Let's make this birthday one to remember.

75 years old (Born on February 20, 1950)

Happy birthday to the remarkable Walter Becker! Not only did you help bring us unforgettable tunes like "Reelin' in the Years" and "Rikki Don't Lose That Number," but your crisp guitar sounds and meticulous production skills have made Steely Dan legendary. You've truly set a musical standard that's as tight—and timeless—as the grooves you've laid down.

From mastering studio perfectionism to redefining jazz-infused rock, your legacy keeps fans humming, smiling, and searching their basements for vintage vinyl. Today, we celebrate by turning our amps up just loud enough—the way you'd appreciate it. Happy birthday to one amazing musical mind!
