Williamsburg, Virginia, native and master pianist and songwriter Bruce Hornsby celebrates number 68 today. Over the past 40 years, Hornsby has won Grammys in pop and bluegrass music categories (won 3, nominated for 13), toured as the Grateful Dead's pianist, and collaborated musically with a variety of artists from Justin Vernon's Bon Iver to filmmaker Spike Lee. Here are two of Bruce's best known songs with his band The Range -- timeless, beautiful classics from his award-winning album "The Way It Is." (Hip hop fans might be surprised that Tupac Shakur sampled "The Way It Is" single for his 1998 hit "Changes").
