I am playing this tune for my Mother who just passed away on Tuesday night April 23, 2024 , she was 89 years old, her nickname was sunshine🌞❤️ I will never forget her 😢
Some people are so much sunshine to the square inch. By Walt Whitman.
Someone had previously put the wrong month . The correct month is April .
❤️
I was a disc jockey down in Arkansas when this song came out. Talk about coming out of nowhere. From nothing to Top Ten for a guy that no one had heard of before. Kudos Frank Mills for a great song and great memories for hundreds of millions of music lovers.
It's an instrumental NOT a song.
@@ndhan72 And I am sure you are a lot of fun at parties, mumbling to yourself in the corner while everyone else is enjoying themselves listening and dancing to songs. 🤣🤣
I remember you too Rick. And remember when this came out. I lived in sw Missouri.
One of my dad's all-time favorites. Played in his honor. I love you, dad. RIP William L. Martin, 2/24/1938 - 1/13/2023.
This was my dad's favorite song too. I never remember him being much into music
but when he heard this he became obsessed and bought the LP. RIP Dad, miss you.

❤love to you and your Dad
Wonderful song
God bless you, ALL .
@@emilybaird3112 How kind of you to respond. I appreciate It! God Bless, Be Well ! 😇
It was one of my dad's favorites as well along with a few others. Every Sunday he would play them. He passed away in 2019 and I listen to them a lot as my way of staying connected to him.
My mother used to play this on the piano and it was one of my favorites!!! She’s been gone 20 yrs now, thanks for unlocking a great childhood memory!
My mom did too , 😢 it reminds me of my mommy , I miss her so
My mom also. Hope your playing it up above
My husband gave me a music box that plays this tune. That was way back in the 70's. He's been dead now for 33 years. I still love this tune.
When Music Box Dancer was brand new, my wife and I were newly weds. She loved this song then and still does now. We had no television yet. Our evening's entertainment was our stereo. Being together, enjoying good music, was what we did. Thank YOU, Frank Mills for your Music Box Dancer. That's 49 years of being a part of our lives.
Beautiful comment! ♥
I am 92 and it still brings me to tears such a musical story
❤️
This great tune still leaves me breathless after all these years and I'm 78 years old now. Praise God!
I’m 59 year old now this music will live forever and ever todays music won’t this type of music will take over
god bless you
I'M 80 and still enjoy it
he as of 2011 still answered emails personally I know that's 9 years but google his official site
Praise God, indeed!
I saw him in concert. It was a tremendously pleasant experience. He created a whole lot of wonderful music. 👍
My dad loved this song, it was playing on my little radio once, and he asked me to turn it up. He said, "I like this tune." He is gone now, but I play it whenever I miss him. RIP Daddy.
❤️
Im 50 now. When this song came out in the 70's, my dad worked at a warehouse in north Jersey. It was a maze of boxes and pallets. This song came on and my kid sister and i would get lost in them and try to find each other. One of the best songs, and memories, of my life.
Im 42 & I use to ask my mom to play this for me over n over on the record player. I love this song. I'm not sure why but its always made my eyes water. In a good way of course.
Same here. Reminds me of a long gone better time.
It's an instrumental NOT a song.
The song reminds you and me of better times with friends and family.
I'm 67 years old and this song STILL brings tears to my eyes!!
I'm 46 years old and I still can't listen to the full song without tearing up!
I'm 46 and started crying right as I read your comment.
It kills me, too.
same, takes me straight back to my grandmothers loungeroom. miss her
Same, my Moms song!
H NEk 😂
This was my mom's favorite song. I played it for her right before she went to be with the Lord.
My condolences to you. Mom passed last June! It was her favorite song.
Amen, my friend.
I did the same for my
I did the same for my mother-in-law
I hope someone does that for me!
I've had this tune in my head for all my life........Finally After ALL these years! I've found it!! THANK YOU 🙏🙏
Happy for you dude
I love moments like this. Enjoy
Me as well, Freddie. My Mom used to listen to this and I can still remember the last time I heard it on the radio in the 90s, been trying to figure out the song title and artist name up until now. In a strange way, it's like a weight has been lifted off of me.
