Jewel is celebrating her 50th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed singers of her generation.

Popular singer-songwriter-actress Jewel (Hands, You Were Meant for Me, Who Will Save Your Soul, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 50th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Jewel, a cultural icon

Born Jewel Kilcher in Payson on May 23, 1974, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Jewel's not just a great singer, she's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business woman. At this point in her career, there seems to be little Jewel hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Jewel as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 50.

Happy Birthday, Jewel, you're the best!
