The site doesn't go back far enough, but I was able to ascertain by googling that One O'Clock Jump, by Count Basie was No. 1 for the year 1937!!!!!!!!!!!
Al Jolson? Bach? Beethoven? Am I getting close? When seconds count, the police are minutes away.
See my edited response ...
Oooh...a flapper! You're a little younger than my father. When seconds count, the police are minutes away.
Well that was depressing. I checked my birthday and high school years. I forgot how bleak those times were when it came to popular music. Hard to believe it was that bad, but it was. -------------------------------------------------------- Rumors are Flying by Frankie Carle Who knew? Break the Conventions - Keep the Commandments - G.K.Chesterson "That Lucky old Sun" - Frankie Laine
My song kicks your song's butt! Mama Told Me (Not to Come) by Three Dog Night Truth be told, Mama wasn't all that thrilled with another baby, but some of us are simply inevitable. : ) " If you cannot govern yourself, you will be governed by assholes.

Hound Dog/Don't be Cruel My song kicks your song's butt! Mama Told Me (Not to Come) by Three Dog Night You're comparing Elvis to Three Dog Night? Pitiful! When seconds count, the police are minutes away.
So far, the best.
Break the Conventions - Keep the Commandments - G.K.Chesterson I'm laughing so hard I can barely type. When seconds count, the police are minutes away.
Elvis didn't even write those songs.....nor was he the first to perform Hound Dog. That was Big Mama Thornton in 1952. Three Dog Night wrote and performed Mama Told Me, but don't you think that Joy to the World would have been a better serenade for my entrance into this world? lol : ) " If you cannot govern yourself, you will be governed by assholes.

Thanks Loddy! : )

Their best song -- "Eli's Coming" -- was written by Laura Nyro. Three Dog Night is a minor band compared to Elvis. When seconds count, the police are minutes away.

You were born at the birth of rock 'n' roll! When seconds count, the police are minutes away.
"Are You Lonesome Tonight?" Elvis Presley Not tonight ;)
That explains much. Good tune too. IIRC Harry James played it on one of the three albums he did for the audiophile label "Sheffield Labs". "Ballad of the Green Berets" SSgt Barry Sadler Never heard of 'em. But I sure liked Simon and Garfunkel's "Sound of Silence"
This ia a more a more modern song, but it's pretty good ;) It is hard to free fools from the chains they revere. Voltaire An ideal form of government is democracy tempered with assassination. Voltaire
My birth month #1 was "Little Things Mean a Lot" by Kitty Kallen.
The House of the Rising Sun by the Animals came out just before my birthday

Yup.....I was born to rock and roll. My current car is an Acura TL with the best surround system ever. Turn the key and be hit with a wave of Pink Floyd.
Never heard of 'em. The singer of that song, Barry Sadler, was an actual Green Beret who fought in VN.
House of the Rising Sun....Eric Burdon is amazing, a small man with such a big voice.
Pitiful! Oh, I agree! Elvis couldn't compare to TDN! I would rather listen to this one song of theirs than all Elvis ever did. Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Lord Acton The human herd stampedes on the fields of facts and the valleys of truth to get to the desert of ignorance. Saman Mohammadi "If a politician found he had cannibals among his constituents, he would promise them missionaries for dinner." Mencken "..if the military is going to defend our freedoms, then we need freedoms to defend. Our freedoms must be restored before the military can defend them..." Lawrence M. Vance Você me trata desse jeito só porque eu sou preto. Junior (my youngest son)
Headache? Even as a child I thought it was a retarded song. When seconds count, the police are minutes away.

Somebody ought to tell the truth about the Bible. The preachers dare not, because they would be driven from their pulpits. Professors in colleges dare not, because they would lose their salaries. Politicians dare not. They would be defeated. Editors dare not. They would lose subscribers. Merchants dare not, because they might lose customers. Men of fashion dare not, fearing that they would lose caste. Even clerks dare not, because they might be discharged. And so I thought I would do it myself... Robert Ingersoll
