Millie Small - The Best Of Millie Small
Review by Vita Skuja
The Best of Millie Small is a collection of some of the most popular tracks by Jamaican singer Millie Small. Released in 1994, this album features 20 tracks that showcase Small's unique style and voice, which helped to popularize ska music in the 1960s.
The album features some of Small's biggest hits, including "My Boy Lollipop," "Sweet William," and "Oh Henry." These songs are characterized by their upbeat rhythms, catchy melodies, and Small's distinctive voice, which is both sweet and powerful.
The Best of Millie Small is a great introduction to Small's music, as it features some of her most memorable songs from throughout her career. While some of the tracks may sound a bit dated to modern ears, the overall quality of the music and Small's vocals make this album a must-have for fans of ska and reggae music.

She was beautiful.
I SO LOVE THIS SONG OF THE PAST
Dear Millie, you'll never be forgotten.
Between the gigantic microphone, the unmanageable cord and her turning her back to the camera , I couldn't enjoy the song because I was laughing so hard. ?
Aqui no Brasil tem uma versão da jovem Guarda chamada "meu bem lollipop".
she was so cute
WOW, I remember this song, it's fantastic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RIP Millie Small with lollipops up above (1947-2020)
Belissima msc : recordação bmaravilhosa dos meu 14 anos de idade.
YESS
We loved this song in the 60's and now my great grandson (he's 2) loves this song!!
I danced to this song in my very first dance recital, back in 1989. It randomly popped into my head today, so I came to YouTube to find it. Thanks!
Beatfull ?❤️???
These old songs are actual, real songs not auto tunes we hear today.
Do you know this song is a cover from Robert Spencer???
A Diva that was in the making.
Cute. Lip-synching to the record even with the microphone.
