Question: What is the birth year of the writer of the song "Hey, Man!"
Context: "The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers" is the theme song and personal anthem of Tigger, a fictional tiger from the children's book series Winnie-the-Pooh.  Although Tigger's birthday is believed to be in October 1928, the year that "The House at Pooh Corner" was first published, on Tigger-related merchandise, Disney often indicates Tigger's birth year as 1968, a reference to the first year that Tigger appeared in a Disney production, "Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day".  That was also the same instance when Tigger first sang this song.  The song is repeated in Disney's 1974 release "Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too! ", The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh ride and then again in the 1977 release "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh".  "The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers" opens up the 2000 release of "The Tigger Movie".  In 1974, Paul Winchell earned a Grammy for his rendition of the song. Luscious "Luke" Easter (August 4, 1915 – March 29, 1979) was a professional baseball player in Major League Baseball and the Negro leagues.  He batted left-handed, threw right-handed, was 6 ft , and weighed 240 lb.  The birth year listed here is drawn from census data.  Easter himself listed multiple birth years ranging from 1911 to 1921 on different occasions, so some ambiguity as to the correct year exists. Albert Simonsz a distinguished historical painter, born at Haarlem in 1523, told Karel van Mander in 1604 that he had been a scholar of Jan Mostaert 60 years previously when Mostaert himself was already an old man of 70.  Van Mander noted his remark because Simonsz also said that Mostaert had claimed he had never heard of Ouwater (or Geertgen tot Sint Jans).  The 18th-century writer Jacobus de Jongh was the first to extrapolate Simonsz' birth year from his statements to Karel van Mander.  Simonsz clearly lived to a great age, but the exact year of his death after 1604 is not recorded.  Though no known works survive, Hessel Miedema in his more recent edition of the Schilder-boeck wonders whether he isn't the same "Aelbert symonssen" mentioned in a document in the Haarlem archives who was paid 15 florins in 1592-1593 for making several copies of maps of Haarlem after the one by mayor Thomas Thomassen, and who was also paid 25 florins for making one copy of a map made in 1570 of the boundary of Rhineland after Joost Janssen of Amsterdam. Matthew Buchanan is a fictional character on the American soap opera "One Life to Live".  Born onscreen in 1999, the character was rapidly aged in 2001 with the casting of Eddie Alderson, re-establishing his birth year as 1994 (which is also Alderson's birth year).  Alderson stayed with the series until the ABC Daytime finale in 2012.  Upon resuming as a web series via The Online Network, Robert Gorrie was cast in the role and debuted April 29, 2013, ultimately revising his birth year to 1992.

Nelly Kim Furtado ( ; born December 2, 1978) is a Portuguese-Canadian singer and songwriter.  Furtado first gained fame with her debut album "Whoa, Nelly! " (2000), a critical and commercial success that spawned two top 10 singles; "I'm Like a Bird" and "Turn Off the Light".  The first single won her a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.  In 2003 she released her second album "Folklore" and was preceded by the lead single "Powerless (Say What You Want)".  Furtado's third album "Loose" (2006) became her best selling album with 12 million copies sold worldwide.

Molly Lansing is a fictional character of ABC's "General Hospital".  The role has been portrayed by Haley Pullos since 2009.  Molly is the daughter of Ric Lansing and Alexis Davis.  She was born on-screen on November 10, 2005.  In 2009, Molly's birth year is changed to 1998.  In 2012, Molly states that she is 15, effectively making her birth year 1997. "Hey, Man!"  is a song by Canadian singer-songwriter Nelly Furtado, produced by Gerald Eaton and Brian West for Furtado's debut album, "Whoa, Nelly! ".  The song was released as the album's fourth (and final) single in some European countries, but it charted only in Germany, where it reached number forty-nine, Netherlands, where it reached number eighty-seven, and Romania, where it reached number sixty-five.  "Hey, Man!"  samples "White Man Sleeps" from the Kronos Quartet's album "Pieces of Africa".  Furtado described the song as: "a big pop song and kind of rocking now because we went back to the demo version of it.  Brian West had his 'Pieces of Africa' disc, and he wanted something distinct to happen in the chorus.  So he chopped up 'White Man Sleeps' by The Kronos Quartet." Smith was born in Macon, Georgia, likely into slavery, and he and his mother moved north in 1865.  His birth date is given as 3 May 1860, but since he supposedly did not begin boxing until he was 19 and claimed the title in 1876, the birth year likely is spurious.  Some sources cite 1869 as the year his boxing career began, and others 1879, which would have been three years after he claimed the championship. Syed Abdur-Razzaq Nurul-Ain is the successor of the Sufi saint Syed Ashraf Jahangir Semnani.  From amongst the descendants of Syed Abdul Razzaq Jilani, the line of saints of Ashrafia Jilania is one of the most reputed households belonging to the Indo-Pak subcontinent.  Within this line, Syed Abdul Razzaq, popularly known as Nur-ul-Ain, was the heir, disciple and Khalifa of Syed Ashraf Jehangir Semani.  Syed Abdul Razzaq was the son of his maternal cousin.  Syed Abdul Razzaq is the 11th descendant of the greatest Sufi Syed Abdul Qadir Jilani of Jilan, Iraq.  Abdur-Razzaq Nurul-Ain first met Ashraf Jahangir Semnani at the age of twelve years in Baghdad when Ashraf Jahangir Semnani made a visit there and from there on never parted from his company.  He adopted Syed Abdul Razzaq as his son and made him the heir and caretaker.  Originated from the name of Syed Ashraf, this line of saints is still called as Ashrafia.  Syed Ashraf Jehangir Semani died in 808 AH and Syed Abdul Razzaq became the heir to his throne.  After strenuous spiritual training he was bestowed with Khilafat (Spiritual Successor) and from him the Ashrafi spiritual chain flourished.  According to the tradition of Mirat-ul-Asrar, at the time of his death, Syed Ashraf Jehangir Semani was either 106 or 110 years of age.  In Tohfta ul Abrar, his age is written as 120 and year of birth is 688 AH.  Even his adopted son, Syed Abdul Razzaq was 120 of age at the time of his death.  He spent 12 years before he took Bayat and 68 years in travel and in the service of Syed Ashraf Jehangir Semani and the remaining 40 years after the death of his Murshid at the throne of Khilafat.  In accordance to this, his birth year becomes 728, year of arrival in India 740 and year of death 848.  His grave is located next to that of Ashraf Jahangir Semnani in the same Shrine in Kichauccha Sharif, Dist.  Ambedkar Nagar, Uttar Pradesh, India.
