I wrote this song and I went over Millie's flat and played it on my guitar and she loved it so much so we decided to record it with part of the Greyhound band in 1986 and it cost me 900Pounds then. She sang her heart out and everybody body say they didn't know she could sing like that. She wanted everything the way it is and that's how I produced it. It could always be better but this is what we have to share with you all. Show some love download the tune and her daughter which is my God daughter will get Millies royalty. Thank you.
Wow I'm curious after hearing her speak she sounds like she has a Jamaican accent is she from Jamaica
Whats the song?
The song in question is “Oh My Suga Plum,” written by Charley E. Cross
@jonahwhale9047 she didn’t take drugs but she’ll smoke a little weed it helps her to meditate.
@@shawbrothersgirl2740 Yes she is from Jamaica
Rest in peace Millie. She was so cute. I loved her spirit and her voice.
😢¡ Epaaaaaaaa!¿ de verás que ya murió ?
She was a great character, kind, honest and genuine
She was down to earth with a good soul, a heart of gold, with a positive mindset R.I.P 🙏🏻🕊️
Yes she was down to earth and she loves people
Perfectly stated.
Her delivery of "My Boy Lollipop" and her exuberant personality assures she will be missed by many. R.I.P. Little Girl. 5/2020
She is missed by many and the song I wrote for her gets 250.000 views on Facebook
Man...
The world has lost a bright and beautiful star, just the loveliest smile and eyes ever. R.I.P. Millie
The world sure lost one of the most amazing star. I am saying this because I knew her more than Chris Blackwell or any of the artists that she recorded with. NO one knows her like me not even here daughter which is my grand daughter, who I had to care of until she was 3 when I leave london for New York
A burst of joy and sunshine, Rest in Peace, Millie.
All Caribbean families in the UK connected to Millie Small My Boy Lollipop. It made them feel still attached to their roots living so far away it made them feel close to their homeland. Every Caribbean was excited it was like recognition a feel of excitement in the household RIP Mille Small I grew up listen to this song🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
As a Jamaican Heritage Family myself she sounds like she is Jamaican is she from Jamaica
Millie made us all proud and happy until some people started sending out false information about her
Didn't know she had came up on hardtimes. I salute her. Rest in peace. I just heard that she died. Again, my condolences to her.
They didn’t pay her for her big hit.....
@@velvet2406 That's very unfortunate.
Thanks for your condolences but Chris Blackwell always kept her money and paid her a salary every month that covers her bills from her royalties
Even then, she beamed happiness as bright as the sun, and her singing voice was still shining too!
Her voice had the perfect pitch that registered with every listener
That is so sad that she ended up homeless after all her hard work!
i love Millie, so cute
Jamaica has lost a sweet piece of its musical history. R.i.p Millie Smalls
Jamaica loose her long time. She didnt live in JA not that i blame her though.

Jamaica lost her 60 years ago.
@@ryanblob3105 exactly that biatch bail as soon as she got a chance and never looked back.
Tinbeef Her family should have never trusted Blackwell to take “Care of her”. She was too young and do any one believe. That this white man had this child interest at heart. Please do not call black woman out of their name. Remember she was a child and you better believe it she was used. Show some respect black people especially children were not wise to the game of life. I am sure it destroyed her. It destroys grown men and women but a child left to the wolves have a heart. Why do you think she became a recluse. RIP. Little Millie 🦋🙏🦋🙏
Rest in peace dear. I can tell you have a beautiful soul, far more beautiful than this Earth deserves.
Brings back memories listening to My Boy Lollipop every morning at the breakfast table before my dad went to work , RIP Millie .
You don't find many famous people with an attitude as good as hers... R.I.P. Millie Small :(
I definitely agreed with you
She is a beautiful and an amazing lady. always have a beautiful smile. Bless
Millie Small is still a pretty lady in this interview but in the 1960's she was absolutely stunning. Its says she was broke and I cant help but think she was an inexperienced girl from Jamaica and she was taken advantage of financially. Millie was very popular in the 60's and 70's and should of made enough money to live a comfortable life.
Love her and her singing 😎
The music Bussiness often uses the best talent to make themselves rich...and they shit on the singers most of the time......karma better get them.....
You'd have thought the Jews who got rich off her song would have let her stay in their spare room. Only kidding, no-one would have thought that.
True jamaican spirit and such a talent
She was certainly what you described.
I dnt see her m*rd3r!ng gay men or robbing ppl..but yh OK lool
Another wall tile has fallen off my wall of life..i havent got many left..r.i.p millie...thanks for the memories
My Boy Lollipop was my favourite song as a child. Millie is an amazing performer, and that soulful voice is unique. I hope she is living a good life.
She had a good life behind the scene and I was there with her from 1973 until she died in 2020
RIP Millie - a beautiful soul.

