"Music Box Dancer is a piano tune famous around the world, written and recorded in the 1970s by Montreal-born musician composer Frank Mills. Mills, who appeared in North Battleford at the Dekker Centre, told his audience Music Box Dancer isn't even his favourite song, nor did he expect it to become so famous. In fact, it was on the B side of a record accidentally delivered to a rock station and, when it hit the air, was an instant smash.  Mills, who was a struggling musician in the business for only a few months, was astounded at its popularity – and happy with the money it brought him so he could carry on his career... He laughed with the audience as he told a story about being stuck in a traffic jam on his way to his debut concert, at which he was nervously expecting up to 500 people. The traffic jam turned out to be the result of a whopping 5,000 people wanting to see him perform Music Box Dancer." - Jayne Foster, SaskToday
