What is it with the UK and piano-based instrumentals? Winifred Atwell and Russ Conway had already bagged a brace of number ones apiece and now here's Floyd Cramer with another.

'On The Rebound' tinkles a light melody that loops around itself but has the good sense to break out into a jazzy, handclapping middle eight that keeps it fresh.
