Happy Birthday to Ester Cordet (born December 31, 1946), who posed on The Ohio Player's album cover “HONEY” in 1975.

The cover image gained mild notoriety from urban legends involving one of the singles, "Love Rollercoaster", one to the effect that the honey injured model Ester Cordet's skin, ruining her career as a model, and another claiming that she was stabbed to death in the recording booth, with her scream captured on the song. These stories are false. But she will be turning 78 years old, on December 31, 2024.
