More Millie

"My Boy Lollipop," cut in London by a group of session musicians and featuring her childlike, extremely high-pitched vocals, was the first international ska hits and introduced global audiences to the bluebeat style. Millie Small, who was known as "the Blue Beat Girl" , was just a teenager at the time, and little was heard from her after she left the business in the early '70s. Originally released in 1964 on Fontana in the UK, this album is widely considered a milestone.
