Indeed...
Among another assortment of celebrants, including Alan Alda (who blows out 90 candles on his cake), Colette, Acker Bilk, King Henry VII (Henry Tudor), Jackson Pollock, Sir John Tavener, Harry Corbett (creator of "Sooty"), Ronnie Scott, former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Olympic champion Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill, Sir Roy Clarke (the genius behind Keeping Up Appearances, Last of the Summer Wine and Open All Hours - thankfully still with us, aged 96), Nick Carter, Frank Skinner and Elijah Wood, it is the 70th birthday today of a true "one-hit wonder", only really known outside his native Germany for this Bowie tribute way back in 1983...
An inspiration for (the far more successful) A-Ha, perhaps..?
Viele glückliche Rückkehrer, Peter Schilling (born Pierre Michael Schilling, 28th January 1956)!
