This was my dad's favorite song too. I never remember him being much into music but when he heard this he became obsessed and bought the LP. RIP Dad, miss you.
It was one of my dad's favorites as well along with a few others. Every Sunday he would play them. He passed away in 2019 and I listen to them a lot as my way of staying connected to him.
I was a disc jockey down in Arkansas when this song came out. Talk about coming out of nowhere. From nothing to Top Ten for a guy that no one had heard of before. Kudos Frank Mills for a great song and great memories for hundreds of millions of music lovers.
@@ndhan72 And I am sure you are a lot of fun at parties, mumbling to yourself in the corner while everyone else is enjoying themselves listening and dancing to songs. 🤣🤣
Frank Mills wrote this song for his daughter who was gravely ill to try and cheer her up. It was never meant for public release, it was her song. After hearing it she said no , you have to share this with everyone. And aren't we all very glad that he did. One of the most joyous, most happy songs ever written, because it was written out of true love.
Im 42 & I use to ask my mom to play this for me over n over on the record player. I love this song. I'm not sure why but its always made my eyes water. In a good way of course.
My dad loved this tune, it was playing on my little radio once, and he asked me to turn it up. He said, "I like this tune." He is gone now, but I play it whenever I miss him. RIP Daddy.
@@melissagahn same here my mom loved this masterpiece remember it when I was young I too listen to it whenever I miss my mom and dad it's so beautiful. Almost every day. love 💕 and miss you mom and dad. I'll be fine
Im 50 now. When this song came out in the 70's, my dad worked at a warehouse in north Jersey. It was a maze of boxes and pallets. This song came on and my kid sister and i would get lost in them and try to find each other. One of the best songs, and memories, of my life.
That's ironic that you are from the Garden State my friend... I'm from there as well. I'm actually from the City of Paterson and lived in Hackensack and lived in Freehold as well.. Such memories
When Music Box Dancer was brand new, my wife and I were newly weds. She loved this song then and still does now. We had no television yet. Our evening's entertainment was our stereo. Being together, enjoying good music, was what we did. Thank YOU, Frank Mills for your Music Box Dancer. That's 49 years of being a part of our lives.
Your beautiful reply to this beautiful post featuring such a beautiful song is beautiful. I lost a wonderful, noble, godly, exciting, satisfying, selfless, and beautiful from the neck up, from the neck down, beautiful when she sang, when she spoke, and when she'd joke. I had the best and she left the next Lady some glass slippers of a certain size to try and fill. With my (God's version of) luck, the next Wonder Woman will be much much much more than enough just being her Sweet Self. May you fall in love and awe and satisfaction with yourself, with whole lonesomeness, and (maybe) with God and may you be visited beautifully by your sweet 'one who got away' supernaturally if you're open.
Almost 45 now, lost my Mom June 27th 2020, can't listen to this song without think of her. When I was 4 years old., heard it in a grocery store in Ottawa, KS when we were checking out. She had me go sit down on a bench and wait while she was checking out. I watched her the whole time, I'll never forget her beautiful face, I miss her so much. Happy Mother's Day Mom!
Me as well, Freddie. My Mom used to listen to this and I can still remember the last time I heard it on the radio in the 90s, been trying to figure out the song title and artist name up until now. In a strange way, it's like a weight has been lifted off of me.
Same here , my dad recorded this onto a tape for my sisters stereo system for her Christmas present. I loved the tune and I played it more than my sister did, then she recorded over it, been trying to find the tune and the name of it for 40 years, I'm 53 now. It was played at a new year party last night and I've not stopped playing it
It brings memories of happier times, when I was around 4 or 5 years old. Pure innocence. And my parents were alive. I'd like to thank Mr. Mills for creating such a beautiful masterpiece.
I am playing this tune for my Mother who just passed away on Tuesday night April 23, 2024 , she was 89 years old, her nickname was sunshine🌞❤️ I will never forget her 😢
Back in 1979 i worked in Beautifull Oregon away from my family and friends . I was lonely , but this melody played all day on FMradio lifted my spirit and gave the support i needed. Thanks Frank for sharing a music from your heart.
