Loco-Motion singer dies


The singer Little Eva, best known for recording The Loco-Motion as a teenager in the 1960s, has died of cancer aged 59.

She was working as a babysitter for songwriters Carole King and Gerry Goffin in 1962 when they asked her to record a song they had written called The Loco-Motion.

The song became a hit for Little Eva that year and again for Grand Funk Railroad in 1974.
