Red Rubber Ball

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Red Rubber Ball" is a pop song which became a hit (going to #2 in the Billboard Hot 100) in the 1966 version recorded by The Cyrkle.

It was co-written by Paul Simon (of Simon and Garfunkel) and Bruce Woodley (of The Seekers).[1] According to Cyrkle guitarist Tom Dawes, Simon offered it to The Cyrkle when they were opening for Simon and Garfunkel on tour. [2][3]

The Seekers also recorded "Red Rubber Ball" for their 1966 album Georgy Girl — and the Seekers' recording of "Red Rubber Ball" can also be heard on 'Disc Three - 1966 - 1967' of the CD box set The Seekers Complete.

At "Music Notes", the sheet music for "Red Rubber Ball", for the album Simon and Garfunkel - Old Friends, also credits the songwriters as Paul Simon and Bruce Woodley [4]
