  Is Giorgio Moroder secretly gay and hiding in the closet?

Giorgio Moroder is celebrating his 85th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed composers of his generation.

Popular composer-producer Giorgio Moroder (Midnight Express, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 85th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Moroder, a cultural icon

Born Hansjörg Moroder in Ortisei on April 26, 1940, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Italian history. Moroder's not just a great composer, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Giorgio hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Giorgio Moroder as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 85.

Happy Birthday, Giorgio, you're the best!
