Happy Birthday to Me!

Yep, today is my birthday and I plan on sharing this day with you all. I have been taking pictures since I hit the alarm clock this morning and plan on posting all my pictures before I go to bed tonight. Until then, I want to share what was up on this date in history. Top TV shows, Hit songs, and famous people I share this date with, so here goes....

Hit songs in 1971

Black Magic Woman - Carlos Santana

Got a black magic woman,
I got a black magic woman
I got a black magic woman got me so blind I can't see
I got a black magic woman
She try'in to make a devil out of me

Turn your back on me baby,
turn your back on me baby
Turn your back on me baby don't turn babe
Turn your back on me baby You might just pick up my magic sticks

Got your spell on me baby,
got your spell on me baby
Got your spell on me baby turnin my heart into stone
I need you so bad magic woman I can't leave you alone
