Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on December 29, 1946)

Happy Birthday, Robert Popwell! You're the bass maestro who made grooves irresistible with The Crusaders and kept toes tapping alongside The Macon Rhythm Section. From jazz-funk rhythms to soulful melodies, your music has always been timeless—much like those funky outfits you rocked on stage!

And let's not forget your cinematic charm in "Hard to Hold," proving that a bassist can indeed steal scenes as smoothly as he steals hearts. Whether laying down legendary tracks or lighting up screens beside Rick Springfield, you've shown us all how it's done.

Here's wishing you another year of funk-filled adventures—keep grooving strong!
