She is a he ... he was a bandleader/entertainer in the 30’s and 40’s ... he also had a quiz show, and some movies ... pretty popular.

Yep!

Checked him out and he is indeed a man. Unusual name for a man though.

Thanks,

John

Buttons and Bows by Dinah Shore on the day of my birth.

Stay by Maurice and the Zodiaks on my 12th birthday

Just as a side note, it says my parents were listening to "I'm looking over a 4 leaf clover" when I was conceived 38,154,666 mins ago (Lord help me but that's a looooong time ago. )

Great thread John. I checked out the other #1 stuff in the year I was born as well and this is what I found:

One Has My Name (The Other Has My Heart) by Jimmy Wakely . Great--Old country music is my favorite!!

Joan of Arc (movie). Perfect--early and late Medieval weapons is one of my big interests.

Glad you like it Gary, seems lots of others do to as I thought they would.
A little mindless fun for folks in these crazy days is a good thing to help with stress.

Ha!! 4 leaf clover is a tough plant. What I wanna know, Chris, is how they recorded the song on that stone disc.

I'm a little Too Old !!!
Those who were born before the 50s have little chance of having a Great Song from their Birthday.
Those born in the 60s have the best chance of a Great Song, because there were so many Great Songs in the 60s!!

LOL---I got to like them, eventually:
When I was young, I worked 8 hours a day at Bethlehem Steel, and 7 hours a day (at night) at a Gas Station.
The owner (my boss) had a Stereo in the office, and the only records he had were "Albums of The Supremes", so I got kinda used to them to the point of liking them quite a bit. Didn't have many Gas customers between 2 AM & 6 AM anyway!!!
