Millie Small

   Posted by: Past Contributers   in General, Light Hearted

Hey, do you remember the early Ska rhythm from the 60’s?
No?
Oh well, I am getting really old and nostalgic.
I still remember the great, lovely and unique Millie Small.

Millie Small
Millie Small smiles

Her real name was Millicent Smith and she was brought to Britain from Jamaica in 1963 by Chris Blackwell.
Her first and sadly the last great hit was called “My Boy Lollypop” .
She recorded yet another big hit “My Sweet William” but this song had never reached the same popularity as the “Lollipop”.
And so the delightful Millie Small went into the history of pop music as a one hit wonder.
Sooooo sad.

Here is full discography of Millie:

Fontana TF425 1963 Don’t You Know/ Until You’re Mine
Fontana TF449 1964 My Boy Lollipop/ Something’s Gotta Be Done
Fontana TF479 1964 Sweet William/ Oh Henry
Fontana TF502 1964 I Love The Way You Love/ Bring It On Home To Me
Fontana TF515 1965 I’ve Fallen In Love With A Snowman/ What Am I Living For
Fontana TF529 1965 See You Later Alligator/ Chilly Kisses
Fontana TF591 1965 My Street/ It’s Too Late
Fontana TF617 1965 Bloodshot Eyes/ Tongue Tied
Fontana TF740 1966 Killer Joe/ Carry Go Bring Come
Fontana TF796 1967 Chicken Feed/ Wings Of A Dove
Fontana TF948 1968 When I Dance With You/ Hey Mr. Love
Decca F12948 1969 Readin’ Writin’ Arithmetic/ I Want You Never To Stop
Brit WI 1002 1966 My Street/ A Mixed Up Fickle Moody Self Centred, Spoiled Kind Of Boy
Island WIP 6021 1967 You Better Forget/ I Am In Love

A bit of trivia:
Do you know who plays the harmonica in “MyBoy Lollipop”?

Legend has it that popular British singer Rod Stewart played the Harmonica on “lollipop”.
Allegedly it was his first stage performance and it is believed he still gets royalties paid every time this song is played.

I never heard of her, felis. I will check her out. Very interesting tidbit about Rod. Far more entertaining than Barry Mannilow being Bette Midler’s piano player before hitting it big. ;)

She was abused by the company Chris Blackwell, and unlike Rod Stewart, she never gets any royalties. Like most Island artists under Blackwell’s managements, she is now a broken person without an income. Blackwell’s ancestors were slave traders, when it was first legal, and later when it was illegal. People like him, stole the intellectual property of several generations of Jamaican artists, and he’s smiling all the way to the bank.

Hi Millie fans,
Can anybody help me?

As part of my childhood biography being written I have mentioned the great Millie who visited my part of the world in 1964 when My Boy Lollipop made it big over here. Can anyone tell me her date of birth and if she is contactable nowadays and if so where?

Many thanks.

JOIN THE “MILLIE IS BACK” CAMPAIGN NOW!

Hello Millie fans, Glad to have found you all. I’ve red all the comments but, the one that got me most was what one fan had to say about the way Chris Blackwell treated the ever talented and still popular millie Small and other Jamaican acts, bring tears to my eyes. But, not to worry, Millie will prevail! I’ve got so much good news to tell you all I don’t know where to start. For instant: I’m Millie’s Producer and I can tell you all that I have some new masters with our dear Millie. I’m also her manager, songwriter, press and everything and I will need some of you to help me out with her come back mission in the coming months ahead. Together we can make her come back the biggest on the internet. You will love her new cd it is so romantic and was set in the early fifties and into the early sixties. It’s a slow to mid tempo the kind of song you would want to grab someone and dance close up with. Its that kind of a song. And the story line is so great according to all the Disc Jockeys on the radio in many U.S. States.
Here is just one comment about her new cd which sums it all up by Audrey Hall, the lady who smash the British charts with “One Dance,” over two decades ago.
——————————————————————————
Hi Charlie,
 
I love the song, the music, the melody, everything!  At first I thought it might be too old fashioned for this day and age but then I thought, if I like it so much, why wouldn’t others?
 