Same here , my dad recorded this onto a tape for my sisters stereo system for her Christmas present. I loved the tune and I played it more than my sister did, then she recorded over it, been trying to find the tune and the name of it for 40 years, I'm 53 now. It was played at a new year party last night and I've not stopped playing it
Tive que assoviar para o Google, daí consegui 😅
Back in 1979 i worked in Beautifull Oregon away from my family and friends . I was lonely , but this melody played all day on FMradio lifted my spirit and gave the support i needed. Thanks Frank for sharing a music from your heart.
From a time when you could have such a wide variety of songs and tunes in the charts, just something for everyone.
I really do miss those times
It brings memories of happier times, when I was around 4 or 5 years old. Pure innocence. And my parents were alive. I'd like to thank Mr. Mills for creating such a beautiful masterpiece.
Absolutely beautiful
My husband played it as a TRIBUTE to our newborn baby girl in 1976!!🎉💓
That's sweet, but this song didn't come out until 1979....

never tire of listening to this over and over again. very good mood-lifter. listening to this gives me HOPE! :D

This tune brings me and my brother back to childhood memories. I love it so much. Greatest melody
I think the same
Well said
Typical ice cream truck music.
Almost 45 now, lost my Mom June 27th 2020, can't listen to this song without think of her. When I was 4 years old., heard it in a grocery store in Ottawa, KS when we were checking out. She had me go sit down on a bench and wait while she was checking out. I watched her the whole time, I'll never forget her beautiful face, I miss her so much. Happy Mother's Day Mom!
❤️
Remember my mother playing this love you mom miss you
I am a Korean. This music is the background music used by broadcasting companies in the 8.90s to provide weather information, so Koreans in their 30s and older do not know the name of this song, but there is no one who does not know the melody.
Amazing how a song with no words can invoke such emotion. 🎩❤🎹
I have to agree. This is my "go to" song when life just is too much. Needless to say, it was a big part of the soundtrack to my life in 2020
If it has no words it can't be a song, it's a piece of music.
@@andyelliott8027 Zaz
@@andyelliott8027 a song has music as well. Or do you think it’s just words ?Therefore it’s not ‘just’ music. It is an instrumental..
@@xr6lad A song by definition has lyrics, Music Box Dancer does not and is therefore a piece of music and NOT a song. I did not use the word "just", that was your word.
For to many years , I have considered as the happiest wrote son ever. Thanks Frank.
The melody is so beautiful it literally takes wing and flies away. Oh wait, that's his shirt collar. 😊
Nobody will ever even come close to how Frank Mills does. He's got the magic touch.
Hello Judy!! How are you doing?? Hope am not being rude for writing you first?
One of those songs that always makes you happy when you hear it!
It actually made me very angry as a young piano studen.. i hated it.
Listen to it for the first time in 40 years.
I was taught this song at 5 years old.. and i hated it.. its okay dough now.
But... maybe illgo a 35 more years before listening again.. nit much going on.
Oddly enough, I get a sense of nostalgia when I listen to it. Granted, I wasn't born when it came out but playing it I feel a mix of happiness and melancholia.
@@m3rl1n4 I remember it well; one of my favorite 45 records back then.
I drift back to my teens when listening to this masterpiece I am 72 years young and remember this well.
Same here friend.
God bless and keep you both ❤️
I'm 32 years young and I stumbled upon this again recently. I used to listen to it a lot as a child. I don't know if I had a cassette tape or something but this brings back memories.
I remember hearing that song from an ice cream truck.
god bless and stay healthy! :D
My dad is a retired physician. I'd visit his office in the early 80s and this would be on in the hallway once in awhile as they had the easy listening channel on.
I remember my two little daughters dancing to this at a concert. Just beautiful innocent music.
Children are very sensitive. Its really wonderful tune the i would present my daughters too.
Fun fact, Frank wrote and recorded this in 1974 but didn`t as a single until 1978, then went #1 on many world wide charts. Love his music...
