About Music Box Dancer
Frank Mills was born in Canada
in 1942 and Music Box Dancer is by far his best known instrumental
hit.
I met his career manager Bruce Davidsen a few
years ago. He toured with Frank Mills and
had many great stories to share.
One such story, as Bruce tells it, he was with
Frank Mills on tour in Japan where Frank
had enjoyed great popularity. There happened to be a music
critic at the concert who cornered Bruce to advise him that
the review wasn't going to be great. She was highly critical
of Frank's playing ability to which Bruce basically responded
in a very unkind way.
Bruce was very proud of the fact that the Music
Box Dancer Sheet Music became the #1 selling piano
sheet music of the time and reached #3 on the USA top-40 charts
in 1979.
The last rumour I heard was that Frank
Mills was living in Barbados where he continues to
live off the fruits of his notoriety. I'm not sure this is
true but it's what I heard.
One thing is for certain. Music Box
Dancer will continue to be played for generations
to come by aspiring pianists. It's one of those pieces that's
is instantaneously infectious due to it's catchy melody and
rhythm.
My jazz ensemble thought I was joking when I
said I was going to play it at one of our concerts. The attitude
was; it's a child's tune and beneath our ability. However,
we played it, all be it quite differently than Frank
Mills, and it turned out to be the greatest memory
for most people at that concert. Click here to download the
video! You'll notice that they didn't mind playing it at all
in the end.
So, here's to Frank Mills for
writing a great tune. I wish him all the best, wherever he
is.
Musically yours,
Paul Tobey
