Clipped from the Dead Mule blog:

"Good bye to Little Eva
For those of you old enough to remember everybody's doin' the
loco-motion -- let us all have a moment of silence for Little Eva who
died Thursday after a long illness. Eva Narcissus Boyd, one kid who made
it big out of a family of 15 children, passed from this world leaving
behind a minor musical legacy, The Loco-Motion was #1 in 1962. Carole
King and Gerry Goffin hired Little Eva as a babysitter and discovered
her singing talents. Ain't that sumpin? Apparently, King and Goffin
wrote Loco-Motion just for Little Eva. Imagine that -- one of Belhaven
NC's own, making the big time in the Big Apple.

Everyone, put on your Hyde County Reeboks (don't know what those are?
white plastic crabber boots) and dance down the street to the loco-motion."
