Marie Myriam is celebrating her 69th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed singers of her generation.

Popular singer Marie Myriam (L'Oiseau et l'Enfant, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 69th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Myriam, a cultural icon

Born Myriam Lopes Elmosnino in Luluabourg on May 8, 1957, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in French history. Myriam'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 Marie hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Marie Myriam as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 69.

Happy Birthday, Marie, you're the best!
