"The singer MILLIE SMALL has died on May 5th at the age of 73. Best known for her 1964 recording of "My Boy Lollipop" - which peaked at UK #2 in May of that year, & remains one of the biggest-selling ska songs of all time."
What I find sad about Millie Small is her ending. Broke and destitute and living in a hostel with a child. Where did all her money go? Was she not counselled? Where was the mentor?
This is the video and song that introduced me to the band. After this I got curious, bought an album, and became a life long fan. That was in the late 80s.
DO NOT MESS WITH A CLASSIC. Unless you're Bad Manners. Then you can do whatever you want, and come out on the other side safely. Great version. Thank you for posting.

Love seeing Bad Manners sing this live. The whole arena bounces.
Thumbs up if you're still riding the wave.
Busta is hilarious, we get nothing like this anymore, total party music
