No. 1 When You Were Born...

[Wyndham]

music mattered then.....yeah it gives your age away, me...

 

[High6]

Apparently my birth was heralded by Geraldo and his Orchestra with "We'll gather Lilacs", and Kathleen Ferrier changed recording companies.

Did I really say that?

Midge Ure - If I Was

Not his best work.

Christmas Alphabet - Dickie Valentine

There are a number of sites where you can look this up but I like this one.

https://www.mybirthdayhits.co.uk/

It gives you the number ones across the years on all your birthdays, not just the one when you were born.

On the day that I was born it was I Can't Stop Loving You by Ray Charles but when you get to the 70s, that's my decade, and there were some great tunes hitting the top spot on my birthday. Who remembers Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep by Middle of the Road and Welcome Home by Peters and Lee? But best of all we have Puppy Love by Donny Osmond. That makes me very happy. 

[Simon]

The Beatles - Lady Madonna 

[Lulu]

The Beatles - Get Back. 

Very disapponting as Im not a fan at all :(

I'm sure with great age comes great wisdom...

[Timbo]

The Beatles....Day Tripper!

In the UK record charts were not introduced until 1952, so my birthday in 1951 here are the contenders for sheet music sold, Jimmy Young for Too Young, Nat King Cole for Too Young and Tony Bennett for Because of You.

You are yet to meet many members here LondonLad mainly

Me, Regulo, Timbo, Chamlion, and and and Oh so many.

All that 'great age brings is new teeth and the shakes.

  She goes weak in one knee?

• For me it was Don Cornell with 'Hold my hand'

Sorry RB  I didn't intend this to exclude folks from participating.

Still, you got Nat King Cole as a contender, what a voice.

[Guest]

Luckily a classic rock song ,  Jonnie Kidd and the pirates " shaking all over " 

[PastorsDayOff]

Jimi Hendrix, Voodoo Child. That explains a lot!

[WherryNice]

Well for me it was Stevie Wonder and Paul Mcartney with Ebony and Ivory......
