The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

Some people believe our lives are profoundly influenced by whatever 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

America #1-QUARTER TO THREE by Gary U.S. Bonds
Great Britain #1-RUNAWAY by Del Shannon
Austrailia #1-TRAVELIN' MAN by Rick Nelson

Pretty nifty songs for anybody's birthday...exactly midway b'twn 'The day the music died' and the rise of The Beatles in the UK!

That date would be June 25th, 1961! Anybody else?
