For me it was Spirit in the Sky by Norman Greenbaum 🎶 Quite a cool tune.

    There was not a number 1 when i was born, it didn’t start until 1 month later. Perhaps this should go into “what makes you feel old”

    The Loveliest Night of the Year Mario Lanza.....
     Although that might be a bit of a stretch as the charts did not start till November 1952, according to' Wicki' probably based on sheet music  as well.

    No Number 1s when I was born. Would probably have been something by Gracie Fields.
