Jack Johnson is celebrating his 51st birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer-songwriter Jack Johnson (You and Your Heart, Better Together, Taylor, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 51st birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Johnson, a cultural icon

Born in North Shore on May 18, 1975, Jack Johnson's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Johnson'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 Jack hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Jack Johnson as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 51.
