Anyone remember The Music Box Dancer?

The Tabitha Wang article I mentioned in my previous post was actually

about reminiscing about the music of the eighties. Reading the article

reminds me of a couple of tunes by a Canadian pianist by the name of

Frank Mills which was also from the early 80's. At that time, Frank

Mills' Music Box Dancer was a big hit in the Singapore pop charts. I

believe not till Richard Clayderman came along had piano tunes been so

popular as pop hits.

For the younger ones who do not know Frank Mills and are curious to

know what the song sounds like, here's the link that I found on

YouTube.

Somebody actually made this interesting comment about this song:

"As an infant, my parents say this is the only song I'd fall asleep

to. They held me up a stereo speaker while it played on the radio,

and, like magic, I was out like a light."

But, my favourite tune from that album by Frank Mills was not Music

Box Dancer but a rather solemn tune called The Poet and I. I was

trying hard to remember what the tune was like and searched for it on

YouTube. Unfortunately, I could not find a piano version but only able

to find this a guitar rendition by a Korean gentleman. You can listen

to it here. Hope you like it.

There's a third song from Frank Mills' album which I also liked. It

was called From a Sidewalk Caf�. To hear the tunes of these three

songs that I recommended, or rather segments of them, you can go to

this music store:

I think even the present generation will like Frank Mills' music

because this genre of music is quite timeless.
