Red Rubber Ball was by The Cyrkle, a band from Lafayette College in Easton. Brian Epstein was their manager and Paul Simon wrote the song. It was either Epstein or John Lennon who provided the spelling of the name, which was based on The Circle around Centre Square, Easton's main crossroads of Northampton and Third streets.

In answer to the question "What pop star had an SS father and was a product of Lebensborn? name and group." The group is ABBA. Not sure of the name but it is one of the gals. Her mother was from Norway and during WWII when Norway was occupied she had an affair with a German. After the war they fled to Sweeden.
