Geoffrey Settle Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Gosh never heard of mine and the subsequent ones for the years that followed don't really inspire me except for 'Woodstock' just goes to show what rubbish gets to number one during the month of the Scorpion.

kateoflymm Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 I'm before your list but I believe Harry James had a hit with "I've Heard That Song Before" around January 1943. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Mine was I Want To Hold Your Hand by the Beatles. The number ones of 3 of my first 4 birthdays were all Beatles, with Tom Jones - "Green Grass Of Home" on my third birthday Some others of note: On my 8th birthday was Ernie by Benny Hill, the following year was Chuck Berry - "My Ding-A-Ling" and Renee & Renato - "Save Your Love" was nymber one on my 19th birthday!! The best; my 34th birthday number one was Teletubbies - "Teletubbies Say 'Eh-Oh'" Such a musical medly that I must upload to my ipod for future listening!!

Adam Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Afraid the list doesn't go anywhere far enough back for me! Can't image why anyone would want to know anyway because decent popular music had (with a handful of notable exceptions) died long before 1945, But doesn't anyone recall the early days of "charts" which were based on the sales of sheet music, not records, and which were broadcast weekly by the BBC on a Saturday night? I always thought they were a better selection, presumably because the people buying the music at least knew something about music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Good point about sheet music. I saw an old 1940s MGM film with Judy Garland and Van Johnson as sheet music salespeople who played and sang demonstrations for the customers. Sheet music was 10 cents I think. It might have been For Me and My Gal, and it might have been for 1900-1910 era. I love browsing through old sheet music bins from before my birth. Stuff like "So Long Oolong, How long you gonna be gone" I don't know song, but the news when I was born was about the King and the Duchess -- oh, she wasn't a duchess then she was an American divorcee.
