November 29, 2021 Records of the Day

Being in the right place at the right time paid off big time for Eva Boyd. She was babysitting for song-writers Carole King and Gerry Goffin when they asked her to sing a song they had just written called “Loco-Motion.” The single chugged all the way to # 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1962. A copy of the 45 is worth up to $30.00 while the “LLLLLoco-Motion” album by Little Eva, released on Dimension Records in 1962, can fetch $350.00 today.
