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!
@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¬¬!!!!!!!!
Woooo. She sounds like the lady from "Gone With the Wind". ...."I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' no babies." I think her name was Millie too. That singing is ooo weee.
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.
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.
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.
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 ...
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.
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
all too true. Now we get someone snarling obscenities on one note, to the sound of a computer thumping. But that happens to music - it hits a wall and there's nowhere to go. So they turn up the noise and tell the youth it's the latest - and they buy it. That's stealing their right to hear real music.
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
Another of Millie's hit songs. A voice that is unmistakably sweet and Jamaican. We used to groove to her songs in Jamaica in the sixties. Hope she's doing OK wherever she is today
She's so cute
and the song is great

If Millie was able to make the scene on a national level in '62 or '63, her songs would have been bigger hits. Same with The Pixies Three.
