Happy Music Monday! Do you even know how many musicians were born on January 19th? The answer is ALL OF THEM! So Scott's picked five birthday-havers you might know of and enjoy today. Here's the first...
She was an odd mix of stylish purity and trashy hillbilly well before Miley jumped on that train. Dolly Parton has always, and will always be cool. Her pop songs are reasonably okay, her country songs are excellent, and she even covered Stairway To Heaven! She's a national treasure and everybody should wish her a great birthday. PERIOD.
More famous musicians listed inside. Come join the birthday party!
Robert Palmer - Addicted To Love
Robert Palmer was one of those vocalists who probably wouldn't have been a star today. But in the '80s? All it took was style and a great video. And let's be fair, the man clearly knew what he was doing. After all, he went back to that backup dancer well a second time.
Jeff Pilson played bass for Dokken! I just learned that! Today's his birthday as well! \m/ \m/
Well, it's not Lou Reed's birthday. But it is the birthday of Edgar Allen Poe! So what if he didn't record any of his own stuff? That's not his fault! Had Poe been around in the 1980s he surely would have cut a few albums.
Yeah, she's kind of obscure, so you, like, probably never heard of her. But this '60s game-changer was born today back in 1943.
Happy birthday to all the rock stars born today! If you can think of any Scott forgot to mention (and there's at least one) feel free to add them in the comments. Otherwise, revel in the glory And let us just remind you: some images come from the corresponding Wikipedia page and are here under fair use. See you next week.
