Aww. The one name I removed from my list was:

1979, Born on this day, Duncan James, singer, Blue, (2002 UK No.1 single 'If You Come Back').  :hat

My daughter was a big fan of Blue for a while, particularly Lee, who had a horrible accent and used to beat guys up, lol.

The one and only Mick Jagger.

Don't know about pop stars---but I just found out I share the same bday as King Henry VI. :lol

Wow, you share the same birthday as the Fess? Yes, please explore his music. He's best known for his two Mardi Gras anthems played all the time down here during the Carnival season- Go to the Mardi Gras, and Big Chief (honoring the Mardi Gras Indians). Also the song, Tipitina (which our legendary nightspot is named after ).

As for me, I share a birthday with some guitar picker named David Gilmour. :-)

Define "pop star". Stars in the sky. I don't call living creatures "stars". That's laughable & too much honor for plain famous guys & gals.
