	Musicians - Ricochet

"Ricochet" (sometimes rendered "Rick-o-Shay" and also as "Ricochet Romance") is a popular song. The credits show it to be written by Larry Coleman, Joe Darion, and Norman Gimbel, without apportioning the work on the lyrics and music, in 1953. In fact, since Coleman and Darion wrote "Changing Partners" the same year, with Darion as lyricist and Coleman as musicwriter, while Gimbel wrote the English lyric for "Sway" the same year, it can be concluded that Coleman wrote the music and Darion and Gimbel the lyrics.

It was included in a 1954 movie, Ricochet Romance.

The best-known version was recorded by Teresa Brewer on July 10, 1953 and released by Coral Records as catalog number 61043, peaking at #2 on the Billboard charts in 1953. The flip side was Too Young to Tango. In the United Kingdom, the most popular version was by Joan Regan, and another version was done by Alma Cogan.

The recording by Alma Cogan was released in 1954 by HMV as catalog number 7M 173. The flip side was "The Moon Is Blue".

The song should not be confused with the single of the same name by Faith No More
