Let's make this birthday one to remember.

74 years old (Born on March 16, 1951)

Happy Birthday, Ray Benson! Another year older and still swingin' strong—clearly age is just a number when you're the king of Western Swing. From your legendary performances with Asleep at the Wheel to those unforgettable Grammy-winning moments, you've kept toes tapping and smiles wide for decades.

Whether it's charming audiences on stage or sharing stories that leave us laughing until our sides hurt, you always hit all the right notes. Here's hoping this birthday brings as much joy as your music has brought fans worldwide—and remember: birthdays are like guitar strings; they only get better tuned over time!
