Andy Williams "Butterfly" which I've never heard of.

Looks like it was Dominique - The Singing Nun. Well that's not very exciting.

At least it's not Dominick the Donkey

That's a good one.

My papa always said this was my song. It's a love song, but he would always sing it and tell me he was so glad I was his little girl. I miss him!

People Got to be Free - The Rascals. I don't know it at all.

I actually looked at your website this time @low-key and I like my #1 in the UK better. In fact, I had that song randomly stuck in my head earlier this year...

I like that it gives you 3-4 picks, but while thats not bad, Im liking the candy man, wonder if there is hidden meaning in that song, it is the rat pack

Will It Go Round in Circles by Billy Preston

Never heard of it or him. Which is odd to me because I grew up listening to (my parents') "oldies"... but then they were more 60's music people so perhaps that's why I don't know this one (70's).

 

[StageTek]

Number one single of the year I was born:
Heartbreak Hotel - Elvis

The number one single the week I was born:
The Wayward Wind - Gogi Grant

One of those I don't know...

Billy Preston has been called the fifth Beatle. He played keyboards on their final recorded album and on the famous rooftop concert.

Wooly Bully - Sam the Sham

That's OK, there are enough of us that know it and started humming the tune without clicking the link, thanks for that!

Interesting - US one is a clarinet piece by Acker Bilk?

‘Stranger on the Shore’ is a piece for clarinet written by Acker Bilk for his young daughter and originally named ‘Jenny’ after her and became the first British recording to reach number one on the US Billboard Hot 100. In May 1969, the crew of Apollo 10 took ‘Stranger on the Shore’ on their mission to the moon.

UK one is Elvis Presley - Good Luck Charm. Canada is The Shirelles - Soldier Boy
