What song was #1 on the day you were born?

Posted: 7/1/08 at 4:41pm

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

On the day Heather Mills (the ex Mrs McCartney) was born (12th Jan 196

it was Hello Goodbye by The Beatles!

Go to https://www.thisdayinmusic.com
(Go to 'Birthday #1' at the top of the site).

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 what yours are

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Informer - Snow

"You have two kinds of shows on Broadway – revivals and the same kind of musicals over and over again, all spectacles. You get your tickets for The Lion King a year in advance, and essentially a family... pass on to their children the idea that that's what the theater is – a spectacular musical you see once a year, a stage version of a movie. It has nothing to do with theater at all. It has to do with seeing what is familiar.... I don't think the theatre will die per se, but it's never going to be what it was.... It's a tourist attraction." Stephen Sondheim
