What song was #1 on the day we were born — Brooklynian

What song was #1 on the day we were born

Some people believe our lives are profoundly influenced by whatever pop song was #1 on the day we were born.

On the day Barack Obama (August 4, 1961) was born Bobby Lewis was at #1 with 'Tossin’ And Turnin’ 

Obama shares his birthday with Louis Armstrong who had the 1968 UK No.1 single 'What A Wonderful World.' 

See which songs you get http://www.thisdayinmusic.com/birthdayno1

My number #1's are:
'You're So Vain' by Carly Simon in the US
'Long Haired Lover From Liverpool' by Little Jimmy Osmond in the UK
'Ben' by Michael Jackson in Australia

    It's when you get this one you know you're old:

    "Sorry - the information we have for the Australian charts starts on January 7th 1956."

    Great song, by the way (from NZ); coincidentally youtubed it yesterday (as material for teaching baby to count). And you are so young. Or I'm scarily old since I remember many of the above first time around.
