On mine was Anthony Newley - Why.

Never heard of it!

But it's also prophetic as I question everything. I'd quite like ""WHY?" on my headstone.

11 Jan 1975. "Lonely This Christmas" by Mud.

I hate that song. I could have been born a week later when it would have been "Down Down" by the mighty Quo.

New Kids On The Block - You got it(the right stuff)

Never heard of it. But I guess I wasn't to in to music during my first few weeks.

Phil Collins - "But Seriously" was the number one album.

It was rubbish. Think Osmonds but worse, or Westlife but better.

Born 21st November 1952

Here in my Heart - Al Martino.

The very first entry!

I checked out the number one's in 1964 and found that I could recall every one, the tunes and a lot of the lyrics.

Then I shot forward to 2009 and couldn't recognise any of them.

My recent memory must be going, or it may have some thing to do with not having listened to Radio One for years, or simoly that I don't enjoy the current stuff as much

I was born April 8th 1956.....just a few weeks before Blues played Manchester City in our last appearance in a FA Cup Final

The Number One song was 'It's Almost Tomorrow' by The Dream Weavers

Soon to be knocked off the top the following week by Winifred Atwell and 'Poor People of Paris'...................I dunno, we wuz pretty poor at the time, they still had rationing in Great Britain I think....and National Service

The Number One song that started 1956 was Bill Haly's 'Rock Around The Clock' and the song that saw the year out was 'Just Walking In The Rain' by Johnnie Ray

The following year (1957) the Russians launched the first man made object into outer space.......'Sputnik'.....I think they put a little doggie up there too just after......followed by a Russian bloke named Yuri who was then followed by a Yank named 'AL'

1935


Quote:
 
My Melancholy Baby is a popular song published in 1912. The music was written by Ernie Burnett, the lyrics by George A. Norton.

In 1912, William Frawley - later of I Love Lucy fame - was the first person to perform the song in public in the Mozart Cafe in Denver. Frawley told the story during a May 3, 1965 appearance on the TV game show I've Got a Secret.

Despite its published title, in conversation it often is referred to simply as "Melancholy Baby," without the "My," including by Frawley himself in the above mentioned appearance.

Ella Fitzgerald included this song in her 1960 Verve release: "Ella Fitzgerald Sings Songs from Let No Man Write My Epitaph".

The song was covered more recently by the singer Mina[1] Other notable recordings of this tune include Al Bowlly's 1935 recording, Coleman Hawkins in 1938, and Charlie Parker with Dizzy Gillespie and Thelonious Monk in 1950.

The song can be heard consistently throughout the 1939 Warner Brothers gangster movie The Roaring Twenties, where a vocal rendition of the song is performed by co-star Priscilla Lane.

Barbra Streisand recorded the song for her album The Third Album (1963).

Trini Lopez recorded the song for his album The Sing Along World of Trini Lopez Reprise Records



Blues finished 19th in the old Division One that year (22 team league) , Middlesboro were below us in 20th and relegated were Tottenham and Leicester City......Interesting fixture list back in those days .....we played at home to Villa in the very first match and then went to The Hawthorns and the Albion in the next.....won both games 2-1 **thumbup

The title was won by Arsenal for a third consecutive year

Sheffield Wednesday lifted the FA Cup beating The Baggies 4-2



You old **t !! :blink:
