LOL Germaine. Mine was the year before yours - 1948 - 'Buttons & Bows' by Dinah Shore. The song featured in a film called 'The Paleface', which starred Bob Hope and Lucille Ball , among others even I've never heard of! >*|*< |

1949 The Harry Lime Theme. Seemingly they didn't have the charts before 1952 but no. 1's were based on song sheet sales. Germaine x |
