Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on June 14, 1943)

Happy Birthday, Spooner Oldham! You're the musical genius who taught us it's perfectly fine to "Cry Like a Baby" as long as you're grooving along. From co-writing timeless hits like "I'm Your Puppet," you've pulled our heartstrings and kept our toes tapping for decades.

Your legendary organ riffs at FAME Studios—especially on classics like "When a Man Loves a Woman"—have become part of music history. Honestly, we're convinced your keyboard has magical powers; how else could you make heartbreak sound so good? Here's wishing you another year filled with soulful melodies, laughter, and plenty more reasons to celebrate!
