=================================

Frank Mills (1942) is a Canadian pianist and recording artist, best known for his solo instrumental hit "Music Box Dancer".

Born in Quebec, Mills began his career as a member of The Bells from 1970 to 1972. He performed piano for the band, whose best-known hit was "Stay Awhile" (1971). After leaving The Bells in 1972, Mills began a solo career.

Frank released an album in 1974 that featured "Music Box Dancer". The single was sent to easy listening stations in Canada, but a copy was sent in error to CFRA-AM, a pop station in Ottawa. The program director played the A-side and couldn't figure out why it had been sent to his station, so he played the B-side to see if the record was mistakenly marked. He liked "Music Box Dancer" and added it to his station's playlist, turning the record into a Canadian hit.

The Poet and I.......

Love the song! My infant son and I danced around the livingroom floor many times in 1979. He still loves the music.
