February is a busy month. Not only is it Black History Month — but there are a batch of birthdays this month that include:
- Rick James, who was born 76 years ago on February 1
- OutKast‘s Big Boi, who celebrated his 49th birthday on February 1
- The Temptations‘ second and longest tenured lead vocalist Dennis Edwards, who was born 81 years ago on February 4
- Bobby Brown, who celebrated his 55th birthday on February 5
- Bob Marley, who was born 79 years ago on February 6
- J. Dilla, who was born 50 years ago on February 7
There are a couple of birthdays today, that we must celebrate. So the first birthday today is: French touch pioneer and one-half of acclaimed electronic outfit Daft Punk, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, celebrates his 50 — 50! — birthday today.
Along with his former bandmate Thomas Bangalter, de Homem-Christo was behind some of the catchiest, most dance floor friendly tunes written and recorded in the past 30 years.
Happy birthday, Guy! May there be many, many more!
