I told you this month was gonna be huge.
I bet you didn't know this song was Canadian. But yes, it is.
This Montreal pianist had a #3 hit in the US in 1979 with his instumental classic. And it came with a very clear mistake - a few notes are missing in that third repeated introduction. However, Mills could not afford to rerecord it, so the mistake stayed.
By the way, he recorded it in 1974. It took that long to get it released.
The song is recorded in C# Major so it would sound like a music box - specifically, his daughter's broken music box.
Oh yes, Frank Mills is still with us and still performs this song. It still sounds like it always did.
