Forget the top pop song. On the day I was born (Nov. 8, 1955, since you'd be able to look it up anyway), "The Oscar Peterson Trio at Zardi's'" was recorded! No wonder I always had a thing for Ray Brown.

I hear ya! If I recall correctly, Pop told me I was innoculated using a phono cartridge that had been prepared by playing several hours of the OP Trio with the late great Ray Brown on bass.

FWIW, your song is "Autumn Leaves" by Roger Williams

"String of Pearls." Glen Miller.

Perfect. Goes with my newest outfit.....chicken-skin skirt, (mid-length, as usual) and my signature bone pumps (medium heel, no hose....of course). NO TOP.

"The Love You Save"- The Jackson 5

With, I believe, Wilton Felder on "Fender" Bass.

I'm good with that.

Maybe that explains how I got into Motown as a teen of the 80's. Maybe it could've been Softcell's cover of "Where did our love go?", either way, as a late bloomer to E. Bass, the moment I discovered James Jamerson, I was hooked.

Now I can appreciate his funky DB lines on the early hits.

I got stuck with Seasons In The Sun - Terry Jacks. :\

I looked up the date I was (theoretically) conceived, birth date minus 9 months It came up as My Love by Wings.

"Goodnight My Love" by Benny Goodman! I always thought that this was a doo-wop tune from the 50's. Never dreamed that Goodman had a #1 hit with it.

Hey There by Rosemary Clooney. I had always thought it was Mockingbird Hill by Les Paul and Mary Ford.
