In the 60's, my family, parent's and 4 kids dancing to this in our dining room. Table pushed back. Everybody in socks so we could slide our feet on the wood floors. Memories 😍
I had the opportunity to see Little Eva perform this song live just a few months before she passed away and it was an event that will not be easily forgotten. She was just a small frame of a girl but she was filled with more energy that any performer I have ever seen...
God bless Little Eva. She was singing this song when I was a 12 yr old sittng at a Georgian Bay waterfront arcade one evening, sipping my very first 'grown-up' beverage, a cup of coffee, looking out over the water and lights. It felt magical.
@@JohnKeegTVOfficial yOU dO ReALIzE, dude stfu. You could have just directed him towards that video and made his day better but you decided to be snarky
Carol and Gerry lived across the street from me at 2635 Brown Street in Sheepshead Bay Brooklyn when I was 9 years old. They had a maid or a babysitter. A black young teenager named Eva. Eventually she recorded a song they wrote called 'The Loco Motion'.😊
In 1962 when this song came out, I was an apprentice and I went down to a cafe on the industrial estate where our factory was. As I went into the cafe 'The locomotion' was playing on the jukebox and about 20 young girls in their companies factory jackets were doing the locomotion. Every body was smiling in the cafe, it is such a vivid happy memory that comes to me every time I hear this great old song.
+bracsim Hey grandpa, This is our generation, thanks for the keys. I guess you don't understand Americas history. The good old days when minorities were minorities huh. Yeah i bet you loved those times. Just like 1900 When Descendants of previous settlers hated and banned the immigrants from Europe looking for better lives. Those being, Italian, Russian,Jewish, British, Spanish, Irish, etc. and to think that someone of such age is like you? wow. I guess some people never change.
Little Eva's death. "She continued performing until she was diagnosed with cervical cancer in October 2001. She died on April 10, 2003 in Kinston, North Carolina, at the age of 59,[1] and is buried in a small cemetery in Belhaven, North Carolina." (Wikipedia). Little Eva lived in obscurity much of her life and her death was barely noticed. May she Rest In Peace.
Thanks Steve for the information on Little Eve. As late as time is in 2020 the big names that made the Music Revolution of the 1950 s and 1960s are passing on. I feel bad ever time I read about one of the famous singers and entertainers that father time has taken away.
The sad part is the story behind her grave marker. Turns out for years her grave was unmarked. White wooden cross marks it now with a local Belhaven, NC club making a appropriate maker for her now featuring a train on it with the phrase “She sings with the angels”. She was a maid for Carol King and her husband Gerry Goffin. They wrote the song for her because of a dance she created and showed to their kids while babysitting. And the rest as they say is history.
Over 60 years later and it still resonates Big Time - Goffin & King compositions captured the magic of the times. Little Eva introducing a new dance craze is an iconic symbol of those very special 60’s.
I was standing on a balcony over the gym floor while the sock hop was going on. This song was playing and a pretty girl I barely knew was dancing to it. I was 16. That girl and I have now been married for 52 years.
I love this song! When I was eight years old my dance class had a recital using this as the backing track. It was the most fun I'd ever had. According to my mother I was the only kid who not only remembered the dance, but freestyled it! Apparently when my coach confronted me about changing the moves I said, "Don't blame me, blame the locomotion!" The two of us still laugh about it to this day. I kind of wish I'd stayed in tap dancing! Music is so powerful, how can anyone stand still hearing it?
What s cute story, I van picture it and you. If you can, please describe the steps to the locomotion as I don't remember seeing specific moves. When it first came out I just made steps up. I know arms would move with elbows in small wheels turning motion, but what should legs do? Lol.
Occasionally, we used to get to dance in gym class. When this song played, we all got up and danced the locomotion all around the gym. The sixties were fun!
That song was composed and written by Carol King and Gerry Goffin. At that time this little black teenage was working for them as a maid and babysiter. A studio wanted to record a demo of the song but without a signer, at the last minute the couple decided to ask Little Eva to come at the studio to record the song. She did it so well that it was decided that she will do the final recording. The rest is history.
The story behind this song is as good as the song itself. Little Eva was baby sitting for Carole King and Gerry Goffin - they thought her dance moves were cool, and they wrote "Loco-Motion" (originally for another vocalist). Apparently Don Kirschner heard Eva's demo, they changed singers - and the rest is history. It's the type of story that's hard to believe, but apparently this one is true. Being at the right place at the right time is often as important as talent, but having both is pure gold.
Never forget Little Eva, always one of the best. Bet you all can't count on one hand how many female singers today can hold a candle to the female singers in the 60's, can you ? ? ?
Una joya de una epoca maravillosa, la coreografía, los coros, todo muy bien hecho, y una de las mejores canciones de todos los tiempos ¡Que mas se puede pedir!
