I don't listen to this, but brob and I (mostly me) got to thinking about really old music. We (or more technically me) got to wondering what is the oldest #1 song where the artist is still alive. Here's the answer:
The weeks of October 9, and October 16, 1948 "A Tree in the Meadow" by Margaret Whiting (b. 7/22/1924) was #1. She is still alive. Here is the oldest #1 song by a living artist:
This video is rather worthless. If someone has a better example of this song it'd be much appreciated! I mean, this video doesn't even have lyrics!
Here's the lyrics in case you're wondering:
Spoiler:
Don't close your eyes They may not open What if they open Would you be alive Everyone falls But not everyone rises Why don't you get up And rise again for me chorus What if the world were a little more perfect Would you stop crying or would you take the leap What if the world were a little more perfect Would you open your eyes and blink again for me What about friendship What about friends You said the whole world was against you And it all had to end What about love What about family What about all that you have to live for chorus It isn't easy here without you Why did you leave me What am I supposed to do (without you) chorus

The oldest #1 song by a MALE artist who is still living:
For 4 weeks in September, 1949 Vic Damone's (b. 6/12/1928) "You're Breaking My Heart" was #1
Lyrics:
Spoiler:
You're breaking my heart 'cause you're leaving You've fallen for somebody new It isn't too easy believing You'd leave after all we've been through It's breaking my heart to remember The dreams we depended upon You're leaving a slow dying ember I'll miss you, my love, when you're gone I wish you joy, though teardrops burn But if some day you should want to return Please hurry back and we'll make a new start Till then you're breaking my heart
There's no good version of this on youtube either....

I really can't stay - Baby it's cold outside I've got to go away - Baby it's cold outside This evening has been - Been hoping that you'd drop in So very nice - I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice My mother will start to worry - Beautiful, what's your hurry My father will be pacing the floor - Listen to the fireplace roar So really I'd better scurry - Beautiful, please don't hurry well Maybe just a half a drink more - Put some music on while I pour
The neighbors might think - Baby, it's bad out there Say, what's in this drink - No cabs to be had out there I wish I knew how - Your eyes are like starlight now To break this spell - I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell I ought to say no, no, no, sir - Mind if I move a little closer At least I'm gonna say that I tried - What's the sense in hurting my pride I really can't stay - Baby don't hold out Ahh, but it's cold outside
C'mon baby
I simply must go - Baby, it's cold outside The answer is no - Ooh baby, it's cold outside This welcome has been - I'm lucky that you dropped in So nice and warm -- Look out the window at that storm My sister will be suspicious - Man, your lips look so delicious My brother will be there at the door - Waves upon a tropical shore My maiden aunt's mind is vicious - Gosh your lips look delicious Well maybe just a half a drink more - Never such a blizzard before
I've got to go home - Oh, baby, you'll freeze out there Say, lend me your comb - It's up to your knees out there You've really been grand - Your eyes are like starlight now But don't you see - How can you do this thing to me There's bound to be talk tomorrow - Making my life long sorrow At least there will be plenty implied - If you caught pneumonia and died I really can't stay - Get over that old out Ahh, but it's cold outside
Baby it's cold outside
Brr its cold…. It's cold out there Cant you stay awhile longer baby Well…..I really shouldn't...alright
Make it worth your while baby Ahh, do that again….

Are you making fun of 1940s music? I mean is sucks and all, but it sort of set the stage for early 50s music which also sucked but set the stage for early rock and roll (late 50s) which mostly sucked but had a few good songs and set the stage for early 1960s which was a little better but still sucked but set the stage for late mid- to late 60s music which was the best music ever which set the stage for early 70s music which was hit or mix which set the stage for mid- to late 70s music which was starting to suck again which set the stage for each additional half decade since which was worse than the one before it.
WOW! That was a long sentence! I think it's proper English, too! English isn't designed for long sentences like Spanish! In fact, there's a famous sentence in a famous Spanish book that is THREE PAGES long...ONE sentence!

Noooooo No making fun here
So what's your favorite songs from the 1940s. It's a little before your time. Ask your mother - if she was in her 50s/60s when she gave birth to you that would be the music she grew up with.

Okay, ask her mother (assuming she was at least 30 when she gave birth to your mother).

I'd ask my mother's mom what she listened to but she's not the person to ask. I mean I was driving her somewhere and "Light My Fire" was playing. She said "I remember listening to this growing up". I asked if she meant as an adult and she said back in grade school. She was born in 1929 and DID NOT take until she was 40 to get out of grade school. The song came out in 1967. I told her it was The Doors and they're from the 60s. She said someone else must have done it then.
I'm not an expert on late 30s and early 40s music (the era she would've been in school) but I am almost certain NOBODY had music like "Light My Fire" back then! I mean 15 years later Elvis was obscene. Can you imagine what would happen if you went back to 1935 and played a Doors album?

Here's a song I've heard of....
1941 - Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy - The Andrews Sisters
Believe it or not, the lead singer of the Andrews Sisters, Patty Andrews, is still alive! She was born 2/16/1918. Her sisters died in 1967 and 1995.

Don't ask me how, but this was #1 for TEN weeks!
