Do you know your Country's number one song on the day you were born,?

[Tom 86]

Victor Young - She's a latin from Manhattan 1935​

 

[Shero]

I think it was this one!

Actually, it was Ghost Riders in the Sky by Frankie Laine! Who's counting?

Glenn Miller, Chattanooga Choo Choo

According to the Google God this is the one.

One of the 'she's dead and gone' recordings of the time. It must have been the English version of Edith Piaf's recoding "Les Trois Cloches" that started the trend. We got car crashes and Indians who couldn't swim across the river, and lots more.

1964? Youngster! I was almost out of high school when you were born!

 

[Fyrefox]

(It’s No) Sin by Eddy Howard and His Orchestra. Not what I would have chosen due to the possible implications of the title…

It must've been Open The Door Richard by Count Basie & Orchestra. @Purwell Apparently the charts started before 1948. If you search "number one song ...then your birth date", Wiki will probably provide the list for your BD as well.

Let's see now ... "Green Door" (what's that secret you're keeping?) - "I'm gonna' knock and ring and tap until you do" (if you don't come out tonight when the moon is bright) - "I hear ya' knocking but you can't come in" (come back tomorrow night and try it again) "Knock, knock, knock on wood" ( I don't wanna' lose this good thing that I got).

You tell 'er, granny!

You tell 'er, granny!

Not only am I a granny, I'm a great-granny to a beautiful 20 month old little girl! Everybody seems young to me now!

 

[Verisure]

Now I wish I was born 4 years later just so I could post this one .... oooops I did anyway!

I got cheated. I'm just as old as you but I've never even become a grandparent.

Not only am I a granny, I'm a great-granny to a beautiful 20 month old little girl! Everybody seems young to me now!

Our great grandkids are grown.

I'm right alongside Lewcat on this one. "Stormy Weather" by Ethel Waters -- 1933

The song is: "I've Got Spurs That Jingle, Jangle, Jingle." I remember both Gene Autry and Tex Ritter sang it.

 

[Sassycakes]

I just looked it up and the song was "The Honey Dripper" by Joe Liggins

Are you sure you've never heard of it? What about Gene Autry? Do I have to "show you"?

I b'lieve Tex is in Hillbilly Heaven right now with his old compadres.

As Tish says, the Google God said, when I was born, "I'm a Big Girl Now "by Sammy Kaye was THE #1 song. I listened to it. It sucked. I'm changing my birthday.
