OK.. on the UK chart it was Elvis Presley's "It's Now or Never", and on the US chart it was "Are You Lonesome Tonight" by the same artist. Incidentally, the day I was born was today... the year was 1960, as you can see in my profile and at the bottom of the forum's main page. I'm not a woman to hide her age!WinkLOL
