On the rebound flip

Almost half a century ago we had about 4 singles which we played incessantly. One was "On the Rebound" by Floyd Cramer. This morning I woke up with the tune from its flip side on my brain. I can't remember its title, but I think it contained "Purple". Trying to remember its title is driving me mad. Was it "Deep Purple"? - doesn't feel right.

Can anyone help?

(I always regarded the flip as superior to OTR, but both were very fine.)

Wasn't it 'Mood Indigo'?

Thanks, grumpy

I'd just got the color wrong. Ain't the brain (the sleeping brain) a funny thing? Last time I woke up with an ear-worm from the past, it resulted in this thread.

No-one will be interested, I'm sure, but the other 3 singles were "Way down yonder in New Orleans" by Freddie Cannon, One by Emil Ford & The Checkmates of which the flip was "Slow boat to China" (can't even remember what the A-side was) and "Running Bear".

I've still got the single and like to play "On the Rebound" now and then.
