darlene Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 You are all so young! In 1947 Harry James had "Jalousie," which I always adored and Glenn Miller put out "Moon Love," which was influenced by Tchaikowsky's famous symphonic movement. ("Could it be Moon Love? Nothing but Moon Love?") I love that one also!Old Blue Eyes had September Song, of which I'm very fond as well. All in all, "it was a very good year." I don't know exactly which song was #1 at the moment I came into the world at 4 in the morning on August 30, 1947, but one of you will no doubt tell me. Which was it? --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMMY TUNES Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 1959 ... "Sleep Walk" by Santo & Johnny9/18/59Seems like '59 was a good year for 'Berry fans! I'm afraid I don't know "my" song...Oh, and a note to Bill C... Happy Birthday, you young whippersnapper! You may know it if you hear it. It's an instrumental. Very cool song.

wimvriezen Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Yes Tony, Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah, is a very popular song on Dutch wedding party's. The first version I heard from that song was on my 45rpm B-side To my father's house by the Les Humphries Singers, also a number one single in my country, round 1970 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sterling Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Mine for Nov. 30, 1949 was Mule Train by Frankie Laine. Not sure I have heard it but I certainly have heard of Frankie Laine. I think he sang the theme song for the movie "High Noon".Good thread.Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecstasy Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 April 21, 1960Stuck On You by ElvisLike Elvis, just not that song particularly.I DO have the distinction, though, of knowing that Eric received his gold record for All By Myself on my Sweet 16 birthday according to what I read recently! I like that MUCH better than Stuck On You!LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulie Mississippi Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Ted, we need to reference stone tablets for you... What I find interesting is how many of us are within a year or two either side of my birth year of 1959. When Capitol Records started mistakenly having Raspberries promoted in the teen magazines and having the "Raspberry Mobile" contest; they were targeting us! The 12 to 16 year old crowd at that point in time! And after 30+ years; we're still with the band! Those promotions might have been misguided, but by God they were effective! At least from a retention standpoint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kiwi Connection Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Kia ora guys My song is "Battle of New Orleans"by Johnny Horton.Here in NZ the words were changed to "Battle of Waikato".Waikato is a province in the North Island, it is also the major river of the North Island.The song talks about the Maori wars in the 1800's.Here ends the geography lesson. P.S. A chocolate fish (not trout!!) to anyone who can pronounce Waikato properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew C. Clark Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 On Eric's birthday, the # 1 song was "Some Enchanted Evening" by the late Perry Como. It spent it's 2nd week (out of 5 weeks at # 1). Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stowaway sue Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Hey Kathy!! I am so bummed I missed you on Saturday at the Choir concert. I was there with my sister, Leff't Home, and a group of other people. Kept looking for you but seems we missed each other. BUMMER. The good thing is, I was up by the stage for the entire set. The bad thing is, my hearing didnt return until Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
