Subject: RE: One-Hit Wonders, Part Two
Millie Small had a follow-up, but much smaller hit called"Sweet William" which made it to #40--Incidentally, although I had always heard that she was 15 when Lollipop" was a hit, her birthday was 10/6/46, so she was about five months shy of 18 it broke onto the charts at the end of May in '64. Her real name was Millicent Smith, and, for some reason, she was nicknamed "The Blue Beat Girl", which would not have seemed very complimentary where I grew up--
