*shrug*
I know the year I was born Miles Davis plugged in and began to go techno like  ... Lenny Breau came out with his first live album  ... and #1 on the Jazz Billboard for that year was the Best of Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 
That was 1969. |

^78rpm I suspect. Probably smash to pieces if you dropped it.
I'm intrigued. We probably wouldn't have a hope in hell of finding a copy online to listen to. |

Love Theme from "A Star is Born" - Barbara Streisand
That's unfortunate. Interestingly (or not) enough her son's name is the same as mine. |

It was the first site I came across and didn't bother looking for one that did a month-by-month breakdown. Had "I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts" been #1, I'm sure I would have kept looking.
Here's a link to Vaughn Monroe's: http://kr.youtube.com/watch?v=Xsfw9CEQITA&feature=related
It's no way near as good as Johnny Cash's version: http://kr.youtube.com/watch?v=lxn48wSiCzg&feature=related
But the version I'm most familiar with is Frankie Laine's: http://kr.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwAPa0qHmLo&feature=related
Robert Mitchum did a good cover, but I can't find it. |

Yeah, that sounds like the version I'm more familiar with.
Know what you mean about 'coconuts'. Think I'd have moved my birthday forward/back a month myself.
This sounds interesting:
Saturday Night Fish Fry - Louis Jordan and his Tympany Five
Any idea what a 'Tympany' is? |