It actually made me very angry as a young piano studen.. i hated it. Listen to it for the first time in 40 years. I was taught this song at 5 years old.. and i hated it.. its okay dough now. But... maybe illgo a 35 more years before listening again.. nit much going on.
Oddly enough, I get a sense of nostalgia when I listen to it. Granted, I wasn't born when it came out but playing it I feel a mix of happiness and melancholia.
I'm 32 years young and I stumbled upon this again recently. I used to listen to it a lot as a child. I don't know if I had a cassette tape or something but this brings back memories.
I am a Korean. This music is the background music used by broadcasting companies in the 8.90s to provide weather information, so Koreans in their 30s and older do not know the name of this song, but there is no one who does not know the melody.
I can literally hear the first few bars of this song, and can be transported back to my grandparents house in the early 80's. I can see it exactly how it was, and how safe, and great life was then. And of course I see my grandparents, and I fall to pieces. Still makes a grown man sob...Thank you, Frank Mills..
My daughter played this song for "me", at her recital on stage. I was so proud and excited, Believe me. She did an awesome job of playing The music box dancer. I love this song! I will never forget it.
this tune was released in 1974, I have the 45 R.P.M.. single. it did not get any real traction in terms of air play, but it did catch my ear. it was not until it was re-released in 1979 that it took off, FRANK MILLS was ahead of his time when it was originally released!!!!.
@@gregoryclemen1870 Interesting to hear this. I have a 1979 radio station promotion copy 45 single and the publishing date indicates 1974. I wonder if the 1974 release was also on Polydor Records.
@@xr6lad A song by definition has lyrics, Music Box Dancer does not and is therefore a piece of music and NOT a song. I did not use the word "just", that was your word.
I used to listen to this song when i was a young child on a record and just cry and cry and cry . And dance . I called it the happy song . I haven’t heard it since the 80’s . I lost all my family in the last two years . I’ve cried enough . This song made me feel happy again . If just for a fleeting moment . 2:202:21
My mother passed in 2018 at age 82 and she loved all of Frank Mills work, she all the albums...yes the vinyls and she still had a record player to play them on... he will forever remind me of my mother.
I started crying hearing this again. I listened to this over and over back in the 70s. I think it made me cry even back then. So right now, while I'm listening to this for the tenth time in a row, my doorbell rings and I pause it. I let my BF in and said "Hey, listen to this song!" He rolled his eyes and then when the song started he froze with a stare. Tears welled up in his eyes. He was immobile. Some tears streamed down his cheeks. Then he snapped out of it and said "I'm so sad, and I don't know why." How can this little song have such an impact on so many of us? The first time I heard it I stopped what I was doing to listen to it. It was hypnotic. Still is.
I remember listening to this song when I was a toddler with my mother....she passed when I was 12, and it brings back a lot of memories...I love and miss you mom ♥️♥️♥️
This song brings back childhood memories when my Mother would tune in to a radio station in the morning and the announcer used this song as an intro to his program. Thank You Frank for giving us this masterpiece that now brings back a flood of sweet memories as I soon enter my 7th decade of a very BLESSED life.
I’m 58 now. When this came out in the mid 70s I was a young kid who just discovered hard rock music, but this song melted my heart and I never forgot this beautiful song till this day.
This is my favorite song ever. I told my children I want it played at my funeral then I thought better of it. I would probably jump out of my coffin and start dancing because every time I hear it I have to get up and dance. Love it. Thank you Frank Mills
My mom played this for me growing up. She told me that she learned it for her grandpa because he loved this song so much, and she played it at his funeral. I never got to meet my great grandpa but this song reminds me of my family past and it makes me nostalgic :)
I'm from Cape Town, South Africa and this tune is synonymous with the old ice-cream vans that used to do the rounds selling soft-serve. When you heard this sound as a kid you knew it was time for some 'curly cones'. Good times...
This by far my favorite instrumental song, I have loved this song since it was released in 1979. There is something about Music Box Dancer, even on a bad day, I hear this song, it just gives me relaxing comfort.
