Gladys Mills - one time
superintendent of the typing department at the Paymaster General's Office in
London - turned professional pianist in 1962 at the age of forty, and has since
become a household favourite. Mrs. Mills has been playing the piano for most of
her life. She began at the age of three but lessons ended for her when she was
twelve years old. She was fourteen when she entered her first talent contest,
and needless to say she won it. As a member of an amateur concert party Mrs.
Mills travelled many hundreds of miles during the last war entertaining the
troops, visiting camps, gun-sites and military hospitals throughout England.
It was at a golf club social evening that club member Paul Cave heard band
pianist Mrs. Mills and gave her a phone number to ring. This she did and found
herself booked to appear on Billy Cotton's television show and to make her first
record. Since that time Mrs. Mills has made countless records and her popularity
has risen over the years Hear her now on this record as she plays twelve bright
and breezy tunes including Second-hand Rose, I'm Nobody's Baby, Candy Floss and
Oh Johnny! Oh Johnny! Oh!, together with many more, a tremendous selection of
popular melodies with that extra touch that only Mrs. Mills can add, so why not
sit back and listen to the cheerful sound of Your One and Only Mrs. Mills.
