Little Eva

Little Eva
▪ 2004
Eva Narcissus Boyd 
      American pop singer (b. June 29, 1943, Belhaven, N.C.—d. April 10, 2003, Kinston, N.C.), achieved timeless popularity in 1962 with her recording of “The Loco-Motion.” Little Eva, who was working as a babysitter for the songwriting duo Carole King and Gerry Goffin, made a demonstration recording of the dance-novelty song which they had written for another singer. The songwriters and their producers were so taken with Little Eva's version, however, that they decided to let her record it. After she demonstrated the dance steps on the television show American Bandstand, the song went to number one. She recorded a few other songs, but none approached the popularity of “The Loco-Motion,” which retained its popularity for decades. In the 1990s Little Eva began touring on the “oldies” circuit.
