Little Eva

12153 fans

At the age of seventeen, she was babysitting for songwriters Carole King and Gerry Goffin, who got her to record one of their songs... Shortly afterwards, The Loco-Motion (covered in France by Sylvie Vartan) hit No. 1 in the American charts and quickly became an international hit. Little Eva went on to record two minor hits with her group the Cookies, before enjoying a less than stellar career.
