Trini Lopez 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 Trini Lopez (If I Had a Hammer, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 88th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Lopez, a cultural icon

Born Trinidad López III in Dallas on May 15, 1937, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Lopez'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 Trini hasn't done.

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

Happy Birthday, Trini, you're the best!
