Can't Buy Me Love. At that point, the Beatles owned all top five spots on the U.S. chart.

 

US: Honky Tonk Women

 

"How High The Moon" by Les Paul and Mary Ford. 1951

 

January - Pilot

Never heard of this song so I looked it up on Youtube.

It sucks.

 

Heart of Glass by Blondie

thanks, that made my day!

 

"The Battle of New Orleans" by Johnny Horton.

 

No it doesn't. It's a cracking pre-punk pop tune, produced by Alan Parsons.

This lists the Canadian charts by week from 1957-1986: http://www.webfitz.com/lyrics/Chartlst.html

Looks like the Canadian #1 when I was born (June 16, 1967) was probably "San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Some Flowers In Your Hair)" by Scott McKenzie At least it was #1 when I was 3 days old.

In the UK & Australia, "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" by Procol Harum was #1 and in the USA it was "Respect" by Aretha Franklin. Not too shabby.

 

The Rolling Stones - The Last Time (UK)

 

US charts (for that is where I am from): "Good Vibrations". I've always loved that song.

 

Be glad it wasn't "Seasons In The Sun" by Terry Jacks or "Playground In My Mind" by Clint Holmes.

 

My mother had both those singles.

 

Not sure, but I think "Mary Had A Little Lamb" by Thomas Edison.

 

Too bad the charts don't go back far enough to verify it.
