{1}"Rubber Ball" was Vee's second single release in the US where it made #6 on the Billboard charts and was a breakthrough hit for the artist in the UK, where it reached #4 on the UK charts.

{2}Wikipedia says that Gene Pitney wrote "Rubber Ball," although the book "Who Wrote That Song," by Jacobs & Jacobs, credits the song to Musicor Records boss, Aaron Schoreder and Ann Orlowski. Further investigation leads to the website, "Songfacts," where it is claimed that Anne Orlowski was Pitney's mother's maiden name and he used that as a pseudonym for copyright reasons.
