Kitty Kallen had a hit with this song the year that I was born.

This is Willie Nelson’s version.

This was the number one song on the date of my birth!
Being the horrible procrastinator I have always been, I doubt if anyone here has a more appropriate birth song!

Stormy Weather- Ethel Waters. Jan. 11, 1933.

How ironic, since there was a major snow storm when I was born.

Fabulous song! "Over the Rainbow" is the greatest song ever written for a musical.

Bing Crosby's "Swinging on a Star" was #1 in 1944. But my favorite from that year is Nat Cole's "Straighten Up and Fly Right".

Damned if I know. It was 1947. I don't recall listening to music when I was in my crib.

Maybe this song will give some clues.
