Billboard #1 Song on my birthday was "Near You" by Francis Craig. I guess all those WWII guys and gals liked it. It sounds really dated although George Jones released a version in 1976

 

The orginial was on a 78 rpm record.

Here's the youtube link:

OMFG - bloody Rod Stewart "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy". If I was only born 2 hours later it would have been Boney M with "Mary's Boy Child".

 

The US chart is even worse - Barbara Streisand and Neil Diamond "You Don't Bring Me Flowers".

Stevie Wonder - Sir Duke

 

(which thankfully I had never heard before nor will ever listen to again!)

No FB account, so I had to get the info on my own.

In British charts:

 

 

Best selling LP in France at that time:

(Stevie Wonder is way more kickass than Luis Mariano. Recently got into a Stevie Wonder binge on Youtube, and his late 60s early 70s stuff just rocks.)
