Songfacts®:

  • Charles K. Harris is credited with writing the first million seller - "After The Ball." This is not that song. This song was written by Ron Miller (1933-2007), who wrote the lyrics to "For Once In My Life."

    "After The Ball" was a once in a lifetime song, too:

    You tell everybody that you made it
    Your life is an act, too bad they laid it!
    You turkey, you rat


    Charlene included it on her album I've Never Been To Me, famous for its hit title track. >>>
