SHE'D BE 46 YEARS OLD NOW: The #1 song in the nation ten years ago today commemorated the life and death of Princess Diana, who died in a car crash on August 31, 1997. The song was of course Elton John's "Candle in the Wind 1997/Something About the Way You Look Tonight", a slightly reworked version of his 1974 hit "Candle in the Wind", which was written about the death of Marilyn Monroe, who like Diana was just 36 when she died.
The song bidding "Goodbye, England's rose" became the biggest selling single of all time, with the proceeds donated to Diana's favorite charities.
