What Was the #1 Song on the Day You Were Born?

[BigFitz]

Nope.... November 12th. Although I was born a month late

Oh my, "Sugar Sugar" was on the top of the charts for at least 6 weeks? I was born a month early. I was a premmie.

Well, that's what came up on google anyway

Yeah... my mom said she wasn't too happy about being pregnant for an extra month :eeek:

OOh i like yours Lolly.

James Powers - be my guest honey!

Thank you. Benny Hill has always been a favorite of mine.

 

[Atticus Finch]

One source says that this was number one the day I was born.

Our music teacher made us learn this song in second grade. Also "Raindrops Are Falling on my Head".

 

[DNO]

Cry by Johnnie Ray and the Four Lads. Kind of appropriate...the Four Lads were four fellows from Toronto.

[DJH]

Hmm, I would have said I'd never heard of the song that was #1 (in UK) when I was born.

Looking it up on YouTube, I guess I have heard it...

I'm such an antique

 

[scottyrocks]

The Three Bells by The Browns (in the U.S.). August 23- September 19, 1959. Never heard of it.

 

[Wire9Vintage]

Tommy Roe's "Dizzy."

Meh.

 

[Flicka]

Delta Dawn with Helen Reddy. Never heard of, but here it is:

[Atterbury Dodd]

No offense, but I think Tanya Tucker did a more spirited version

 

[Atterbury Dodd]

This song was 1# the day I was born:

Not my style but I do like the 80's.

 

[vitanola]

"Big, Bad John"?

Oh for crying out loud!

I would have preferred it to have been Tosti's "Goodbye", I think, or perhaps "Dardanella".

 

[LizzieMaine]

Mine should have been Al Jolson's "The Spaniard Who Blighted My Life," but instead I got Lesley Gore and "It's My Party." Could be worse, I guess.

Yes, "Big Bad John"!

Not Billy Merson's "The Spaniard That Blighted My Life"?

Jolson stole that song from the Music Hall performer, you know. Of course you know. What am I saying?

Perhaps Berlin's "Ragtime Violin" would come in a fairly close second? Or perhaps Nat Brown and Seymour Ayer's big hit, which would, I think, be appropos.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Well, the number 1 Country hit was Home by Joe Diffie.

 

[ButteMT61]

Surrender, Elvis Presley.

 

[jamespowers]

Well, the number 1 Country hit was Home by Joe Diffie.

Ok, country music I can do. He was sort of a hippie but at least it wasn't absolutely horrible:
