Re: What song was #1 on the day you were born
I remember it well, and it must have been around the same time I fell in love with Guy Mitchell, singing "Sparrow in the Treetops", though I think the song was earlier than that.
 Woops! That should refer to "Here in my Heart".

Just look at Eve Cassidy singing this song. Someone commented 'It makes an old man cry' it does. Lovely version by a beautiful girl sadly missed. |

Re: What song was #1 on the day you were born
They didn’t have record charts in 1937. And yes they did have records and not cylinders either. Back in those days the popularity of a song was based on the sale of sheet music.
The dance band heart throb of the day was probably Al Bowlly or Sam Browne who sang with bands like Jack Hilton, Roy Fox, Ambrose and Harry Roy who produced some real foot tapping, happy music that sounds as good today as it did back then.

Re: What song was #1 on the day you were born
Mine was "Whiter Shade of Pale" by Procul Harum.
Funnily enough, this should have been the answer to a question at a pub quiz at The Park about 6 years ago when we first moved to Great Harwood. Unfortunately, the quizmaster got it wrong and when we argued the point, I told him I've got the "Guinness Book of Hit Singles" at home, one minute away - I can prove it easily enough. "What version is it?" "1994" "Oh, well mine's 1998, so that's why it's different" I realised that there was no point arguing with someone who thinks that chart positions might change from year to year. |

Re: What song was #1 on the day you were born
No chats in 1946, but Whiter Shade of Pale was knocking about the Top Twenty when I was courting in the 60s, I bloody hate that song