My dad is a retired physician. I'd visit his office in the early 80s and this would be on in the hallway once in awhile as they had the easy listening channel on.
It's such a happy and cheerful melody. But it brings me to tears everytime I hear it. But a kind of good tears. I don't know why. Maybe because it reminds me of a long gone and better time.
I watch this video whenever I need to relax. I have NEVER seen a performance where the pianist was more chill, relaxed, and truly appearing to enjoy his own performance. Hats off, Frank Mills!
Well I am 88 , I remember living in Kamloops (1978) going to Town with the radio on in the car and here is Music box dancer. Still love it. Love it for ever. ❤️
In Uruguay this song was used as back song in a TV add from a store, Bazar Mitre. Troughout the 80s I grew listening to this beautiful melody and still now I do remember every note of it. Good days.
I was 16 doing part time work at a local radio station and would always play this right before the top of the hour of the hour for news, since retired from radio I just happened to come across this.
This is a song that I had completely forgot existed and the name of it popped up somewhere on another social media. I used to listen to it all the time as a kid, my dad was a pianist and played it flawlessly. Good memories.
1979 …. My first year in high school…. I absolutely loved this. I would listen to a “cassette “ on my Walkman and dance around like a prima ballerina….. beautiful memories of my adolescence.
One of my dad's all-time favorites. Played in his honor. I love you, dad. RIP William L. Martin, 2/24/1938 - 1/13/2023.
This was my dad's favorite song too. I never remember him being much into music
but when he heard this he became obsessed and bought the LP. RIP Dad, miss you.

ゲームセンターで遊んでいました。
曲名も全然わからないまま長ーい
年月過ぎてしまいましたが
再び聴けて幸せです。
ありがとうございました。
My Uncle had this record in his old Whirlitzer jukebox and it sounded so amazing coming out of those 6 speakers.
I remember when this song came out and loved it instantly.I just recently added it as my ring tone ❤
I watch this video whenever I need to relax. I have NEVER seen a performance where the pianist was more chill, relaxed, and truly appearing to enjoy his own performance. Hats off, Frank Mills!
Yes This Was Grandma's Favorite Version. ❤😊
I don't miss much about the '70s, but this track is one of the things I do.
I'm 75 and still adore this beautiful music 🎶 🎵 ❤️
Such a brilliant tune. How can you not be happy listening to this catchy instrumental?
Sin lugar a dudas es las más hermosa y clásica melodía que todos alguna vez escuchamos.
Well I am 88 , I remember living in Kamloops (1978) going to Town with the radio on in the car and here is Music box dancer. Still love it. Love it for ever. ❤️
Tenho 62 anos e amo essa música!!!! Só lembranças inesquecíveis ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Have always loved the brightness and lightness of this song. Makes my heart happy!
Hi, I feel the same way, when I hear that little song, the world isn't so bad anymore.
This takes me back to Tutbury railway station, when Mr Abbiss was station master.
One of many great one-hit wonders of its era.
The memories this song brings back, are priceless.
I can never express what this song means to me.
God Bless
This song was the very first dance recital I danced to at 5 years old. At 43, I listen to this with such fond memories 😊
In Uruguay this song was used as back song in a TV add from a store, Bazar Mitre. Troughout the 80s I grew listening to this beautiful melody and still now I do remember every note of it. Good days.
I was 16 doing part time work at a local radio station and would always play this right before the top of the hour of the hour for news, since retired from radio I just happened to come across this.
You and I are about the same age, then. Spring of '79, right? I would turn 16 in June.
Same age and if I heard this every hour I'd have killed myself before I turned 17.
MARVELOUS, SIMPLY MARVELOUS!
This is a song that I had completely forgot existed and the name of it popped up somewhere on another social media. I used to listen to it all the time as a kid, my dad was a pianist and played it flawlessly. Good memories.
Helluva nice jacket Frank's got there.
Greatest Iconic Song In 45 Years 😎
1979 …. My first year in high school…. I absolutely loved this. I would listen to a “cassette “ on my Walkman and dance around like a prima ballerina….. beautiful memories of my adolescence.
