@kempouk Probably mixed with Chinese or Arawak, but she is clearly Black, especially once you look at the other pics online. And yes 100% Jamaican, 100% cutie.
.....fabulous.... takes me back to when I was a kid......10 brownie points to anybody who can name the harmonica player.......he's someone who is very well known today....
@norristerse ...oh no the embarrassment.....I've had that belief in my head since I was a kid,...I've got to run off now and check my souce's.....you know how to wipe the smile off someone's face, don't ya'.....sniff...
@norristerse You know, I actually remember a DJ once saying after playing this that Rod Stewart was harmonica player. It would have had to been after he was a little bit famous...1971 maybe?
This Was The Very 1st Song I Heard From Millie Small Back In The Early Days On The Radio!! It Was A Huge Hit In The USA & In England (Great Britain!! She Was Really Awesome Back Then!! Bring Back Millie!!

What happened to her eye? It did not look like that in the 1964 version.

i've never heard of him either! apparently he was the leader of the "pete hogman blues band".
(but then i guess he would be, wouldn't he!)

i feel guilty now! but if it's any consolation, i believed it for years, too.
(would be even funnier if it turned out we were both wrong and it was bob dylan or little walter on their day off!)

This song must have made some impression on me at age 5 or 6 as it's my earliest memory of hearing a song on the radio.