Good luck with it.
 
Audrey
Her new cd single will be posted on my web site very soon. Be the first to download her new cd single and tell all your friends about it. I will inform you all again soon (here) with another message/blog regarding the latest developments in the continuing story of ” Millie Is Back” The Title of her new album. The lead off single “My Sugar Plum,” was written over twenty years ago by C E Cross. So far, we have recorded six songs and the next time I go to the UK we will record the another six songs making it a twelve track album. The songs are written and co-written by both Millie and I. I will need some applicants who can take care of her fan base in their country and to coordinate with other fan leaders around the globe. I will gather all the Millie’s latest information and happening to the three persons chosen and they in turn will convey the message to all the mass. We shall also have (Ring tone) of her latest smash “My Sugar Plum,”available on the web site for downloading.

All you need to apply is: Some knowledge of Millie and able to scour the internet looking for whatever ifnormation you can find about Millie, to be a leader and when chosen you will be required to keep all her fans up-to-date with all the latest information in this episode of MILLIE IS BACK.

Hi Lucy,
How nice of you to have met Millie when she came to Lagos/Nigerian ’66 to perform. This must have been a triumphant occasion for you to have met her at that age and seeing her performed. You’ve also, mentioned that she done a Jingle for the radio’s and I noticed you’ve even remembered the lines is fabulous. I will pass your information to her the next time I’m in contact with her. Also tell your friends that Millie has a brand new cd coming out to tie in with her birth date in October which will be on-10/05/06. Also she will be in the Jamaica Gleaner News Paper with a large story thereabout. You may be able to access the story online by going to http://www.jamaicagleaner.com

Today your prayers are answered. Millie has no brother by the name of Glen, that I know of and if so he is must be dead or a half brother, since she has only one brother alive to date, but his name is not Glen. As you may or may not know Millie is from the parish of Clarendon.

Millie and Rod Stewart:

Rumors had it that Rod Stewart played harmonica on Millie’s smash entitled ‘My Boy Lollipop’ is true.

Answer: Yes

First chris Blackwell got an harmonica player to play on the hit but he did not quite got it together
so Chris Blackwell sent out the word for another player and Rod Stewart people brought him forward and he was so good according to Millie that he did it in just one take.

Rod Stewart has always denied that he did the harmonica solo in ‘My Boy Lollipop’ – but it’s become a popular urban legend that he did. It seems clear that it was, in fact, Jimmy Powell, a powerful blues singer and harmonica player from Birmingham.
At one time (1963) Powell and Stewart were vocalists and harmonica players in the same band, before Stewart’s Steampacket days. Although Powell has always been well respected in the music industry, he never achieved the commercial success of Stewart and his name is practically unknown to the general public. Thus popular legend confuses history and attributes the MBL harmonica solo to Rod Stewart.

Paul Sanderson,
Jimmy Powell was the first harmonica player to play on MBL, but Chris Blackwell was not satisfied with the end product and had no choice but to request another player in Rod Stewart and his version was the one used on MBL. Jimmy Powell’s version was erased and had never seen the daylight according to Millie who was present at the time of recording. Hence, Ernest Ranglin, the guitarist and producer back then also agrees Rod Steward plays the harmonica and not Jimmy Powell.

Finally, Jimmy Powell has never received any royalties because he is entitled to none.

Some years ago I located a copy of The Rise and Fall of Nellie Brown, a charming musical, written for British television, starring Millie and the legendary Elisabeth Welch. I screened this at the National Film Theatre in 1994 in a tribute to Miss Welch. This was the first time Nellie Brown had been seen since its first screening on Boxing Day, 1964. Light-hearted, captivating and with some catchy songs, in Nellie Brown Millie gives a delightful performance as Selina, a young Jamaican girl who journeys from her loveless home in Liverpool to London to search for her famous “cousin”, Lillabelle Astor, played by Elisabeth Welch. Not only does Millie duet with Elisabeth, but has a wonderful solo number, “I Can Hear Bells.” For further information about Nellie Brown (and an interview with its creator Robert Gould) please refer to my biography Elisabeth Welch: Soft Lights and Sweet Music (Scarecrow Press, 2005). I am hoping to organise another screening of this forgotten musical classic during Devotional (June-November 2007) – the National Portrait Gallery’s forthcoming exhibition about Black women in British entertainment over the last forty years. The exhibition will feature Millie and Elisabeth. For further information please refer to the National Portrait Gallery’s website in June.

