Happy Birthday to my man "Stan" Mr. Stanley Clarke (born June 30, 1951) is an American bassist, film composer & founding member of Return to Forever, one of the first jazz fusion bands. Clarke gave the bass guitar a prominence it lacked in jazz-related music. He is the first jazz-fusion bassist to headline tours, sell out shows worldwide and have recordings reach gold status.
Clarke is a 5-time Grammy winner, with 15 nominations, 3 as a solo artist, 1 with the Stanley Clarke Band, and 1 with Return to Forever. A Stanley Clarke electric bass is permanently on display at the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C.
