Tommy Steele is celebrating his 88th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer Tommy Steele (Singing the Blues, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 88th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Steele, a cultural icon

Born Thomas William Hicks in Bermondsey on December 17, 1936, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in British history. Steele'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 Tommy hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Tommy Steele as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 88.

Happy Birthday, Tommy, you're the best!
