Re: Which rock / pop stars share your birthday

Good idea for a thread, mate. Thanks for prompting me to discover the one I didn't know about- I share my birthday, although quite a few years later, with Stevie Wonder. smile

Re: Which rock / pop stars share your birthday

Hey, SpiritintheSky, don't forget my own personal musical hero - my father - who was also born on January 17.  OK, so maybe saying he's my musical hero is stretching it, but he was my inspiration to get started in music at a young age and he remains a personal hero to this day.
