What song was number 1 on the day I was born?

 

[RickShafer]

Had to be the Beatles.
I was born nine months and three weeks after their first televised appearance in England, it was in a city called Carlisle.
I was born in Carlisle nine months later and three weeks late.

Apparently a song called Baby Come Back by Player was the #1 song on the day I was born. Just a couple week shy of How Deep is your love and Stayin Alive

 

[Gary]

The 1812 Overture

Ain't No Mountain High Enough by Diana Ross....this was #1 in 1970 on the day of my birth.

From the summer that gave us the movies 'Jaws' and 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest', as well as yours truly, came this timeless classic...

This isn't the song that topped when i was born (at least not 'til more than a week after). But i've always wondered why this song stuck to me at a very young age. Now i know why. Must've been hearing this playing while i was a babe, and my folks were probably swinging me around with this tune

I guess the US number 1 song around my birthday was Toni Braxton's "Un-break my Heart"
