    Often heard this on the radio as a kid in the 1960's, brings my childhood back every time I hear it without fail, sorry to hear of the passing away of Abi Ofarim, one half of the duo, 80's not a bad innings though and she's still around at 77, it's surreal, seems like only yesterday they were this young carefree sounding couple singing on the radio :)

      Abi is the bloke, A trained dancer and dance teacher, Esther was his wife. I always believe if the man is the better dancer, he shouldn't show up his lady. Especially not his Cinderella Rockafella. Isn't it FAB seeing the video.

    I had never ever heard of Esther & Abi until I read of Abi's passing and followed links in Wikipedia to this artist and this song. They were like a different Sonny & Cher, then they went their separate ways and made lots more music. Great song and great video, so old-timey and so kitschy, with the kitsch plugged into an amp and turned up to eleven.

    #1 Song in England: "Cinderella Rockefella" was a novelty single most famously released by the Israeli duo group Esther and Abi Ofarim, a then married couple, in 1968. The song was recorded in 1967 & it took an appearance on The Eamonn Andrews Show to bring the song to the attention of the British public. The track peaked at No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart in February 1968, where it remained for three weeks.

      As poster said, written by MASON WILLIAMS, American musician who did 'CLASSICAL GAS'. It was offered to them on 'THE SMOTHERS BROTHERS SHOW', which he worked on here in US. It topped the charts in UK, made it to 68 or so here. Unfortunately, I think the success of it ended up ruining their marriage, as they had differences in future work choices!

    March 1968. What a coincidece that Esther & Abi Ofarim topped the charts in London at the same time when Polish students in Warsaw were attacked by the communist police. The communist rulers of Poland, installed there by the Soviet Union, branded those Polish students as zionists but the un-grateful West branded all the Poles as anti-Semites. As a result, Polish Jews were offered no-return passports, so they could emigrate to Israel, however they mostly decided to stay in the Western European countries. You should have known that Poles were not allowed to keep their passports in their private drawers. Poles have had their passports stored in the police stations back then, as Poles were first arrested by the Soviets in 1945 and later they were being arrested whenever they were being born. Such was life around 1968. This is why Poles support so strongly Ukrainians today.

    What's the matter with me ?
    I keep hearing Abi singing: "YODEL Lady, YODEL Lady, that I love !"
    So, i keep wondering if he ever heard her YODELING in the dressing room or the shower ?
