This music by Mrs.Mills brings back memories of a bygone era. I still enjoy this style of music. There were others who belonged to this period to name a few. Russ Conway and Winifred Atwell. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@maureendownall7046 …thanks Maureen - you and me both, this is my era too, you will find lots of Russ and Winnie’s records on my channel. Happy listening.
You Ivoriesman, Sir, are a champion. Love this music so much. The Piano is the best instrument. If I am feeling "down", which is thankfully not often, all I need is Mrs. Mills, Charlie Kunz, Bobby Crush or any of the other Pianists you list in your profile page, and I am back to being HAPPY. Thank you so much for SHARING. TAKE CARE, cheers.
I've copyed. This lp onto cd for many friends. . . . . . Possibly one if her best. . . . . . You can play it over and over again and never get tired of it
Hi Stephen - yes, two settings for 33rpm - one for 12", one for 7" - unusual at the time. The only 7" 33rpm I have is a maxi-single from the 70s by Mungo Jerry. (In The Summertime). Garrard - still the best, 48 years and counting.
Another medley of great tunes from yesteryear played for us by wonderful Mrs Mills. They don't compose, arrange, sing or play them like this anymore. Great melodies are strokes of genius and, like great paintings, if you don't preserve them, you lose them forever. Were it not for the wonder of UA-cam and dedication of Uploaders like Ivoriesman, we who are of an age able to remember the wonderful melodies of yesteryear and know what to look for on UA-cam would have virtually no music at all, as it disappeared from Radio Station airwaves decades ago.
I see good old Mr Kunz's spirit overseeing this one... Great upload Jo. That little coda thing at the end was interesting - it seemed to me (although I may well be mistaken) that it didn't get more "popular / used til after that late 1967 hit about Bobbie & Clyde (Georgie Fame). Maybe she pioneered it a bit...? (Just a random thought!)
wordsmith52 ...ooh don't get all technical on me Steve - I take it by 'coda' you mean 'twiddly bit' at the end...:-) Tell you the truth these bits and pieces have been around for as long as I can remember. I spose it's highly likely that Glad 'invented' her fair share - it would be nice to think so - after all she was known for her 'twiddly bits' (her phrase).
...yes, well said. Glad was always hugely underestimated in my opinion. The type of tunes she played unfairly gave her the 'pub thumper' label by the masses but a closer listen revealed an intricate knowledge of the tunes she was playing with subtle chord formations and her ingenious 'twiddly bits' - a joy to the ear. For me it was almost irrelevant what she was playing - more so how she was playing it.
Henry Nurse Winnie Atwell recorded an LP with Rhapsody in Blue on one side and 7 of his individual tunes on the other. I uploaded 'Let's Call the Whole Thing Off' and 's Wonderful' some time ago.
Love Mrs Mills, god how underrated these players were, this where i started playing, trying to work out what these players were doing, i had a mate who used to play all of these and sounded like the records, god the work he put in, it was a style i learnt to play but never mastered it like he did.

…thanks again Stewart. Great to know there are ‘others’ out there…👍
@@IVORIESMAN 👍
enjoyed very much, always liked Glad.
...glad you enjoyed it Ronald - thanks for listening.
PS. Many thanks for subscribing.
Lovely, as usual,. Thank you Ivoriesman and kind regards from The Netherlands!
Many thanks JW - happy listening..!...:-)
Nice medley from Glad, only 3 tracks on one side of an album now that looks mean, good job this one is 9.25 ;)
ferrarial ...yes, nice to hear a bit more of each song in these selections - and some classic Mills Twiddly Bits.

***** yes I expect it was around already but she seemed to use a lot after the late 60s I think. Moi tecknikal?
Definitely in the CK style - maybe she was doing a "tribute" inwardly.... Lovely sounds -one of her best albums I would think..
Sight & Sounds You may well be right there Steve. Yes definitely one of the better ones - a lot of thought gone into this one.
Happy New Year - Jo!
Sight & Sounds ...and to you Steve...🍺
Nothing like Charlie kunz. Glad had a sound all of her own
She was great,not up herself like Liberace,she played what we all liked,she was not doing it for show,like a gay parade,but from the heart.!

Can you enlist all the other tracks among Among my souvenirs? Next songs follow right? Or how is this with this medley?
…the songs in this medley are listed in the description above.
do you own any of George Gershwin's solo recordings? would be interested to see some
...no sorry Henry, only other people playing Gershwin...
IVORIESMAN ah. well i do love a bit of Gershwin on any form :)

Remy Noel - if you are seeing this I am trying to answer your comment but it has not attached to this page...
J'adore cette musique, ce medley joué avec tant d'émotions et finesse merci pour votre diffusion !

Nicely played, but the tempo needs a kick up the bottom. Way too slow for my taste, and I bet Charlie would have given it a bit more leather!
...if this is how Queen Glad wanted it, then so shall it be...😁
@@IVORIESMAN Great as it is !
