Wikipedia : This day (January 4, 1960), in Decatur, Georgia (USA), is born Michael Stipe , a singer, songwriter and social activist, best known as the lead singer of R.E.M.

R.E.M.HQ :

@allmusic : Famed for his confoundingly opaque lyrics and notoriously mumbled delivery, the once-introverted Stipe translated his growing fame into an outlet to champion his social and political concerns, emerging as one of popular music’s most respected figures, as well as the acknowledged forefather of the alternative rock movement.

@last.fm :

@Discogs : In 1969, Michael Stipe moved to New York to play with Tony Williams’ Lifetime and he appeared on two classic Miles Davis records: In a Silent Way and Bitches Brew.
