US Rhythm 'n'
Blues singer born Eva Narcissus Boyd,
June 29,
1943. Little Eva was a babysitter for Carole King and Gerry Goffin
when the songwriting team was inspired to write "The Loco-Motion," a song based
on a dance that Eva would do around the house. Eva also got to sing on their
demo, which impressed Don Kirshner enough to release it as it was. One of the
greatest girl group hits, "The Loco-Motion" hit number one in 1962; the follow-up,
"Keep Your Hands Off My Baby," was also written by Goffin-King. Almost as good
as her debut, it reached the Top 20, and was even covered by the Beatles
on-stage in their early days (though they never recorded it in the studio).
Unfortunately, Eva was then pigeonholed as a dance-craze singer and given
inferior material. She never again reached the soulful heights of her first two
singles; "Let's Turkey Trot" (1963) was her only other Top 20 hit, although she
continued working until October 2001. She succumbed to cervical cancer in April
of 2003.
