PJ Harvey is celebrating her 57th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed singers of her generation.

Popular singer-songwriter-musician PJ Harvey (Let England Shake, Down by the Water, Rid of Me, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 57th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Harvey, a cultural icon

Born Polly Jean Harvey in Bridport on October 9, 1969, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in English history. Harvey'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 PJ hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for PJ Harvey as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 57.

Happy Birthday, PJ, you're the best!
