Who? That's exactly what I thought when I just found out someone called Russell Morris was top of the pile in Oz the day I was born. Funnily enough, his song was called "The Real Thing". :shock:

UK No.1 - "The Ballad Of John & Yoko" (as in Ono, of PSB "Walking On Broken Glass" fame)

US No.1 - "Get Back"

These two are hardly top of my list when it comes to Beatles classics. TBOJAY is a little too under-produced for my liking, though it does mention Amsterdam, one of my favourite cities.

But I much prefer Let It Be or Something from the same period.

Also born on my birthday:

Actors -

Peter Lorre (in one of my fave films, Arsenic & Old Lace)
Chris O' Donnell (Batman's boring Robin, but he's cute)
Robert Davi (Sanchez in Licence To Kill, not one of my fave 007 films but that's because of Dalton)

Singers - funnily enough I have singles (no albums) by all three:

Terri Nunn (from Berlin, loved their early stuff like Sex - I'm A)
Mick Jones (The Clash, got Rock The Casbah)
Chris Isaak (got Wicked Game, and he's uber uber sexy)

Funnily enough, Elvis's infamous manager Col Tom Parker was also born on the same day as me (but not the same year! I'm not that old:lol: ), and, freakily, Elvis performed his very last concert on that same date, on my eighth birthday.

The date: well it's one day before Rags's birthday and one day after another queer half Greek from Hampstead with a tan who's had sex in places he shouldn't........
so I see you missed out on being a gemini, but June xxth isn't such a bad date after all :wink:
Oh, but I love being a cancerian! :D

On the day I was born,
Tiger Feet by Mud was UK #1
You're Sixteen by Ringo Starr was UK #1

And an unimportant triva: Mr Blobby was UK #1 when I lost my virginity

A 1972 summer hit, but no idea of which one.

"It´s fundamental that we do only exist in our own universe. When you like Pet Shop Boys, you are in our world. This is absolutely crucial to our entire outlook...what we do has an incredibly strong identity and applies only to us. It´s a case of not recognising the existence of anybody else!". Neil Tennant.

JTL, you're just one day older than me!

However, my Dad always told me that Don McLean was at number one when I was born, singing "Vincent" and he's usually pretty good at remembering music type things.
