Alice Cooper is celebrating his 78th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.
Popular singer Alice Cooper (Poison, School's Out, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 78th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Cooper, a cultural icon
Born Vincent Damon Furnier in Detroit on February 4, 1948, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Cooper's not just a great singer, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Alice hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Alice Cooper as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 78.
Happy Birthday, Alice, you're the best!
