We played this at work - some right old tunes came out - I even made a compilation for the team lol.

Mine was Baby Love by the Supremes (November 1964)

What was yours? - just give your date of birth if you don't know and I will find it for you:)

Please bear in mind, the first UK charts were November 1952, so anyone over 58 years of age will have to use the American Charts;)
 
l Dexter & his Troopers Pistol Packin' Mama 1943 US Billboard 1 - 1943 (34 weeks), US 1940s 1 - Aug 1943 (17 weeks), US 1 for 1 week - Oct 1943, U

Wow that's proper old;) I bet you remember vinyl and windy-up phonograms and stuff mumsy:p

Isn't it funny how I remember that tune for a Rowntrees fruit pastle's ad? (probably in 70s/80s)

Michelle My Bell, but by the Tremolos & not The Beatles.

I did used to get people singing it to me lots when I was younger:D

That would have been the The Overlanders, not the Tremeloes as they had the number 1.

Apologies, I love pop trivia and can bore people for hours with it:eek:
