Howdy!
If you don't know, there's this nifty site thisdayinmusic.com
They have a thing where you put in your birthday and they'll give you what the #1 song
was in the US & UK when you were born! + more
Check it out! (I really hope I got the web address right!)
Mine -
US - birth "Mrs.Robinson" (EXTREMELY significant to me...I met this VERY prominent person
named MR.Robinson, we clicked, I thought there was "potential" there...But he was like in
a completely different strata than I and oh well, alas

UK - "Young Girl" (You know the one..."young girl get out of my heart...you're much too young girl...etc) (Way significant too...I've had 2 MAJOR relationships with "older" men. One 11 years
older than me, one 12... TOO funny!)
US - 18th birthday... "Live To Tell" Madonna... Oh boy DO I have some tales to tell

And you?

"Sundooown, you better take care, if i find you been creeping round my backstair!.... She's been looking like a queen in her faded jeans, she's a hard lovin woman something something something.......SUNDOOOWN, YOU BETTER TAKE CARE..."

In the UK, it was some song called "She" by a guy named Charles Aznavour... I don't know that one...

Amber, I'm so freakin' ignorant! Please elaborate on your song

Who sings it? What is the actual title? I'm at a loss right now!

It just dawned on me...How COOL would it be if "Dreams" or "Albatross" were YOUR #1's???
I wonder if this is the case for any Ledgies?

On the US charts, I got "When a Man Loves a Woman" by Percy Sledge

UK charts: "Strangers in the Night" by Frank Sinatra

I like the first one, but Frank Sinatra?? Gee, am I old??

Yeah, Gordon Lightfoot, and the song is "Sundown" I actually really like that song, I don't hear it much, but when i do, i'm stoked. It's very pretty. But I think he may have done "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" and that song is very pretty to me, too.

Yes, he also did "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald". There is a late night AM radio talk show called Coast to Coast (formally Art Bell's show) and they play "Sundown" quite a bit as bumper music. As a matter of fact they play a lot of Fleetwood Mac too.

I was born in December,1971. The number 1 song in the US was Family Affair by Sly and the Family Stone. The number one song in the UK was Cuz I Luv You by Slade. I like th eforme r but I've never heard the latter.

I love that song so much. It's great to finally put a title to it... don't know why I haven't looked it up earlier.

Mine was "Money for Nothing," Dire Straits... another one of my favorites.

UK was something I'd never heard of before... "If I Was" by Midge Ure... ?

If you click on "i knew the bride..." on the lefthand side it comes up with a list of wedding anniversaries and Chris's anniversary with Eddy is on there.
