Let's make this birthday one to remember.

87 years old (Born on February 28, 1938)

Happy Birthday, Mike! You've spent decades making jazz legends like Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald sound even better—no small feat considering they were already perfect. Clearly, your piano keys have magical powers; rumor has it they're still recovering from all those legendary performances.

Here's to another year of swinging rhythms and unforgettable melodies. May you continue hitting the right notes both on stage and off—and may your birthday cake be as timelessly smooth as your accompaniment skills. Keep dazzling us with that musical magic—we're forever grateful you're not just accompanying life but leading it beautifully too!
