Jamaican singer Millie Small is dead at age 73, according to Island Records founder Chris Blackwell.
Blackwell, who originally produced Small’s 1964 smash hit My Boy Lollipop, told the Jamaica Observer that Small died in Britain from a stroke on Tuesday. The song sold more than six million copies, peaking at No. 2 in the U.S. and UK, and remains one of the best-selling ska songs of all time.