What is a "Meany world chart"?
@@puppylove3781 Sorry about that, "many"world wide charts..😁..
Number 3 in the U.S.👍
And well deserved too.
Frank wrote it for his daughter only, it was never meant to be recorded. Frank did so anyway.
I had my lovely son in the same year this song came out and in my mind, I made it his song because he was such a pure joy to me, still is! :)) So full of life and joy! And smiles!!! :))
My dad would whistle this to me when I was little. I miss you, Daddy ❤
This is a song that I had completely forgot existed and the name of it popped up somewhere on another social media. I used to listen to it all the time as a kid, my dad was a pianist and played it flawlessly. Good memories.
Music box dancer by Frank Mills reached number 3 on Billboard pop singles chart in 1979.
Should've been number one.
I have actually wrote lyrics to this song.
@@joycedavis390 that would be awesome to hear.
this tune was released in 1974, I have the 45 R.P.M.. single. it did not get any real traction in terms of air play, but it did catch my ear. it was not until it was re-released in 1979 that it took off, FRANK MILLS was ahead of his time when it was originally released!!!!.
@@gregoryclemen1870 Interesting to hear this. I have a 1979 radio station promotion copy 45 single and the publishing date indicates 1974. I wonder if the 1974 release was also on Polydor Records.
My mom's favorite, RIP Mom ❤❤❤😢
My father would play this for us. Cold winter night. Fire in fireplace. Dad playing this. Beautiful.
Dad past away 2 years ago but I remember hearing this song when I was very young. He loved this song
Hello kat!! How are you doing? Hope am not being rude for writing you first??
World Class BBC2 TEST CARD MUSIC!
Brings me back to being a little boy in the 70’s
A simple song that makes you feel that for a few minutes, all is right with the world
Whenever I hear this song, I yell out, "Ice Cream!"🍦
I am 52 yrs Now....still hearing that...getting refreshing every time.
🎵 I love when he looks up and smiles. He looks so cool back there! Timeless classic legendary song 🎵
Helluva nice jacket Frank's got there.
what a wonderful contemporary document. From a time when madness wasn't dancing on the tables.
Very beautiful song, right up there with Love Is Blue and Chariots Of Fire.
cheers to music boxes
Happiest song ever written.
I remember listening to this song when I was a toddler with my mother....she passed when I was 12, and it brings back a lot of memories...I love and miss you mom ♥️♥️♥️
Frank Mills music will be around Forever! I love him. His music makes me so happy.
My mom played this for me growing up. She told me that she learned it for her grandpa because he loved this song so much, and she played it at his funeral. I never got to meet my great grandpa but this song reminds me of my family past and it makes me nostalgic :)
Fantastic tune, Rachel!
Hi 👋 Carl I Am Playing This Track In. Local Caffe They. Love So much Thanks Kindly For Your Version of This Track ❤
I heard this song last week as of February 2024, I can't get it out of my head, it's a gem of a song, I have it next to "Love is blue" by Paul Mauriat.
😂 One of the first songs I played on the piano for my dad❤ Happy Father’s Day, dad you’re always in our heart❤
Hello Christine!! How are you doing? Hope am not being rude for writing you first?
Well I am 88 , I remember living in Kamloops (1978) going to Town with the radio on in the car and here is Music box dancer. Still love it. Love it for ever. ❤️
I was 8 when this came out. I loved it as a kid. Now 40+ years later it just popped into my head!
1979 …. My first year in high school…. I absolutely loved this. I would listen to a “cassette “ on my Walkman and dance around like a prima ballerina….. beautiful memories of my adolescence.
I'm 75 and still adore this beautiful music 🎶 🎵 ❤️
I could put this on a loop and let it play for hours. It was a favorite to DANCE-skate🛼🛼 to when I was a teen. Truly, it just inspired my feet to move like the music box dancer, but on wheels. I just turned 60, and it's STILL my FAVORITE piece of piano music. GOD BLESS FRANK and HIS BEAUTIFUL HANDS!!!
Hello Connie!! How are you doing? Hope am not being rude for writing you first?
