Tom Paxton is celebrating his 86th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer-songwriter Tom Paxton (Bottle of Wine, The Last Thing on My Mind, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 86th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Paxton, a cultural icon

Born Thomas Richard Paxton in Chicago on October 31, 1937, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Paxton'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 Tom hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Tom Paxton as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 86.

Happy Birthday, Tom, you're the best!
