HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID LEE ROTH
David Lee Roth is an American singer and songwriter who was the original lead vocalist for the rock band, Van Halen. With Roth as frontman, the band achieved massive success with singles like “Running with the Devil”, “Jump”, and “Panama”.
In the mid-1980s, Roth left the band to pursue a solo career, releasing the albums, “Eat ‘Em and Smile” and “Skyscraper”. He later rejoined Van Halen for periods of time, contributing to albums like “A Different Kind of Truth”. In 2007, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (as a member of Van Halen).
