One source says that this was number one the day I was born.

Cry by Johnnie Ray and the Four Lads. Kind of appropriate...the Four Lads were four fellows from Toronto.

Hmm, I would have said I'd never heard of the song that was #1 (in UK) when I was born.

Looking it up on YouTube, I guess I have heard it...

Not my style but I do like the 80's.

Mine should have been Al Jolson's "The Spaniard Who Blighted My Life," but instead I got Lesley Gore and "It's My Party." Could be worse, I guess.

Yes, "Big Bad John"!

Not Billy Merson's "The Spaniard That Blighted My Life"?

Jolson stole that song from the Music Hall performer, you know. Of course you know. What am I saying?

Perhaps Berlin's "Ragtime Violin" would come in a fairly close second? Or perhaps Nat Brown and Seymour Ayer's big hit, which would, I think, be appropos.
