No one famous on my birthday. The closest is the drummer for Earth, Wind, and Fire.

On my wife's birthday however - Aaron Neville, Neil Diamond, Ray Stevens, Warren Zevon, and John Belushi

Nothing much of interest to me on mine, but I did like these

1982, B.B. King donated his entire record collection of over 20,000 discs to Mississippi University's centre for the Study of Southern Culture,

1992, Billy Idol pleaded guilty to assault and battery charges after an incident outside a West Hollywood restaurant. He was fined $2,700 (£1,588) and ordered to appear in a series of anti-drug commercials.
