Let's make this birthday one to remember.

86 years old (Born on December 01, 1938)

Happy Birthday, Sandy Nelson! May your day have a rhythm as catchy and timeless as "Teen Beat," the legendary tune that drummed its way into our hearts—and all the way to #4 on Billboard. With over thirty albums under your belt, you've certainly proven you know how to keep us tapping along.

Here's hoping this birthday brings more hits than drumsticks can handle and enough cake beats (and frosting fills) to fuel another round of chart-topping grooves. Keep rocking those drums—your beat is forever young, just like your fans' dance moves whenever they hear it!
