George McCrae is celebrating his 81st birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.
Popular singer George McCrae (Rock Your Baby, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 81st birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
McCrae, a cultural icon
Born in West Palm Beach on October 19, 1944, George McCrae's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. McCrae'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 George hasn't done.
