There are a lot of 1970s children in here.

In the UK, Gilbert O'Sullivan with "Claire" was number 1 when I was born, and I don't even know it, although I know O'Sullivan of course. I would have liked it if he was number one with "Matrimony", I love that song. Anyway:

Before November 1952 it was sheet music sales, if you look at my post further up the page and follow my link you can see the sales.

I think most of today's music is sheet also.But what do i know.I once waited outside a newsagents around 1963 for a pop mag,because it had a middle section of a new group named The Beatles.I wonder whatever happened to them.I also fell in love with the Motown Sound.There have been a lot of single Artistes i love.

However, for my 1st, 8th, & 16th, they were fine

'Distant Drums' Jim Reeves, 'Eyelevel' Simon Park Orchestra, 'It's My Party' Dave Stewart & Barbera Gaskin; respectively


US; a decent birthday & 1st
'Yesterday', Beatles, 'Reach Out, I'll Be There' Four Tops

Excellent. Having established dates of birth to within a few days, shall we do "What's your pornstar name?" to get mothers' maiden names, and then follow that with the rhyme about the day of the week you are born on to get the DOB fixed?

Obvs another one for the sheet music sales.
