The U.K. No.1 on the 19th September 1965 was... (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction by The Rolling Stones

The U.S. No.1 on the 19th September 1965 was... Help by The Beatles

My! I love the Stones. I never new this, my Dad will be so happy, he has long been an absolute Stones freak! And we were all born in Liverpool, home of the Beatles - scary scary!

Mine was something I have never heard of called 'Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White' by Eddie Calvert. The US one was the same song by someone called Perez Prado!

Oh well.....

Pretty Flamingo by Manfredd Mann was TOTP in the UK when I was born. Can't place the song but have heard of the band / singer.

More appropriately was the US song Monday, Monday by
Mama's and Papa's - I was born very early on a Monday morning -even know a few words to this one.

S/C/G: too much/going down/just right

Height: 157cm

Red face I go back before the Charts!!!

Now I know what my kids mean when they ask about the days of the sailing ships etc. I go back further than the charts!!!!!
However I looked at those for the 18th Birthday and that was - wait for it - Something stoopid by Frank and Nancy Sinatra. My family would have something to say about that!!
Cherry Pink and and Apple Blossom White - I'm sure that goes back much further even than me! I have the music here on an old compilation. I just can't find it to see if it has a date on it. I would have thought that was around wartime! Maybe it was a remake Sarah Ann.

Noooo - your's is good! I like 'Everything Is Beautiful' and Kevin likes 'Back Home'.

I hope mine doesn't go back to the war.... its for 11th June 1955! Spent ages searching down a Mpeg of Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White - sort of Latin American beat - quite nice.

I think I will go and have a look for my 18th.

..... Shouldn't have bothered.... (UK) 'See My Baby Jive' by Wizzard (US) 'My Love' Paul McCartney & Wings! Yuck!
