Happy Birthday, Odetta! Your powerful voice and soulful melodies have hammered their way into our hearts—quite literally. "Take This Hammer" didn't just make Time's All-Time 100 Songs list; it made us all realize that hammers aren't only for carpenters—they're also perfect metaphors in folk music!Your timeless tunes continue to inspire generations, proving once again you're the queen of blues who never goes out of style. May your birthday be filled with laughter louder than applause at Carnegie Hall—and may you always remember: age is merely a number...but legendary songs are forever young. Keep hammering on!
