Popular singer-songwriter Walter Murphy (A Fifth of Beethoven, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 72nd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Murphy, a cultural icon

Born Walter Anthony Murphy, Jr. in New York on December 19, 1952, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history.
