Beat you by 3 years Dave – I was born in 1946, and living at RAF Tengah by the time you turned up !! (hence my lifelong interest in aircraft, and Spitfires in particular) 😉 – I had earlier made the remark “it’s not much help if you were born before 1952 !!! 🙂 – cheers – Allan

Only know it from a few cover versions, makes me wonder if my birthday song was the original.
the U.K. No.1 on the 7th November 1974 was… Everything I Own by
Ken Boothe
Oh, and thanks everyone post-1982 (or so) posting their songs. Makes me really feel old, darn you. And Erin – even in case ‘Centrefold’ doesn’t refer to you as much as Flood would like, there’s an absolutely horrible cover from Captain Jack. Their rightfully failed attempt at a comeback 😀

“On the street where you live” sung by Vic Damone. 26/6/58
from the musical My Fair Lady. More familiar by Nat King Cole.
Quickest way to get branded as a stalker these days 😀
I have often walked down this street before;
But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before.
All at once am I several stories high.
Knowing I’m on the street where you live.
Are there lilac trees in the heart of town?
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?
Does enchantment pour out of ev’ry door?
No, it’s just on the street where you live!
And oh! The towering feeling
Just to know somehow you are near.
The overpowering feeling
That any second you may suddenly appear!
People stop and stare. They don’t bother me.
For there’s no where else on earth that I would rather be.
Let the time go by, I won’t care if I ….
I can be here on the street where you live.
