In the US - (1961)



In Canada, never heard of it - but he went on to write "Strangers In The Night", "Danke Schoen", "Spanish Eyes"

Hmmm. Ran into problems posting the video (?)

Number 1 on my day on the Canadian charts was Sweet City Woman by the Stampeders.

[KrazE]

Harry Nilsson - Without You

The song was actually released before I was even born, but it finally hit number one on the charts the day I was born.



Edit to add: I never check the Canadian charts since they are pretty pointless to me as the songs are almost unheard of even by Canadians, so mine is from the US charts
