Here is a full list-

So what was your No1,and do you like the song? For me,it was The Animals-House Of The Rising Sun.Probably their most famous song,but my least favourite of their well known singles tracks.I much preferred Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood,Don't Bring Me Down and It's My Life.

Baby Now That I've Found you by the Foundations - Nov 67. As songs go yeah I like it, it could have been a lot worse! (like my other half's birthday song Billy Dont Be A Hero by Paper Lace...)

Way Down - Elvis Presley, September 1977.

The dates in that list are Saturdays, the day the song actually topped the chart is the Sunday before that!...

Omg! I didn't want to do this, but The No1 record on the day I was born was 'Roulette' by Russ Conway.

I do enjoy contributing on the forums and I hope that doesn't put people off from interacting with me!

After all I like to think that many of the artists from the 80's are the same age as me. if that makes sense.
God I do go on!
