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

A song I hadn't heard before- but shortly thereafter, it was Chuck Berry's My Ding a Ling

The first song that I can recall (my Dad had the 45) from a bit later in my birth year.

 

I like my wife's better.

 

I didn't think to look up my wife's. She got a better one than me, too!



The Official Rock and Roll song of the State of Ohio!

 

Sorry to say mine is
Bettie Davis Eyes by Kim Carnes
That's what Google says anyway

 

That's not too bad.

Beats Marty Feldman eyes...

 

Well the year started out with John Lennon which is pretty good and it ended with Olivia Newton John and her Let's Get Physical single. :-(

 

The 4 seasons-sherry- Marty Robbins- devil woman

 

Frankie Avalon - Why

 

No idea. Couldn't hear the radio above all the racket in the hospital.

 

It Doesn't Matter Anymore
Buddy Holly

 

Beatles-Eight Days a Week. Chinese year of the Snake. If my Moms only knew...

 

Tony Bennet - Because of You

Never heard it before. But it was #1 eight weeks on the chart.

 

"Personality"
Johnny Mercer and The Pied Pipers. The more popular version by Lloyd Price wasn't released until thirteen years later.
This was in the American charts, the British charts didn't start until 1952.
There was, however, a compilation of the most popular sheet music bought, which at the time of my birth suggests:
Perry Como, “Prisoner Of Love”

 

Eight days Week by the Beatles...No shame

 

Third Man Theme - A. Karas (Instrumental)
Hoop-Dee-Doo - Perry Como

Embarrassing!

 

I always thought it was the Righteous Brothers' You've Lost That Loving Feeling but it actually was The Supremes with Come See About Me and that was a great song too. I'm happy.

 

The Supremes I Hear a Symphony.
Could be worse. Much worse.
