The Loco-Motion
From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Song
Eva Boyd was the babysitter of Carole King and Gerry Goffin. Because she could sing well, she recorded the demo of The Loco-Motion, the trial recording with which writers tried to sell a song to an artist. That demo sounded so good that it was released as a single, under the name Little Eva. On 25 August 1962 the song was at the top of the American chart. Writing and release lay very close together.
