The day I was born:


US: Wanted - Perry Como

Perry Como gave me my 1st haircut and we were all in a quartet with Steven Foster and John McCormack.

Right after graduation heading for San Francisco in a V.W. bus with what I remember must have had 18 people in it and "Jumpin' Jack Flash" recycling on the radio--even in Kansas!

One song that i remember from back when i was around 6 years old,is "Music,music,music," by
Teresa brewer. I loved it & still do - she was a gorgeous looking girl with an equally gorgeous voice,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hI2TEwnKj0.
I also remember Frankie Laine singing "Jezebel" - he really caused a stir because he 'bent'' the notes that he was singing,which was thought to be very sexually provocative - how times change !,
Saska

It tells me mine was something called "Mr. Cluster" by Larry Verne. I think that is a mistake...it surely was Please Mr. Custer...which fits, as I'm really interested in the history of the American West.

In the UK it was Tell Laura I Love Her - Ricky Valance, and in Oz it was It's Now or Never by Elvis.

[Ken Sager]

When A Man Loves A Woman - Percy Sledge

Just want to point out quickly before people start going nuts - this is true. "Tell Laura I Love Her" was a #7 hit in the US for Ray Peterson in 1960, then remade that same year by Ricky Valance (not Ritchie Valens, who had died years earlier), and this remake went to #1 in the UK.

"Please Mr. Custer" is correct, a novelty tune cowritten and produced by Al De Lory, who, among other things, produced three albums for Glen Campbell during his heyday, and a beautiful and talented daughter, Donna De Lory, who has released several fine albums and also has toured for nearly 20 years as one of the two featured dancers for Madonna. She had a duo called "Bliss" with cellist Cameron Stone, but has yet to use mandolin. There is still hope, though ...
