Ever heard of Joan of Arc? She was born on January 6, 1412, 600 years ago as of this writing in 2012. A true heroine of the French army during the Hundred Years’ War, Joan of Arc is famous for her historical significance as a mere 19 year old. Yes, you can make a difference as a young person.
For country music fans, Crystal Gayle (with the long hair) was born on
January 9th, Trace Adkins was born on January 13th and Ronny Milsap was born on January 16th. There are not too many country music artists on the Famous Birthdays in January list.
For “non-country music” fans, there are quite a few headliners on the January list. Kenny Loggins (“Footloose” – January 7th), Elvis Presley (January 8th), Pat Benatar (January 10th), Rod Stewart (January 10th), Sade (January 16th), Steve Perry (January 22nd), Alicia Keys (January 25th) and Justin Timberlake (January 31st) to name a few.
J. Edgar Hoover, DeForest Kelley (for Star Trek fans), Eli Manning, J.R.R. Tolkein (Lord of the Rings), Al Capone, January Jones (wonder how her parents came up with that name), George Foreman, Kirstie Alley, Martin Luther King, Jr., and smart guy Stephen Hawking are all on the Famous Birthdays in January list. Take a look and have some fun!
