1919 After You've Gone-- Marion Harris
1929 Sweethearts on Parade-- Guy Lombardo (I've heard of him)
1939 The Umbrella Man-- Kay Kyser (and his musical knowledge School?)
1949 A Little Bird Told Me-- Evelyn Knight
1959 Smoke gets in Your Eyes-- Platters (Come on everyone, let's hit that high note at the end. What, no Big Bopper?)

Of interest, in 1964 on Feb. 1st, the number one song was "I Want toHoldYour Hand" by the Beatles, the beginning of the British Invasion and of me getting into music.
