I don't know about the day I was born, but my dad remembers that "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones was popular when my mom was 8-9 months pregnant with me in Dec. '65/Jan. '66!

My #1 song in the U.S was War by Edwin Starr in 1970. How appropriate.[V]

The day I was born:
U.S.: Baby Love- The Supremes
U.K.: (There’s) Always Something There To Remind Me - Sandie Shaw
I've never heard of Sandie Shaw, but is this the Burt Bacharach song later given a new wave-ish makeover by Naked Eyes?
