I'll tell you Bill,"Billy" may be #1 on my birthday that year but all I remember about hearing it on the radio is that it made me cry!
Which is strange becasue it was really over my head. Must have been the mood in the singers tone of voice or something.
The week aftr they finished being #1 for 2 weeks,Gordon hit #1 with "Sundown"!

Rats! Missed it! :D
An honor it is to share that date with your daughter. You may want to let her know she shares that day with singer Bobby Freeman ("Do You Wanna Dance"?),Tim Allen,The Olson Twins and Richard thomas who played John Boy on The Waltons.
