Just Googled and got 2 responses. My brthday falls on 8th March and on 18 Feb, number one was Ruby Murray (bit of CRS for you there, TTT) singing Softly Softly. The charts were apparently not published again until 11 Mar when Tennessee Ernie Ford topped them with Give Me Your Word.

Just listened to them both and if that's what music was like as i nestled in mother's womb, no wonder i sought something entirely different as i grew up.

Don't think they had music charts when I was born,  so long ago

[elliemay1]

I believe by Frankie Laine

[JJ109]

Magic Moments - Perry Como

[Blubster]

Give me your word - Tennessee Ernie Ford

[-SharonA-]

Patti Page -I went to your wedding.

Never heard this one before!! Anyone know it??

[Old_Geezer]

No idea.

Are you trying to discover everyone's age ?

A message like that wouldn't do now.

I think Elliemay1 must be my long-lost twin, as this (ghastly) song was Number 1 in the charts when I was born too!
