Art Garfunkel - born on this day in 1941 in NYC
that would make him 74 apologies to the Paul lovers I always preferred Art's voice from his debut solo album a #9 here in 1973 [video=youtube;3BHfgNiSf-E]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BHfgNiSf-E[/video]

to be honest I haven't really heard much of art's solo material but I have to admit that "bridge over troubled waters" and "bright eyes" are two of the most beautifully sung songs that I have ever heard.
he has a lovely tone to his voice that is truly unique.

Ryan Adams was born on this day in 1974, as mentioned by CH, and it's not a good idea to confuse him with Bryan Adams, at least not to his face, which has apparently happened at one of his concerts when a âfanâ called for him to sing one of the gravelly voiced guyâs songs. Not known for his easy temperament, that little faux pas didnât go down too well â he stopped the show, ordered the lights to be put on, hurled a few expletives, refunded the dude the price of his ticket, and chucked him out. He has since actually sung âSummer of â69â after befriending his surnameâs sake.
Heâs a multi-instrumentalist, singer/songwriter and his output is prolific. I like his first two albums, Heartbreaker, and Gold, but havenât listened to the remaining 16.This track is from the former, which was his solo debut - with Emmylou Harris ⦠[video=youtube;eMZYRvDvgT4]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMZYRvDvgT4[/video]

I like Ryan, well, I own one album and like that one...
He's just released a new album, its a cover of Taylor's latest album "1989", that takes some balls to do IMO, re recording any album in full should be awkward but to do it to an album that is still riding high in the charts is really ballsy.

Guy Clark - born on this day in 1941 in Texas
that would make him 74 more known for his writing and being a founding member of the outlaw country movement had not heard this novelty tune but I can relate because I love them [video=youtube;VAJq6sHNktc]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAJq6sHNktc[/video]

^I'm totally with you on the home grown tomatoes. Nothing like 'em!
Glenn Frey was born on this day in November, 1948, in Detroit, Michigan. Eagles founding member, co-lead vocalist, songwriter, guitarist, harmonica, keyboard and bass player - he has also released a number of solo albums and had some success with a couple of soundtrack songs, including âYou Belong to the Cityâ which was written by him and Jack Tempchin specifically for Miami Vice. This track, from Desperado because he plays the harmonica on it, and takes second lead vocal, and because I love it ⦠a little out of context on its own â it comes together at the end of the album, along with a reprise of Desperado ⦠(not the best sound on this clip â bit of a wobbly start but it seems to 'warm' up) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqtTrxX-cfE ⦠and this one because he does a great lead vocal on it â from One of These Nights ⦠[video=youtube;sYi4vYBIh1k]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYi4vYBIh1k[/video]

1996: Ella Yelich-O'Connor,
that would make her 19 years young... better known by her stage name Lorde who had the 2013 worldwide hit 'Royals', that single gave her the achievement of making her the first New Zealand solo artist to have a No.1 song in the United States. we all know "royals" so heres her cover of Tears for Fears "everybody wants to rule the world"...
