Let's make this birthday one to remember.

94 years old (Born on February 16, 1931)

Happy Birthday to the incomparable Otis Blackwell, whose words gave us more "Great Balls of Fire" than a grill at a backyard barbecue! Your lyrics didn't just give Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis their swagger—they made millions forget dance-floor judgment forever.

From igniting our emotions with “Fever” to making it impossible not to gyrate awkwardly while humming "All Shook Up," your legendary pen has shaped rock n' roll history. May your day be filled with as much rhythm, magic—and mischief—as you've given music fans worldwide. Keep rocking (and rolling), because when you're involved—we simply can't help but feel cool rather than cruel!
