Was there a deep karmic connection between the chart-topper and your arrival on the scene?  Probably not, but you never know.  As for my own date of birth, the #1 song back then was "Sh-Boom, Sh-Boom" by the Crew Cuts.  For the lovely Mrs. Gammons, it was "Memories Are Made of This" by Dean Martin.  And for Buster Jr., it was "Can't Help Falling In Love" by UB 40.


Just for fun, here's a list of some notables and the top tune at the moment of their mortal debut.

Barack Obama -- "Tossin' and Turnin'" by Bobby Lewis, 8/4/61
Hillary Clinton -- "Near You" by Francis Craig and His Orchestra, 10/26/47
Bernie Sanders -- "Green Eyes" by The Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra, 9/8/41
Donald Trump -- "The Gypsy" by The Ink Spots, 6/14/46
Ted Cruz -- "The Tears of a Clown" by Smokey Robinson and The Miracles, 12/22/70
Marco Rubio -- "Joy to the World" by Three Dog Night, 5/28/71
Ben Carson -- "Because of You" by Tony Bennett, 9/18/51
Jeb Bush -- "Don't Let the Stars Get In Your Eyes" by Perry Como, 2/11/53

Buster is amused by the results for Ted Cruz and Jeb Bush, and would advise Marco Rubio to not take it too seriously.
