Musical History

Posted on August 26, 2003

According to this day in music the number one record on the day I was born was “Those Were The Days” by Mary Hopkin. There goes even more of my street cred.

Luckily, they also tell you what was number 1 in the USA on the same day as well. In my case it was “Hey Jude” by the Beatles. Phew, some cred regained.

Go on, check your own and leave a message in the comments.

Sadly for my son and heir his two slices of pop joy are “Crazy In Love” by Beyonce and, er, “Crazy In Love” by Beyonce. I shall remedy this with a continuation of his musical education when I get home tonight. Our next lesson is entitled “The most underrated singer-songwriter in Britain” and focusses on the work of Mr Boo Hewerdine.
