Let's make this birthday one to remember.

86 years old (Born on August 15, 1938)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Stix Hooper! You've kept the rhythm alive, drumming your way into jazz history alongside greats like Quincy Jones and Marvin Gaye. Your beats have been smoother than Marvin's vocals and cooler than Quincy's shades—truly timeless!

From electrifying performances to groundbreaking collaborations, your sticks have danced across drums with unmatched style. May this birthday bring you as much joy as you've given fans worldwide. Keep swinging, keep grooving, and remember: age is just a number—but rhythm is forever.

Here's to another year of keeping jazz vibrant and audiences tapping their feet!
