Popular musician Cecil McBee (Music from the Source, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 89th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

McBee, a cultural icon

Born in Tulsa on May 19, 1935, Cecil McBee's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. McBee's not just a great musician, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Cecil hasn't done.

Happy Birthday, Cecil, you're the best!