I remember with nostalgia the Millie Small’ waves in early 60 and 70s in Nigeria with her ‘My Boy Lollipop and ‘I Love Sweet William’. Her subsequent visit to Nigeria. and a royal welcome from a prominent Oba (King) in South West of Nigeria and a rumour of romance with him cannot be forgotten. The last time I heard of her was when she appeared in the Mayfair Magazine I was disappointed but later forgave her after learning of how the prevailing condition created by exploitation of her talent by the Western media made her to subject herself to such an abuse. However, I am delighted that she is still much alive and that she is coming back in 2008 with her old hits. Any of her latest pictures? Is she married? What of her family? I wish her everything good for the rest of her life for adding joy to my boyhood

I lived in Nigeria in the mid sixties and my very first knowledge of Millie was the Bournvita jingle she sang. I drank Bournvita and I’ve sung the jingle in my mind for the past 40-some years. What I’d like to know is if ANYone, ANYwhere would have any clue as to if there still exists a copy of this recording that I could hear again.

Millie was in Nigeria during my formative years. Everything about her inspires me: voice, song, blackness, the innocence of her persona etc.. She is simply very natural and sweet. Her song can even distract an invading army from war towards peace. I am still looking for where to buy all her songs. I still adore her small postcard I got since the 60s.
Millie! If you read this, I REMAIN YOUR #1 FAN AND I LOVE ALL ABOUT YOU. PEACE!

I first heard My Boy Lollipop in the 60s as a little boy. That clear, high voice of Millie’s was something that stopped you. My Uncle who was so much into Pop introduced me to Millie’s music. I also loved “Dearest” a duet with Jackie Edwards. I did not see her when she visited Nigeria, though I heard about it. I had also heard of all her travails as a result of being short-changed by the record companies… watch what you sign I hear.

I am happy she is alive and ready for a comeback. Many of us can’t wait.

Soon the wait for a serious (official) anthology of Millie’s early work will be over, as Universal Music are planning a long overdue collection of her music, featuring the best of her Fontana, Island, Decca and Trojan work, from 1963 to 1970.

In readiness for the release, we’d welcome any high res scans of photos, labels, LPs or ephemera – needless to say, any contributors will be duly accredited!

When A Cha first posted re a Millie comeback in Sep 2006 Millie was 59. She has now just turned 63 and still nothing has been heard.
No tracks, no information, no publicity no interviews, no new photographs. Nothing. Is this a clever way to manage a comeback? I don’t think so. Pretty soon anybody with any interest in the matter will be too old to care. Including Millie herself.

The long overdue Millie ‘best of’ CD, ‘My Boy Lollipop’ is finally out on Spectrum. Full details can be found on the Trojan and Amazon websites. Hopefully it marks the first of a number of collections highlighting her work.

It seems to be selling well. Amazon sold out their first batch in 2 days and had to re-order.

Well, it’s now almost 2yrs since the MBL cd came out and nothing since! As for this so-called come-back, I don’t think it’ll ever happen un4tunately. And as the apparently all-knowledgable A Cha/Charley Cross last posted here nearly 3yrs ago, I think he was talking a load of rubbish! It’s a shame that no-one seems to really know what’s happening now with Millie – where she is, what she’s doing. I suppose we’ll never hear anything again until the day she dies. Sad.

Greetings,
My family spent 3 years in Nigeria in the mid sixties. Although I never met Millie there, I would have liked to. We did, however, drink Bournvita and often hummed her mnemonic jingle. This jingle has such special memories for me that I am wondering if any of the readers here would have any idea how I could acquire a copy of that or even just hear it somewhere like maybe on some website.
If you would like to contact me, my email address is ogatta_com@hotmail.com
Thanks!
