It’s Aries season, y’all! And the first two weeks or so of the astrological sign is busy and auspicious for music history:
- DJ Premier‘s birthday was on the 21st
- Edward James “Son” House‘s birthday was on the 21st
- Damon Albarn‘s birthday was on the 23rd
- Chaka Khan‘s birthday was on the 23rd
- Aretha Franklin‘s birthday was on the 25th
- Sir Elton John‘s birthday was on the 25th
- Diana Ross‘s birthday was on the 26th
- Mariah Carey‘s birthday was on the 27th
- My birthday was on the 28th
- Tracy Chapman‘s birthday was on the 30th
This is a belated one but the late and great Teddy Pendergrass‘s birthday was also on March 26th. He would have turned 72. If you know anything about classic R&B, Pendergrass was one of the greatest male vocalists — perfect for the Quiet Storm and wedding friendly jam.
Happy birthday, Teddy! Happy birthday wherever you are!
