Elton John and Aretha Franklin Have the Same Birthday, Of Course

There must be some special magic set aside in heaven for March 25th. Both Elton John and Aretha Franklin were born on this day. Kind of amazing! Happy birthday to both of these great, ageless musical geniuses!

To honor Aretha, pick up a copy of her Divas album. For Sir Elton, make a donation to the Elton John AIDS Foundation. And listen to good music all day long!
