When our last independent record shop closed, the owner told me when he started the charts were based on sheet music, and he wasn't kidding.
I know, what a let down. The day I was born John and Yoko were having their bed-in for Peace in Amsterdam; it was the year that man landed on the moon (allegedly ), Woodstock, the Stonewall riots, The Beatles play live on top of the Apple building...… and the sodding Christmas number one is Rolf bleeding Harris!
I always thought it was Andy Williams ... Truth is i owe Danny Williams an apology Born in a different era !
I only just made the Christmas number one as the UK charts began in the year I was born, so I've got Here In My Heart by Al Martino. Oh how I wish I'd been born in 1973!
Roger Mcgough, John Gorman, and the other McCartney ... All very talented and funny chaps! A good year to be born For me on the other hand, we have Cliff Richard
Seen John Gorman in our local a few times , not for a while though, just checked wiki to see if he’s still with us - he’s 83
