An anthology of ska singer Millie Small's career is in the works, according to the Trojan Records website. The set will feature her recordings with Island/Fontana Records, Decca and Trojan.

Its highlight is expected to be the 1964 international hit, My Boy Lollipop, and the follow-ups Sweet William and Oh Henry which were distributed by Island/Fontana Records. The Millie Small anthology would coincide with the ongoing Island Records 50th anniversary celebrations.

The Clarendon-born Small scored big with My Boy Lollipop, 45 years ago. It was a major hit in the United Kingdom at the time of massive Caribbean migration to that country. The song, a cover of an obscure boogie woogie song by American Barbie Gay, also entered the US pop charts.

Small's career waned after the ska craze and she has rarely made public appearances.
