The Dance

Commonwealth Citizens' Association poster (DD/CR/54/4)

This is a poster promoting a dance presented by the Commonwealth Citizens' Association and the Nottingham District Cripples' Guild at the Sherwood Rooms in Nottingham in the 1960s. The headline act at the dance was Millie.

Millie was born Millicent Small in 1946 in Clarendon, Jamaica. She came to England in 1963 having already recorded in her teens in Jamaica. Her fourth recording, 'My Boy Lollipop', reached No 2 in the charts in both the US and the UK in 1964. It has since enjoyed over seven million sales, remaining one of the biggest-selling reggae/ska hits of all time.
