Robert Preston (8 June 1918 – 21 March 1987) was an American stage and film actor and singer,
Robert Preston
It’s doubtful if an actor can
Replace him as the Music Man.
He put his mark on Harold Hill,
The role was his, and always will
Remain the standard to attain,
When climbing on that Iowa train,
And hoodwinking the school committee
In the town of River City.

Harry Rowe Shelley (8 June 1858 – 12 September 12, 1947) was an American composer, organist, and professor of music.
Henry Rowe Shelley
You may have heard one song of his, –
“The King of Love My Shepherd Is”.
But though he lived to ripe old age,
He rarely wrote another page
Among the many he completed
That one would want to hear repeated.

Kanye West (b. 8 June 1977) is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, and fashion designer.
Hear Ye, Hear Ye
I gave it thought,
And think it’s best
To stay away
From Kanye West.
