Let's make this birthday one to remember.

88 years old (Born on May 10, 1937)

Happy birthday to the legendary Mike Melvoin! Another year, another reason to appreciate your iconic collaborations—from backing Frank Sinatra’s timeless classics and bringing magic alongside John Lennon, you’ve truly hit every stellar note. If musical brilliance had a poster child (with excellent taste in jazz), we're sure it'd bear an uncanny resemblance to you.

And let's never forget leading The Recording Academy with style, humor and heart—because who else could wrangle award season chaos while still reminiscing about jam sessions with The Beach Boys? May your day be filled with as many good surprises as vinyl collections you've graced throughout history!
