Let's make this birthday one to remember.

85 years old (Born on January 21, 1941)

Happy birthday to Richie Havens, the legendary voice forever echoing from Woodstock! Clearly, your groundbreaking performance of "Freedom" still gives chills decades later—proving real soul never ages. What better way to remember all that inspired improvisation on stage than with another year of groovy celebrations?

Your timeless classic "Hands of Time" continues spinning hearts and records alike (let's be honest—you’ve single-handedly made us question why we even need clocks!). Here's hoping this birthday brings half as much harmony, passion, and powerful rhythm into your life as you've gifted ours. Cheers to you Richie—the original master “strumming” sunshine into our souls!
