Happy Birthday to the amazing Robert Lamm of Chicago!  The legendary band’s keyboardist is also known for his writing talents, having written classic hits such as “Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?“, “Beginnings“, “25 or 6 to 4“, “Saturday in the Park“, “Dialogue (Part I & II)” and “Harry Truman.”  Lamm continues to perform solo and with his Alma Mater, “Chicago.”  Above is a picture with Greg Brown with the band.

And, Happy Birthday to the legendary Paul Simon, who celebrates his birthday today (October 13th)!!! Simon, with partner Art Garfunkel, was a major force during the 1960’s, with Simon & Garfunkel bridging the gaps between folk, the British Invasion, and eventually the singer-songwriter movement. Paul Simon, whether recording as part of Simon & Garfunkel or on his own, is responsible for witting some of the most important and beloved music of all time — including such classics as “The Sound Of Silence,” “Homeward Bound,” “I Am A Rock,” “Kathy’s Song,” “America,” “59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin’ Groovy),” “Old Friends,” “Bookends Theme,” “Mrs. Robinson,” “The Boxer,” “Cecilia,” “Bridge Over Troubled Water,”  “Mother And Child Reunion,” “American Tune,” “Loves Me Like A Rock,” “Kodachrome,” “Something So Right,” “Late In The Evening,” “Train In The Distance,” “Hearts And Bones,” “Slip Sliding Away,” “Still Crazy After All These Years,” “50 Ways To Leave Your Lover,” “Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes,” “The Boy In The Bubble,” “Graceland,” “The Obvious Child,” “Rewrite,” and many, many more.
