We've got the goods for you today: drums, keyboard, bass, guitar and one of the finest vocal blends ever assembled for a Birthday Band. Our lineup of March 12 babies is so stellar that we left off Liza Minnelli (this ain't no Cabaret!) and Marlon Jackson. We were wary of including a member of Iron Maiden but decided we could use a bass player.
Did you know that Al Jarreau has won seven Grammys, two more than James Taylor? We can't decide which of Smooth Al's feats is more impressive: winning in three different genres (jazz, pop, R&B) or four different decades. How about Iron Maiden releasing 30 albums? That's a lot of scrap metal.
Special props to Bill Payne for writing one of our favorite Little Feat songs "Oh Atlanta." We gotta get back to youuuuuuu...
