"On the Rebound" is a 1961 instrumental by pianist Floyd Cramer. In contrast to most of Cramer's work, which consisted mostly of countrypolitan ballads, "On the Rebound" was an uptempo rock and roll instrumental. It made No. 4 in the US[2] and No. 1 in the UK.[3]

Song in Popular Culture[edit]

  • "On the Rebound" was later featured during the opening credits of the 2009 Oscar-nominated film An Education, which was set in England in 1961.

In addition to "On the Rebound," the set contains a Cramer original in "Last Date" fashion called "I Can Just Imagine," and another new ditty, "First Impression." Also here are "Tammy," "Danny Boy" and "Alma Mater." And they are all played by Cramer with his marvelously commercial touch."
