That was fun :)
Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves was the number one in the USA (which says it all really!) and Maggie May by Rod Stewart was number one in the UK and yes I am that old!
My dear sweet Goober, This song, Don McLean's "Vincent", sooooooooo fits your soul. I teared up just listening to it. It's fits your sensitive nature, you beauty, your deep soul. Not the part about taking his life, but the part about this world not being meant for one as beautiful as you. That and the magic, the sensitivity are all YOU. I really enjoyed this. A lot. Am going to listen to Candy Man. That also fits the the fun, impish part of you and also the happy and lighthearted part of you. I think these are great songs for you.
Thinking of you my dear friend,
Hugs and love,
Robin

Hi Graham! The year I was born...number 1 was Berlin with Take my breath away and in the USA it was between May 10th "West End Girls" Pet Shop Boys and May 17th "Greatest Love of All" by Whitney Houston...
"Like a Virgin" - Madonna... how freakin' funny. Excellent post Graham! Thanks for lightening up my day just that bit more :) Always a pleasure to stop by.

Hi,
Nice videos and post.
thanks you :)
Thanks for the post. I google my date of birth and it turned out that the most popular song in that time was Paula Abdul - Cold Hearted. To tell the truth, I have never heard this one before. And you know I just listened this song and I like it. Cool) Thanks for such a entertainment.
