Default 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.

Well that chart covers every single day of the year except from the 8th until the 13th of January, 1978.

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...
