Let's make this birthday one to remember.

83 years old (Born on November 24, 1941)

Happy Birthday, Wayne Jackson! Rumor has it that your trumpet playing is so legendary, even the ghosts at Stax Records still groove to your beats. From belting out catchy riffs with The Mar-Keys to giving soul an extra boost of brass power in The Memphis Horns, you’ve helped create some unforgettable sounds—and made countless hips sway stylishly out of control.

Here's hoping you celebrate your birthday with as much gusto and brilliance as one of your iconic solos. May you hit higher notes this year than ever before—though seriously, after "Knock on Wood," can it get any better?
