Ben Harper is celebrating his 55th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer-songwriter-guitarist Ben Harper (Burn One Down, Forever, Walk Away, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 55th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Harper, a cultural icon

Born Benjamin Chase Harper in Claremont on October 28, 1969, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Harper'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 Ben hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Ben Harper as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 55.

Happy Birthday, Ben, you're the best!
