Goffin and King had offered the song to Dee Dee Sharp, who was one of the big stars of the day,but she turned it down,Eva Boyd recorded the studio demo, which impressed the producer Don Kirshner so much, that the song was offered to her.As Little Eva she would go on to chart with four singles on the Billboard, and UK charts, between 1962-1963.
The Loco-Motion has been a hit in three separate decades in America,Little Eva took her version to Number 1 in 1962, the Rock group Grand Funk Railroad also hit Number 1 with the song in 1974,and in 1988, Kylie Minogue reached Number 3,her highest ever placing on the Billboard chart.
‘There’s never been a dance that’s so easy to do,it even makes you happy when you’re feeling blue.’