What a Saint of a woman, able to talk about her worse and toughest times with a smile and still radiate with such spiritual beauty in her face. She was not simply a one hit wonder, she was the Mother to Ska. Her daughter sings too now! Doesn't her acapella version of Sugar Plum on the park bench sound like a lullaby to her daughter (although it is a simple song, the lyrics could be changed make it one)? Rest in Peace Millie Small...
wow bold statement there were other ladys singing the ska,but she was a duet with roy panton and owen gray..she done her best work with roy.. playing to the music shuffle beat pre ska music they done a great version of huneysuckle rose....and the pop ska never suited her..
@@pigmeatishambacon But she told be my song is the best song she ever sings and when we recorded it I had no idea it would be the last song she would ever recorded.
Wish I knew this would be the last song she’s ever gonna sing. But I’m confident the song will still be a hit, she always say that this is her number one song. But unfortunately she is not gonna be here when that happens.
My parents gave me your 45 of "My boy lollipop" when I was a child, played it like crazy! still love that song till this day...
One of thse songs many of us grew up with.
Had the opportunity to have a wonderful chat with her during the filming of the very first Shebang Dance Show (with Casey Kasem) in So. California (1964) . What a sweetheart!!! RIP young lady!!
¡ te agradecería Kesiemm que nos dijera de qué lugar era está artista!
slept in a hostel.."yeah man that was great" hahaha ever the positive person
She had an incredible smile!! Such a high spirited joyful woman.
Hello Anita
How are you doing today?
I love this great woman . Her music will always be in my mind . Thanks millie
Then I’m sure when you listen to her last single Oh Amy Suga Plum you will love it even more
I first heard 'Lollipop' when I was 5 and never stopped dancing to it (which annoyed my parents!) I hadnt heard it for year s then last night Radio 2 played it and brought back happy joy joy moments with MY parents 60 YEARS later I still adore this song. I wish it coul;d get BACK to Number 1 again in tribute to a talented singer and wonderful person. RIP Mille 💔😪😔😥😢😭😭😭
This song was her first monster smash but her last song Oh My Suga Plum will be the song that made her number one.
May her soul rest in peace. Another jamaican'Legendary Icon'is gone,we mourn her lost.Our Sincere Condolence to her Family and Friends🙏💜
Thanks for your condolences she was the best sister a brother could have
When I was 10, I went to the local record store and bought "my boy lollipop", and at that age, I wasn't buying alot of anything other than maybe comic books. Lol

she looked amazing young almost 25 years after her song was recorded.
Wow😥😥☹️😥. I'm so very sad that she passed away. I didn't even know til I saw the comments.
I'm heartbroken 💔😭 RIP Millie.
rest in peace millie 🙏🏾
Such a great woman. such a great music artist.
She is a great woman and a great artist. She cared a lot about people of whom she had so much love for.
Heck out the last song she sang- Oh My Suga Plum
Great, she is so happy person!!!
ITS SAD THAT ARTIST OF BACK THEN'' RECORD LABLES WERE ACTUALLY RIPPING THEM OFF '' THE SAME WITH MUSIC PUBLISHERS ''RIPPING OFF SONG WRITERS '' JUST FOR THE MIGHTY DOLLAR''
Just remember, this ripoff stuff has been going since the 1900's not to be racist, but the JEWS have always run the entertainment industry since the beginning of Audio and Video. They are the greediest people in the world, But they are the best at what they do...Always have, and always will.
Oh yeah not to be racist, says the racist.... Racistly.
Prick.
Rest in peace. You will not be forgotten
Sweet lady, no pretense. A tough cookie. And that singing at the end--touching and lovely. RIP Millie
love you and you be missed thank you for bringing so much in enjoyment to us all with your music
Brings back memories as a kid, when my nan use to play this song, how can u not like it. 😁
The world loved the song and way Millie performed it.
What a beautiful person, so much love to her and her now much older child ...
ONE OF MY MOM's Favourite Singers of all times,we heard she went 'Rock Bottom'at one point but she is indeed in a better place now,and through out her 'Musical Career' she did came out as a 'Super Star' which no one can ever 'Duplicate' rest well 'Angel'🧚♀️
Millie didn’t care much about material things she was as spiritual as the come and remember- Nobody knows her like I do.
@@masscharley1006 Amen thank you
God bless her!!!
she can still sing ,a beautiful voice
MillieS. Always make mai heart go thumpthump.
I luv her singing ☺️
In ka we says it makes my heart goes giddy ap
shes got such a beautiful voice
Positive vibration! RIP.
Great singer , great songs, great spirit; RIP Millie
You are right about everything you’ve mentioned
thank you for My Boy lolipop and Sweet William RIP sweet lady
So very sad. After reading your comments. I had no idea that she passed. My heart goes out to her family and friends. Such a great loss. 😔
She sings I don't hear her accent. But when she talks I do. Great voice
R.i.P may your soul rest in peace
She's enjoyed her moment.
She was a month or two older than me. We were both 16 when she released Lollipop. I remember chuckling at the innuendo at the time.
Beautiful lady always!
Awesome lil interview. I hope she is still smiling ng so & singing! :)
She had a very positive spirit and energy and refused to let her misfortunes to damp her spirit. The Jamaican government should honor her pioneering role as an arts ambassador posthumously. RIP Millie.
Yes I agreed and I’m working on that she must be honored. She was the first Jamaican female artist to hit number two on both the British and American charts in 1964.
Still adorable! And still a very good singer!
Rest in Peace sweet lady
Ain't Millie just the greatest?
She has a great outlook on life and I wish she could make a comeback because she still has a terrific voice and with a personality like hers she would do well if someone just gave her a chance.
Here's hoping Millie baby X.
So lovely
