All I do is dream of you
Cocktails for two.

Fred Astaire celebrated his 35th birthday.

Many things happened that year, John Dillinger bit the big one, Bonnie and Clyde were taken out, Baby Face Nelson bought the farm, and I think Machine gun Kelly got it that year.

'Here in my Heart' by Al Martino (?!) was the first entry on the UK Charts the week after I was born.

"I went to your wedding" by Patti Page. OK - I've heard of her, but not the song. Guess I was busy doing other things ...

He's Got The Whole WorldIn His Hands - Laurie London - US
Magic Moments - Perry Como - UK

So disappointed, in fact, think I am going to be sick.

Does it count if my labour was induced and I was born before I wanted to be?

Alas, I was bit early for formal charts. Probably the White Cliffs of Dover by Vera Lynn or something.

Unfortunately the charts only started in about 1952 in the UK. Too late for me.

Some people believe our lives are profoundly influenced by whatever pop song was #1 on the day we were born.

My number #1's are:
'You're So Vain' by Carly Simon in the US
'Long Haired Lover From Liverpool' by Little Jimmy Osmond in the UK
'Ben' by Michael Jackson in Australia

See which songs you get
