no1 the day you were born

[Theatre of Trees]

Don't have to look as I know this one of the top of my head as its been done a fair few times before.

Chris Farlowe - Out of time.

 

[Curious Orange]

Whispering Grass - Windsor Davies & Don Estelle

or in the States:

Love Will Keep Us Together - Captain & Tennille

People didn't half listen to some rubbish 30 years ago...

 

[hitony]

Give Me Your Word - Tennessee Ernie Ford ...like i remember him well !!!!!! need a
now

 

[Bluejuice]

It's still Ghost Town by The Specials for me.

Could certainly be worse

 

[Jam The Man]

Hold Me Close - David Essex

This is actually the official chart too... some of these 'number 1 on the day you were born' charts are not correct as they aren't using the recognised chart of the day.

 

[Loft23]

My one has to be the best so far -

World in Motion - England New Order 18th June 1990

 

[The Great Cornholio]

Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You - Glenn Medeiros


July 13th 1988

How sad is that?

Here is mine :-
Hear You Knockin' - Dave Edmunds

16th December 1970

 

[Kent Seagull]

UK - Yes Tonight Josephine - Johnnie Ray
USA - Let Me Be Your Teddy Bear - Elvis Presley

Am I really that ancient?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Karma Chameleon - Culture Club


sake

 

[hooker]

Night Fever - The Bee Gees :/ 1978

 

[Cian]

From memory, "Never gonna give you up" by Rick Astley

 

[Rambo]

'She' - Charles Aznevour.

Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo?

July 1974

 

[Gritt23]

Maggie May - Rod Stewart.

That aint bad actually.

 

[itszamora]

UK - When The Going Gets Tough The Tough Get Going - Billy Ocean

US - Kyrie - Mr Mister (what? who?)

And on my 18th:

UK - Who’s David - Busted

US - Yeah - Usher feat Lil Jon and Ludacris

A pretty poor selection to tell the truth

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

least its not a gay icon

 

[Cian]

US - Kyrie - Mr Mister (what? who?)

Guy called Richard Page - one man act basically (he had a permanent band, but...), two hits - Kyrie, and Broken Wings - the song beloved of wedding afters karaoke's:

"So taaaaake, these broken WIIINGs, and learn to fly again, learn to live so free"

 

[bhaexpress]

Oh my God - Winifred Atwell, let's have a party !

I just hope my parents were too poor to own a radio.

 

[Brovion]

Well I haven't seen this type thread before. Anyway I remember looking this up years ago in the Guiness book of Hit Singles (I think) and it was "Yes tonight Josephine" by Johnny Ray. That site however tells me it was "Gamblin' Man / Putting on the Style" by Lonnie Donnegan.

Anyway both sound rubbish.

 

[Yorkie]

Lonnie Donnegan was the king of skiffle.

People didn't half listen to some rubbish 30 years ago...

True, but it's not like anything's changed since then - Crazy Frog anyone?
