Birthday wishes to Gary U.S. Bonds – New Orleans R&B singer who danced til "Quarter to Three" in the 1960s and had an unlikely comeback in the '80s. His first big hit was "New Orleans." He has collaborated with artists like Steven Van Zandt. He changed his name so that he would be confused with government bonds and would get more air play. His first album was Dance 'Til Quarter to Three (U.S. #3). While he is known for achievements within rhythm and blues and rock and roll, he often transcends these genres, e.g., his song "She's All I Got" co-written by Jerry Williams, Jr. (better known as Swamp Dogg); it was nominated for the Country Music Association's "Song of the Year" in 1972 when it was a big hit for Johnny Paycheck (Freddie North also charted his only pop hit with a soul cover of the same song). He is a 1997 honoree of the Rhythm & Blues Foundation. Bonds is an accomplished golfer and often plays celebrity PGA Tour events. He guested in Blues Brothers 2000 in 1998 as part of a rival blues supergroup the Louisiana Gator Boys. Bruce Springsteen was featured on the album Bonds released in 2004 called “Back in 20.” "Quarter to Three" appears on The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll list.

Happy Birthday to Tom Araya (Tomás Enrique Araya Díaz) – Chilean American musician best known as the lead vocalist, bassist of the American thrash metal band, Slayer. He is ranked fifty-eighth by Hit Parader on their list of the 100 Greatest Metal Vocalists of All Time. He was employed as a respiratory therapist in the early 1980s and used his earnings to finance Slayer's debut album Show No Mercy. Much of his lyrical content is about serial killers, a subject he finds interesting. His first credited lyrical contribution was the vampire-themed track "At Dawn They Sleep" from 1985's Hell Awaits. He wrote the lyrics for the Grammy Award winning song "Eyes of the Insane" from Slayer's 2006 album Christ Illusion. The lyrics were inspired by an article in the Texas Monthly about the casualties of war and the experiences of soldiers coping with physical and psychological trauma.
