I am finding this thread very depressing. Many of  the songs that were No 1 when you were born seem like they were out not that long ago to me- which makes me feel very old.

On the other hand, think how incredibly ancient Cilla must be if she was No. 1 on the day Boris Johnson was born!

I share mine with Paul Kossoff - but not the same year.  Frank Sinatra was number one when I was born - the penalties of being an old buggar.

For extra fun, google "died" and your birthday. By the laws of reincarnation that's who you were in a previous life.

December 20th, 1967, which is incidentally the day after John Wheeler coined the term "black hole".

Beatles were number one with Hello Goodbye (it was a good year for them).

Share birthdays with amongst others Bill "Tiger" O'Reilly (one for the cricket fans. I've actually visited the town where he was born, which shows real dedication if you care to look it up on the map), and Uri Geller.

I loked on the map and I can only assume you got hopelessly lost or crashed there in a light aircraft.

I couldn't find anyone interesting who died that day, but I did learn that the last episode of The Twilight Zone was broadcast on the day I was born.

So maybe that's why I've always liked the show?  I've just recently bought the first four seasons on Blu-ray.

The Number 1 single was:  Mud - "Oh Boy"

The Number 1 album was: Bay City Rollers - "Once Upon A Star"

1966 - Johnny Colt ( bassist, The Black Crowes )
1970 - Bernard Butler ( guitarist; solo and with Suede / McAlmont & Butler )

Even though the Number 1 was shyte (but chart music is nearly always bollocks anyway), I share my birthday with Bernard Butler who is well cool in my book, great guitarist.

Actually White Cliffs is a very interesting place to visit, and thoroughly recommended.

I only found out that Bill O'Reilly was born there after I arrived. They even have a cricket oval named after him!
