He was born 70 years ago this year, so what, he died in 1977 so its not his 70th Birthday.
When he died about 10 of his records where re-released and none made the top 40 (except for Way Down which got to number one but was released before his death and was not a re-release)
Now 18 (I think) of his songs are being re-released one week at a time. Is it because the music around at the moment is so crap (except one record of course) that he can easily get to number 1 or has it just been a money making sucess for his estate because hype is so much more important in 2005 than it was in 1977.
And how come he's able to claim the 1,000th number one when its an exact re-release of an earlier song.
