Ricky Martin is celebrating his 53rd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer Ricky Martin (Livin' la Vida Loca, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 53rd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Martin, a cultural icon

Born Enrique Martín Morales in San Juan on December 24, 1971, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Puerto Rican history. Martin'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 Ricky hasn't done.
