Here's the best page on the Mellotron I've ever seen.
Few popular songs were made without it in the 60s and 70s. It was especially important to the Moody Blues, Beatles and others. It's making a comeback.

The uniqueness of its sound has still not been duplicated by digital synths. It was very limited but had amazing audio quality for its time.
