What song was #1 on the day you were born

[Mudbug]

Have you ever done this?
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 1968) it was Hello Goodbye by The Beatles!

Go to http://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
