Music Box Dancer 💃
#FrankMills
Frank Mills followed up with "Peter Piper,” another lively piano piece. It didn't match the heights of its predecessor… but it came close to costing Frank his solo US #OneHitWonder honors! "Peter Piper" topped out at #48 on the US #Hot100, narrowly missing the #Top40. #FrankMills #OneHitWondered
Meanwhile, in Nashville, Bob Parker, TV producer at WNGE-TV, was looking for a lighthearted tune to run over the closing credits of the evening news… He pulled “Music Box Dancer” from the station’s library and began playing it nightly. Listeners started calling… #FrankMills #WNGE-TV #OneHitWondered

Legend says that an Ottawa CFRA-AM music director/radio personality, Dave ‘50,000’ Watts, flipped the disc, and added “Music Box Dancer” to the station’s rotation… The response was instant, and the song became a Canadian phenomenon. #FrankMills #CFRA-AM #Ottawa #Canada #OneHitWondered
In 1974, Frank Mills recorded "Music Box Dancer.” The quaint lil’ piano instrumental sat unnoticed for years… When Mills re-signed with Polydor Records Canada in 1978, the track was dusted off and used as the B-side for the release of the "The Poet and I" single. #FrankMills #OneHitWondered
Despite the success of “Stay Awhile,” Frank Mills bailed out to pursue a solo career… while the hit was still on the charts! He did find some early 🇨🇦 success with the 1971 vocal single "Love Me, Love Me Love," but his biggest moment was still a few years away. #FrankMills #Canada #OneHitWondered
The week ending March 4, 1979, Canadian pianist/songwriter Frank Mills earned solo US #OneHitWonder honors when his light, upbeat piano piece “Music Box Dancer” entered the US #Billboard #Top40 at #40. It spent 12 weeks on the chart, peaking at #3. #FrankMills #Canada #OneHitWondered #MusicSky
