"La Bamba" by Los Lobos
Five years earlier it was "Abracadabra" by Steve Miller Band, now that's a good song.

UK: The Last Waltz - Engelbert Humperdinck
US: The Letter - The Box Tops
AUS: The Last Waltz - Engelbert Humperdinck
My god, I get Engelbert Humperdinck in the year that gave us some of the greatest rock albums of all time.
Released in the year of my nativity are great albums such as The Doors self-titled debut, Cream's "Disraeli Gears", Bob Dylan's "John Wesley Harding," the first 2 albums of the Jimi Hendrix Experience ("Are You Experiences" and "Axis: Bold as Love"), psychedelic classics such as Jefferson Airplane's "Surrealistic Pillow" and Pink Floyd's "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" and what some (not me, btw) consider the greatest album of all time, the Beatles "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." And I get Humperdinck to welcome me to the world.
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. The day after I was born, the Summer of Love was declared over with a "Death of Hippie" parade in the San Francisco Haight-Ashbury area.

The year I was born "Axis: Bold as Boognish" came out, it's obviously a parody of Axis: Bold as Love.

My birthday must have been a very sad day. In the UK they didn't even have a Nr. 1 song that day.
US :
In The Year 2525 - Zager & Evans – never even heard of it
Aus:
In The Ghetto - Elvis Presley
The day I got married
Us:
The First Time – Surface ……… yeah right.
Aus:
I Touch Myself – Divinyls ……… I didn't need to do that anymore. LOL

UK: Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes) - Edison Lighthouse
US: I Want you Back - The Jackson 5
AUS: Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head - Johnny Farnham
Okay... none of those are terribly exciting, but the Simon & Garfunkel's last studio album Bridge Over Troubled Water was released on the day I was born which I think is kinda cool.

Thank you Animal for bringing this site up. 
First of all I felt like an old bird but looking closer it really is fun and interesting. Apart from what was no1 when you were born you can check out other things that happened on your birthday in various years. Quite cool really
