THE MILLS BROTHERS Paper Doll

"Paper Doll" was a hit song for The Mills Brothers . In the United States it held the number-one position on the Billboard Singles Chart  for twelve weeks , from November 6, 1943, to January 22, 1944. The success of the song represented something of a revival for the group, after a few years of declining sales. It is one of the fewer than forty all-time singles to have sold 10 Million  (or more) physical copies worldwide.

Harry Mills recalled that he and his brother Herbert did not initially like the song, although their brother Donald did. However, Harry said, "as we went along rehearsing it, we got to feeling it".

The song has been named one of the Songs of the Century  and has been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame . Many artists have recorded it, including Bing Crosby  for his album Songs I Wish I Had Sung the First Time Around  (1956) , Frank Sinatra for the album Come Swing With Me! (1961) and Pat Boone  for his album I'll See You in My Dreams (1962).
