Let's make this birthday one to remember.

79 years old (Born on August 26, 1946)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Valerie Simpson! You've climbed every mountain (high enough), given us all we need, and reminded everyone that you're truly "Every Woman." Your timeless hits with Nickolas Ashford have kept dance floors alive for decades—proving once again there's no expiration date on fabulousness.

From soulful melodies to empowering anthems, your music has been a soundtrack of strength and joy. May this birthday bring you as much happiness as you've brought fans worldwide—and remember: age is just another number in your endless playlist of greatness. Keep shining bright; after all these years, nobody does it better!
