Something by Les Paul and Mary Ford.

But back then people only listened to music when they weren't busy fighting off dinosaurs and things like that.

No real idea, but it's possible it could have been Sinatra or something by Benny Goodman's band.

The internet can be scary on occasion. A site for number 1 tunes For me, it was apparently "Goodnight Irene" by Gordon Jenkins & the Weavers.

You reminded me of something I had seen before so I Googled it.

 

It goes back as far as 1940

 

My birthdate - "the Thing" by Phil Harris. One of my mom's favorite performers. She had some of his 78 rpm records. I remember one, "Loaded Pistols, Loaded Dice"

 

 

Funny what we remember from our childhood.

You must be an old bastard. Poor Alma died from cancer in 1966 at the age of 34. John Lennon was one of her lovers. Alma was a better sort than Yoko Ono by a country mile.

Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons - "Sherry"

 

Great song to practice your falsetto to in the shower.
