Pixies frontman Frank Black is celebrating his 61st birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer-songwriter-guitarist Frank Black has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 61st birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Black, a cultural icon

Born Charles Michael Kittridge Thompson IV in Boston on April 6, 1965, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Black'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 Frank hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Frank Black as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 61.

Happy Birthday, Frank, you're the best!
