    Happy 77th Birthday to Singer/Songwriter, Musician, Composer, Visual Artist, Educator, Pacifist, and Social Activist, Buffy Sainte - Marie. She was born on the Piapot Plains CreeFirst Nation Reserve in Saskatchewan, Canada on this day in 1941 and then raised by white American parents in Massachusetts.

    This is a powerful protest song promoting Native American rights...

    Happy 60th Birthday to David Sylvian, Frontman and Songwriter of Japan, Solo work and many collaborations, who was born David Batt on this day in Beckenham in 1958.

    I prefer the early Japan New Wave stuff before they moved on to a more arty Synth sound...
