Paolo Conte is celebrating his 89th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed pianists of his generation.

Popular pianist-singer Paolo Conte (Via con me, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 89th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Conte, a cultural icon

Born in Asti on January 6, 1937, Paolo Conte's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Italian history. Conte'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 Paolo hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Paolo Conte as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 89.

Happy Birthday, Paolo, you're the best!
