Frank Mills wrote this song for his daughter who was gravely ill to try and cheer her up. It was never meant for public release, it was her song. After hearing it she said no , you have to share this with everyone. And aren't we all very glad that he did. One of the most joyous, most happy songs ever written, because it was written out of true love.

Being together, enjoying good music, was what we did. Thank YOU, Frank Mills for your Music Box Dancer. That's 49 years of being a part of our lives.

Your beautiful reply to this beautiful post featuring such a beautiful song is beautiful. I lost a wonderful, noble, godly, exciting, satisfying, selfless, and beautiful from the neck up, from the neck down, beautiful when she sang, when she spoke, and when she'd joke. I had the best and she left the next Lady some glass slippers of a certain size to try and fill. With my (God's version of) luck, the next Wonder Woman will be much much much more than enough just being her Sweet Self. May you fall in love and awe and satisfaction with yourself, with whole lonesomeness, and (maybe) with God and may you be visited beautifully by your sweet 'one who got away' supernaturally if you're open.

this tune was released in 1974, I have the 45 R.P.M.. single. it did not get any real traction in terms of air play, but it did catch my ear. it was not until it was re-released in 1979 that it took off, FRANK MILLS was ahead of his time when it was originally released!!!!.

I started crying hearing this again. I listened to this over and over back in the 70s. I think it made me cry even back then. So right now, while I'm listening to this for the tenth time in a row, my doorbell rings and I pause it. I let my BF in and said "Hey, listen to this song!" He rolled his eyes and then when the song started he froze with a stare. Tears welled up in his eyes. He was immobile. Some tears streamed down his cheeks. Then he snapped out of it and said "I'm so sad, and I don't know why." How can this little song have such an impact on so many of us? The first time I heard it I stopped what I was doing to listen to it. It was hypnotic. Still is.

Was watching an ASMR video and the person was inside a store and it showed an item that reminded me of those old jewelry boxes with the little ballerina that played music. I had one as a kid. Anyway, this song started playing in my mind all of a sudden, haven’t heard it in years. Funny how the mind works. What a happy memory, though! Very pretty song and I loved it as a kid. ❤️
