Herbie Hancock is celebrating his 84th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed pianists of his generation.

Popular pianist-musician-composer Herbie Hancock (Cantaloupe Island, Watermelon Man, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 84th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Hancock, a cultural icon

Born Herbert Jeffrey Hancock in Chicago on April 12, 1940, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Hancock's not just a great pianist, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Herbie hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Herbie Hancock as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 84.

Happy Birthday, Herbie, you're the best!
