    Aha, that's a really handy tooling for my DJ birthday party gigs, can play the song from the day they were born...

    And as luck would have it, this weekend I've 2 60th birthday parties, and the charts are only compiled from the end of 1945 on....typical!

    Crikey, I feel really old because I remember dancing to some of the above songs at discos! Anyway, "Yellow River" by Christie was number 1 and "Bridge over Troubled Water" by Simon and Garfunkel " was the number one album when I was born! I feel sorry for my younger brother as "Do you really want to hurt me" by Culture Club was number 1 when he was born. At the time I was only 12 and though Boy George was so cool and nobody mentioned words like "Gay" or "puff" then. However, mum said if he was a meant to be a man (she wouldn't believe me when i said he was), then he must be some find of freak!
