What Song was #1 when you were born?
Can't recall if we've done this one before. But, the idea is to post the song and artist that was #1 on Billboard's pop charts the day (week) you were born.
I'll start...
"Joy To The World" by Three Dog Night.
Not too shabby!

According to that link Dis gave, there was no #1 song the week I was born. It's the only week missing from the entire year.

Mine from 1976 is December 1963 (Oh what a Night) by the four seasons ending it's three week reign at number one. The next week it's Disco Lady by Johnnie Taylor. Thank god I wasn't born a day later...
