Me too, Kari! 

Although my parents were US citizens, I was born in a British Commonwealth country (Bermuda), so I get to claim both UK and US for my top song in the charts on the day I was born. Not sure which one I'm more embarrassed by...  Okay, the second one.   

In the UK:

Another Frank Ifield man here - "Wayward Wind" No 1 in the UK. Cliff's "Summer Holiday" hit the top spot two weeks later.

Forty-five years old, single, fourteen guitars, and three cats.  I'm not sure how I feel about this tune now.  I will tell you I will use this information when my girlfriend starts talking marriage next time: "Baby, baby...It's in the stars.  You can't hurry love."

I hope my girlfriend doesn't read this. Must hit "save" and surf far away.

"Wayward Wind"

That would have been a good title for Speed Demon's latest.

"Wayward Wind"

That's exactly what I thought as I was typing it... (after thinking there's no way you could write a song called Wayward Wind nowadays... how times have changed )

Meanwhile, I've just been (re)learning it on me bass. Howsabout it for a Festival idea? You can only post one obviously (unless you allow more than one territory), "The Number One on the Day you were born"

I think "I Remember You" is a great song. Not embarassing at all.

"Roses Are Red (My Love)", on the other hand...   

I'd stick to the "born in a British Commonwealth country" angle.

OK, mebbe some folks would be unable to contribute if they were dealt a particularly cruel No 1 in their eyes/ears!

Widen it to No1 in the Year?

Widen it to No1 in the Year?

That's a pretty cool idea.
