    Mary Millington was involved in a whole different form of entertainment.

    Telegram Sam by T Rex. 

    Never heard of it! Will give it a listen
    Sounds like every other T Rex song mate. Basically "Get It On" with different lyrics.

    The number 1 album when I was born was Led Zeppelin IV.

    Which is a much better ("cooler") thing to tell people than the number 1 single that week ..... which was "Ernie (The Fastest Milkman in the West)", by Benny Hill.

    However, if you combine the two it would explain why I love long guitar solos and chasing scantily-clad women around!

    Something happened in September 1939, I can't remember what. Lol
    Que Sera by Doris Day was no1 when I went for my first job.
    I was born on the day Warsaw finally capitulated.

    "Amazing Grace" by The Pipes and Drums and the Military Band of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards

    Not the most catchy of band names imo.

    Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers

    Weirdly it was number 1 25 years after it initially released, due to being in the soundtrack of Ghost which had released in October 1990, so the song became popular again and topped the charts for 4 weeks

    Two days before I arrived I arranged for 'Oh Mein Papa' to hit number one.  Dad was quite chuffed. 

    It stayed there for nine weeks and was by the man with the golden trumpet - Eddie Calvert.

    Night Fever by the Bee Gees. Never looked it up before but I have played it hundreds of times in my disco band.

    I wish it was You should be dancing. It's their best song.
