    When I was a little girl I heard the Mills Brothers sing at Lake Club in Springfield Illinois. When they sang Daddy’s Little Girl they won my heart forever. Now as an elderly woman, I still listen to them on CDs and UTube. My favorites now are Basin Street Blues and Up the Lazy River sung with the Boston Pops. They were marvelous. May God bless their offspring, their music and their sweet souls. Such a gift that they have left us. ❤.

    Donald still has a beautiful voice, but it’s kind of sad watching him alone knowing his brothers all passed away. But also awesome that he would sing with his son.

    We had the joy of hearing and watching Donald with his son John. It was incredible! They were perfection in voice and performance. John’ s respect and devotion to his father was very evident. We will miss these performances forever! John is truly caring on The Mills Brothers. They have a CD together that is wonderful!,,

    @speakertreatz Před 6 lety +37

    I'm guessing Donald was around 80 here, its incredible how well he could still sing, the high notes may not ring as pure but he puts singers of ANY era to shame, it's hard to think of any singer of the post rock n roll era who can still sing as well as Donald could here. Especially seeing as he must have been fairly over singing Paper Doll after 50 full years

    Awww yes, my friends and extended family. The true highlight on my younger years was going to SF to watch Harry,Herb and Don do these great great songs. I remember sitting with the drummer back then, he's the reason I play today and the Mills Brothers are why I sing...I miss them very much John but they're songs are never far from my heart and mind. It's great seeing you continue this great tradition and doing it with as much class and talent as you're father and uncles. Regards B.Wilson.

      That's Donald, the youngest of the original four. Their history is amazing! And you're correct about their harmony. It's the sibling blend--but very few sets of siblings come anywhere close. They set a standard that still holds, even now.

    The kid is darned good playing the part of Harry Mills!!! He actually has a much "cleaner" voice, I'd say almost perfect pitch. I'm glad he was able to succeed in doing his own style within the "Mills Bros." context. But you mean to tell me there's no other children or grandchildren or great-grandchildren now of the Mills Bros. who could make it into a trio or preferable a quartet? :)

    • @Wondah007
      @Wondah007 Před 5 lety +1

      M. M. Yes. This young man is one of Donald’s son, John Mills. He joined his father shortly after Herbert retired and Harry died in the early 1980s.

    • @bblaylk
      @bblaylk Před 2 lety

      I think--I am not certain--that Donald is singing Harry's part and John is singing lead, which Donald did with his brothers. All four brothers had to learn all four parts in case somebody couldn't perform. But the Mills voices are unmistakable, and they blend perfectly, here and as always. Whoever sings what, it is much harder to do than the Mills family always made it look and sound. Just exceptional!
