Number 1 in the UK on the day I was born

@florenzefrere I am just a few days older than you so. Think the song at number one on the day you were born has a reference to your future life. Just checked it out with all my family. I'm just worried about my Grandchildren!!!!lol

Always my favorite Connie Francis song. Can't believe it was not on her Greatest Hits CD

[emb1st]

if memory serves me: the last 78 hit was pressed on the FIRE label in '59...and i can't remember who or what song..........but it was a hit nevertheless. HELP this ole codger.

@emb1st actually in India and I think maybe Phillipines, they were making 78s well into the 60s with even The Beatles releasing songs on 78.

Beautiful,Hang on to that record and look after it,it must be rare.

[exdos2]

My record was black and it had a hole in the middle.

[impCaesarAvg]

Gee, I don't remember 78rpm pop singles from 1958. Wasn't it all 45 rpm singles and 33-1/3 LP albums? Memory can play tricks.

I would have loved to have seen the tone arm finish, pick up and return after the song was over. That would have made this an even more perfect video.

Listen to Thelonious Monk's version of this song----it gets rid of all that sugary goo..

[nardo218]

Hey, thanks! I'm using that record in a story, so now I even have an accurate appearance.

[thousandsmiles1]

Beautiful like a dream!

[westcell]

Lovely - that was number 1 on my day of birth 4th October 1958 - the other side was "stupid cupid"

[barISLAMbaric]

Thanks for posting this song. It means so much to me...Thank you.
