Let's make this birthday one to remember.

85 years old (Born on May 12, 1940)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Norman Whitfield! You didn't just hear it through the grapevine—you practically planted that vine yourself. Your timeless hits like "War" and "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone" have kept us grooving for decades, proving once again that great music never goes out of style.

Thanks for giving Motown its unforgettable sound—your creativity has inspired generations and made countless dance floors come alive. Today we celebrate you, Norman: producer extraordinaire, musical genius, and master gardener of soulful vines everywhere. May your birthday be filled with laughter as classic as your tunes—and cake that's sweeter than Marvin Gaye's vocals!
