MILLIE SMALL, 73
Died 5 May 2020
Jamaican singer and songwriter who had a big hit in 1964 with "My Boy Lollipop." (#2-1964) It had a ska beat to it. One of my favorite songs from the 1960s. You hear it and you just have to move. Sad that it was only 1:53 long. I could have used a lot more.
Born Millicent Smith. Had nickname "The Blue Beat Girl."
Like the comment said, "No one sounds like her."
Some other songs by her to give a listen:
"Oh Henry"
"Killer Joe"
"Sweet William" (#40-1964)
