OLD 55 Posted March 4, 2005 Report Posted March 4, 2005 HI To all my good friends. We've just returned from Holidays and are madly unpacking, but I couldn't resist a peep into the site. That Site with all the birth dates is very good, but I have reliable US Chart info back to 1940, and ALL the US #1s from 1920 onwards (in case we have any octogenerians who'd like to know their Bith date #1). Well, on my birth date of 22 November 1940, a Bing Crosby song called "Only Forever" was #1 in the US. I don't know it, but some other great Big Band songs were also #1 that year - instumentals "In The Mood" and "Tuxedo Junction" / Glenn Miller Orchestra; "I'll Never Smile Again" / Tommy Dorsey Orchestra with Frank Sinatra fronting the band; "The Breeze And I" / Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra, Bob Eberly vocals; instrumental "Frenesi" / Artie Shaw & His Orchestra. Ask your Grandparents Kiddies (and I use the term affectionately). They probably know all of those Classics.

The Seeker Posted March 7, 2005 Report Posted March 7, 2005 Everything I Own -- Boy George. Oh, well....
swlabr Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 What a drag! The charts in the US did not start until 2 years after I was born. So my life's theme song according to this is "How Do You Mend Broken Heart" Bee Gees - oddly kind of appropriate
