1970's song with red rubber bouncing ball

Gene once claimed that after the song started to sell big time, he had to quickly fly home and teach his mother the lyrics just in case she was ever questioned about it! Pitney had to use his mother's maiden name Orlowski on the song as he was a writer for BMI, whereas 'Rubber Ball' was a song registered by Aaron Schroeder with the rival ASCAP organisation. The song made #6 in both the US and UK, whereas in Australia, it made it all the way to the #1 spot. 'Rubber Ball' marked the first use of overdubbing of Vee's vocal on one of his recordings and it became the song which made him an international star. The other songs recorded that evening were ' Wishing' (originally unissued), 'Poetry In Motion' and 'Foolish Tears', both of which appeared on Vee's second LP. The recording took place at a four song, 3 hour session at United Recording Studios in LA on August 12, 1960. After they rejected the song, it was reworked by Pitney and picked up by Snuff Garrett for Bobby Vee to record at Liberty Records.

Tony from Sydney, Australia'Rubber Ball' was originally titled 'Rubber Band' and initially offered to Jimmy Jones' management to record as a follow-up to his 'Good Timin'.
