- This song was originally an R&B hit in late 1956 for a white American singer named Barbie Gaye - her version is based on a piano rhythm and has a big saxophone solo. Millie Small's rendition has more of a reggae feel and features a harmonica solo.
The original is titled "My Boy Lollypop," making it more obvious that she is singing about a guy, not a piece of candy.
This is one of the best-selling hits with a reggae influence, and depending on your definition of ska, could be considered the first hit in that genre. Ska developed in Jamaica as a hybrid of American R&B and Caribbean music, and Small's producer Chris Blackwell helped bring the sound to England and America with his Island label.

One of the best ska songs... great job Lady Rose ..
Well, it became a ska song when Millie covered it but it wasn't originally.
Thank you very much 🌹😊

The Millie Small version is also a cover.
Correct, it was Barbie Gaye in the 50s 👍✔ Unfortunately, I've got no prizes to give out, but you've won the prestigious award of Top fact of the day, as not many people know this! We often find out at gigs, a lot of people don't realise the vast majority of Ska and Reggae songs are covers... I don't dare bring up UB40, they'd be gutted 😅
Another great cover!!!!!
Millie's version version is also a cover.
Not bad, RIP Millie Small!
Great version but with the greatest respect it lacks the raw sound of Millie Smalls version too over produced but credit where it's due this version is good 👍
Not sure what you mean by over produced, But thats a live take, with original vocals no editing?
Not bad but only one Millie small !!!!!!!!!!!
Knew that 🤣 of course.....!
