A site that gives you the #1 radio hit (US charts) on the day you were born.

Mine was Guy Mitchell....Singing the Blues. How appropriate, LOL.

The Candy Man, Sammy Davis Junior.


...but rather disturbingly it suggests I was conceived when the number one song was "Go Away Little Girl" by Donny Osmond.

I have often said to many here that I come from times from times before yours.
I cannot be here forever.

I have some things to share from MY world that some of you cannot accept easily.

I was in some recording studios back then that I know thing about how some
things were done that even if I was not proven to be alive at the time, I WAS in some studios at the time. Present or virtual, I was there.

This was a one-off nobody ever else ever heard.........

Rumour it was JJ on a studio runoff that nobody wanted to admit.

This guy is interesting.

But of course you do know my past realtionships with JLL. That should go without saying by now,........
