flying; after all, age is just a tempo marking!