The greatest Piano piece ever written or played since the invention of music
This was my grandma favorite song and When i listen to this song I can se my grandma dancing to her favorite song
I watch this video whenever I need to relax. I have NEVER seen a performance where the pianist was more chill, relaxed, and truly appearing to enjoy his own performance. Hats off, Frank Mills!
This song never fails to make me smile!
Same here!
It's such a happy and cheerful melody. But it brings me to tears everytime I hear it. But a kind of good tears. I don't know why. Maybe because it reminds me of a long gone and better time.
A Masterpiece!!
My moms favorite..Love and miss you mom 4/13/23
Eine wunderbare melodie.....und eine wunderbare zeit damals
--- this popped into my head for the first time in 40 years --- 15APR24
It's like the '50's and '60's were the great period for outstanding instrumentals: "Tequila" "Swinging' Shepherd Blues" "Walk Don't Run" "Alley Cat" "Cast Your Fate to the Wind" "Miserlou" "Time is Tight" the list goes on and on. But this late-comer was one of the best.
One of the last of the great instrumentals. What's fun is matching many of these great songs as ring tones for many in my phone contacts. I try to have some connection between the person and the reason I chose that song. Makes it easy to know who is calling even if I am in a different room.
Absolutely A Masterpiece---Thank You Frank Mills.
First time i heard this i was in tears . Its so beautiful it hit my soul.
Hello Elizabeth!!! How are you doing? Hope am not being rude for writing you first?
I miss you Grandma. ❤
Yes This Was Grandma's Favorite Version. ❤😊
Very underrated tune . brilliant
I love watching someone play an instrument with such control and love of what they’re doing.
This song was the very first dance recital I danced to at 5 years old. At 43, I listen to this with such fond memories 😊
This by far my favorite instrumental song, I have loved this song since it was released in 1979. There is something about Music Box Dancer, even on a bad day, I hear this song, it just gives me relaxing comfort.
Yes, also I love The Gael, Last of The Mohican theme song.
Finally I found the earliest piece of music I could remember as a little child :-))) I'm born in 1975, so I was 4 when it was released... Beautiful!!!
This came out in 1979....
@@lunachickfringe5319 So I'm right 1975+4=1979
My mom Treva loved frank mills piano playing she died 9 years ago this Christmas 🎄 I miss her.
One of many great one-hit wonders of its era.
Soothing on a harden heart
The memories this song brings back, are priceless.
I can never express what this song means to me.
God Bless
I remember this lovely tune from spring 1979, I was in the 8th grade. 😀
1979 IS TRUE!
So ein wunderschönes Instrumental Stück wird es in der heutigen Zeit nicht mehr geben danke für viele unvergessen Stunden
This was the sign off song for channel 2 news in Nashville TN. 1980.
Timeless beauty
I'd agree with you on that 1 way or another.😊
I don't miss much about the '70s, but this track is one of the things I do.
❤❤❤played at our wedding 10/25/97 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
First herd this song way back when I was 9 at a dentist office till this day is my one of my favorite songs.. play on frank well done song 👌👌👌
Absolutely love this ❤
Back in 1979, when I first heard this, I didn't have much time for instrumental songs. This was a game changer for me, and 44 years later, I still loved it as much as in 1979
I've always thought this melody was so bright and beautiful. Makes me think of children dancing.
Canada's own Frank Mills a piano legend
One from my late teenage years, loved it then as I do now.
One of my Daddy's favorite's also . A big tough Marine, and the best Daddy a kid could ask for. My Mama and Daddy were the Best . Was so very blessed list them so very young.
I was 16 doing part time work at a local radio station and would always play this right before the top of the hour of the hour for news, since retired from radio I just happened to come across this.
You and I are about the same age, then. Spring of '79, right? I would turn 16 in June.
Same age and if I heard this every hour I'd have killed myself before I turned 17.
Erinnerungen werden wach 35 Jahre später….Unglaublich! Feuchte Augen…
Für meine Familie …ich werde das niemals vergessen.
Such a brilliant tune. How can you not be happy listening to this catchy instrumental?
