THE #1 SONG 50 YEARS AGO TODAY WAS....

The Loco-Motion by Little Eva. This song will never go away. So catchy. Of course if Little Eva was around today she'd be Lil' Eva and there would be a rap verse tagged on in the middle of this song, but I digress. Written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin, the song hit #1 on August 25, 1962 and stayed for one week. Most people born after the 60s know this song because of the 1988 cover that was the first international hit by Kylie Minogue and launched her career. Little Eva did it first! Here she is performing the song on Shindig. Enjoy!
