What's this?

Your pick for greatest musician born on this date?

Charles Ives (neo-classical composer) 1874
"Jelly Roll" Morton (jazz pianist) 1890
Tom Dowd (producer/engineer, popularized multi-track stereo recording) 1925
Jay Siegel (The Tokens, he's the high voice on "The Lion Sleeps Tonight") 1939
Wanda Jackson (country/rockabilly singer) 1937
Tom Petty 1950
Norman Blake (Teenage Fanclub) 1965
Snoop Dogg 1971

That's the Scottish rock musician Norman Blake, not the American folk musician.

Gonna guess there'll be some Tom Petty love today.

Underrated: Wanda Jackson

And check out Tom Dowd's credentials (link.)
