Tay Zonday is celebrating his 44th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer-songwriter Tay Zonday (Chocolate Rain, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 44th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Zonday, a cultural icon

Born Adam Nyerere Bahner in Minneapolis on July 6, 1982, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Zonday'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 Tay hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Tay Zonday as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 44.

Happy Birthday, Tay, you're the best!
