1929 - Buck Owens
This country music star helped pioneer the "Bakersfield Sound". He is more well known for co-hosting "Hee Haw" with Roy Clark.

1949 - Mark Knopfler
Lead guitarist and vocalist for Dire Straits. Knopfler is among my list of Rock Gods, and I think vastly under rated. I highly recommend his most recent album, "All the Roadrunning" with Emmylou Harris.

He makes it look so easy...

1954 - Pat Metheny
Another incredible guitarist, this time in the jazz genre.

1959 - Suzanne Vega
When I think of the popular music of the late I think of Suzanne Vega.
