Met Millie when I was working at the Townhouse Hotel at Kings Cross in Sydney back in the mid 60's. I was working as a porter for a while and was very happy to carry her bags up to her room. What a beautiful girl she was. Came up to the NT not long after and worked out bush most of the time and hardly ever heard of her again. Never forgot her though. And my first name is Henry too.
Carrying the bags for the Queen of Ska when she was her most beautiful is like being a woman who got to meet a young Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and Roll...You lucky bastard!! Good memorable story!
The World was Cheated - Part2: Her dazzling smile, unique dancing, and her songs bring joy to your heart. And that baby voice makes you melt. An even bigger surprise is how great her other songs are.. All of them should have been big hits. The world was cheated out of hearing these jewels and Millie was cheated out of getting the recognition she deserved. Some stupid record distributor or some other powerful jerk must have blocked this from happening. I cant think of any other reason
The World was Cheated-Part1: I never saw Millie perform until recently when I wondered if the woman singing that great old catchy hit My Boy Lollipop could be as cute as her voice. I was shocked to find that she isnt just cute but absolutely adorable and overflowing with charisma and talent. I cant think of any recording star who flirted with the camera so often and effectively. Her expressions are priceless.
Europe was starved for American and British hits to quickly be transalted and produced as local language recordings. Many big name recording artists were contractually obligated to record their own hits in foreign languages. Johnny Cash, Brenda Lee, Connie Francis, Peggy March, even Motown Groups sang in German, French, Italian, Japanese. In those days the popularity of recording artists was "milked" for every drop by producers. Millie was HOT, and exploited for all she was worth!
hi ..beautiful millie live's in london and is well i hear she is going to do a show when ? im sorry dont know yet if i can let you know ... beauitful lady meet her in london 70's and then in the 80's and i was so pls'ed she remeber me from the time in the 70's at a party so i was so smiling ... bless to you & all .. sweetbaldy ...
millie small where from milk river and my mother were from alley clarendon and where 10 yrs old when my boy lollipop can an hit jamaica where excited because in those days that did`nt happened too often . but millie had an article in the british papers about jamaica and where she came from that had jamaicans upset. and that could be a big part of her down fall. we never knew what happened to her good luck millie.
Um, this isn't Reggae, it's Ska, which predates reggae by at least a decade. Millie Small was an original, along with Phyillis Dillon, Laurel Aitkin, Symarip and Desmond Dekker. Ska was and still is much more fun to dance to. Bands like Bad Manners and the Trojans paid homage to the early ska bands. Skatalites being #1 Ska band ever.
Millie Small, similar to Elvis Presley popularized a new form of new music by breaking through the charts... Ska (First Wave, Second Wave, or Third Wave or Ska Punk) would not exist without Millie Small, and probably true for Reggae too, since as you pointed out, Ska came first. All hail the Goddess of Ska, Millie Small!
OH God....her voice is annoying. It just pierces your ears but thank goodness for the smooth background. I love the older reggae music for it was so much it made you want to get up and dance. My dad is from the West Indies and whenever my town had a celebration for this culture back in the 60s it was fun. Nowdays its too much violence with the young and it ruins the celebration.
@MrLarrygold @MrLarrygold A litttle puppy on the streeet"""""" Oh oh henry ,Its great when you actually listen to words, You should try it sometime , Dork¬¬!!!!!!!!
I disagree As a DJ there is no greater thrill than turning every thing down and building just before a drop before turning everything back up and watching everyone go crazy Obviously there is a lot of crap out there but I think it comes down to personal preference, I always feel music shouldn't be a burdon to listen to so if you're feeling uncomfortable listening to something, turn over
❤é sempre bom relembrar estes sucessos do passado

@@Millwall77 its only on vinyl, which I have
@@BreeRandomness I got it on cd. A cd version of Best of Millie with loads of bonus tracks. 56 songs all in all.
Smile

Product of the third world - Jamaica. Might be annoying for some but I love it. Grew up on it.
1:46 de bonheur !!!! rude girl ska ......
R.I.P.

Sure, folks. It's boppin-good early ska! No doubt on THAT backbeat. Personally I like the tight bari filling in some of the voids.
Original ska JA🖤💚

awesome voice, lol
Sad but she will be back in the new system
i was hearing Introducing dionne bromfield and whoa la
The b side of my boy lollipop.
Is she English? I think I hear an accent in her voice. The music sounds like the music that inspired Ska. How long ago was this?
Jamaican
aqui no youtube tinha um clipe dessa musica e sumiu,por que?
Looks like sza
Millie May Sing Like A Mouse, But She Is The Best Ever!! :)
@eego1
I believe Millie is OK and living in the United Kingdom.
holy shit that's kind of ska!
Who's the bari player? Anyone know?
Charles Bukowski brought me here.
