Celebrate Alice Cooper’s 74th Birthday With These Hit Songs!

Singer Alice Cooper is turning 74 today!

Alice Cooper was born Vincent Damon Furnier on February 4, 1948, in Detroit, Michigan. The singer, songwriter, and actor has a career that has spanned over 50 years. He has been married to his wife, Sheryl Goodard, since 1976.

Alice Cooper is widely considered to be “The Godfather of Shock Rock” and has drawn influences from horror films, vaudeville, and garage rock into his work. He is known for his dramatic stage shows, which often include pyrotechnics, guillotines, fake blood, and dueling swords.

Although “Alice Cooper” originally started as a band in 1964, they split up in 1975 and Vincent Furnier adopted Alice Cooper as both his legal name and his stage name. He launched his solo career that same year with the concept album “Welcome to My Nightmare.”

Rolling Stone has called him “the world’s most beloved heavy metal entertainer,” although he has experimented with many musical styles, including art rock, hard rock, new wave, glam metal, and industrial rock.

In addition to his music, he is also an actor, a golfing celebrity, a restauranteur, and a radio DJ after starting his classic rock show “Nights with Alice Cooper” in 2004.

Fans are celebrating his birthday with some of his best hits! Have a listen!
