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!

Really strange, I have more than 80 versions of the song that was N° 1 the day I was born in: August 2, 1964 and never knew why. The House of the Rising Sun......The Animals.
It's the only song I have so many versions and just discovered it was N°1 that day.
