The very first song i remember hearing was - My boy lollipop by Millie Small. (1964) I must have been about 3 or 4.
I fell in love with little Millie and this song and i would imagine she was singing about me.
Its a great song really joyous and happy with a great reggae beat.
It wasn't until a couple of years ago that i actually got to see what Millie looked like when i looked her up on you tube.
Shes as cute as a button, even as a kid i had good taste in women, lol -

Apparently it was the very first international ska hit, good taste in music too!
I think the first place i heard it was at a cafe down the road from our flat.
I used to escape quite regularly by climbing on a chair undoing the latch and the toddling off down the road, most of the time i would end up at the cafe listening to the juke box, it was great fun.
My poor mum would be frantically searching the neighborhood for me.