THIS is THE classic icon of Rock and Roll - and it's Little Eva's song. Something about it has it coming back either every or every other generation. Timeless. Three thousand years from now - people will still be listening and dancing to it. Little Eva - Rest in Peace - and someday sometime make another classic. Know you're singing it and the angels upstairs are dancing to it. Gives me tears.
John, you won't see that again in our lifetime. I love the Black female singers and groups of the sixties. The sixties and seventies were probably the greatest two decades of all time. If you lived it...you know what I mean.
As far as I"m concerned the most overrated girl group of the time was The Supremes. They just didn't have what the groups you mentioned had: real soul.
@@Eyes-of-Horus Yes Alex that was also my thoughts at the time & never bought a track by them. Moving on all these great tracks listed (well quite a few) had rythem and sadly not heard nowadays.
Playing Little Eva in my Production of "Beautiful" and it didn't dawn on me that Little Eva was a REAL artist who was Carol King's ACTUAL babysitter until the line dropped on opening night and the audience LOST it! It was an amazing experience ❤❤
Memories !....It was June 1962 , I was 15 and our family moved from Central Ill to San Diego Calif...I used to take the bus downtown to the foot of Broadway , walk past two piers and go to the USN : "Fleet Dock". and watch the sailors come into the dock off their ships on small open craft. Loved the sound of these naval small craft used to transport sailors.Little Eva would be singing this song all over the loudspeakers which were mounted all over the Dock. Great memories.RIP Eva !
UA-cam, though wonderful, is only a portal for recordings that were made by others in the past. There were films from the past a century before UA-cam was invented (about 80 years with sound). Nobody making a movie was so shallow as to say "I have created a time machine"
I was a little kid when this was recorded. But I have loved it since the 1st time I heard it. Carole King was so talented. She wrote this & her babysitter (Little Eva) recorded it. Wow!!
Let us fold hands, this artist do passing away and do leaving behind a wonerfully heritage of songs. locomotion is one of the all century songs. Unforgettable Little Eva. Good job and enjoy heaven.
Lyrcs: Everybody's doin' a brand new dance now (Come on baby do the locomotion) I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now (Come on baby do the locomotion) My little baby sister can do it with ease It's easier than learning your A B C's So come on, come on, do the locomotion with me You gotta swing your hips now Come on baby, jump up, jump back Well, I think you got the knack, ohh Now that you can do it, let's make a chain now (Come on baby do the locomotion) Chug-a chug-a motion like a railway train now (Come on baby do the locomotion) Do it nice and easy now don't lose control A little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul So come on, come on, do the locomotion with me Come on, do the locomotion Come on, do the locomotion Come on, do the locomotion Come on, come on, come on, come on Move around the floor in a locomotion (Come on baby do the locomotion) Do it holding hands if you got the notion (Come on baby do the loco-motion) There's never been a dance that's so easy to do It even makes you happy when you're feeling blue So come on, come on, do the locomotion with me You gotta swing your hips now Come on baby, jump up, jump back Well, I think you got the knack, ohh Do the loc, do the loc, do the loco locomotion (Come on do the locomotion) Do the loc, do the loc, do the loco locomotion (Come on, do the locomotion) Come on baby All that you can do is come on baby Come on, come on, come on, come on... Come on!
I was 16 years old when I first heard this song 🎵. I learned how to do the locamotion by listening to the song. R I P Little Eva 😢 I miss you very much 💔. This song makes me sad 😥 😢 😞 😔.
I remember roller skating to Little Eva's Loco-motion and the Archies Sugar Sugar, as a young boy in the early 70's at an elementary school gym. I was probably around 10yrs old at the time.
Even though i wasn’t born in the 60s, i do love 60s songs! And when i hear this song, I picture a cafe/bar with men and women dancing and doing the locomotion!! The men are all in lovely suits, and the girls in bright dresses!! They are all happy and smiling!!! Sometimes music does magical and wonderful things! People definitely need that, specially in this cruel time, i hope everyone is doing well xx
As a 90's kid, I miss so much hearing the "oldies" on the radio. They played them all the time. It was so great. Slowly in the 2000's they faded out of existence. Songs like this one, Pretty Woman, Earth Angel, Mr Sandman, Lolipop, etc.
I had Sirus for a wily they had 40's 50 's 60 's 70 'and soon ,it was a great chance to hear all the old's like my self ,with all my respect peace out .
we did this dance at a wedding reception over the weekend.. I never heard of Little Eva until then, but i can see why people back then knew how to have fun..
As a white kid growing up in a small, Pacific NW logging town, I was so in love with the R&B female singers of that era. Little Eva. Betty Everett. Ronnie Spector. The Supremes. and so on "Now THESE are women!", I thought to my 13 year old self. (at age 70, I'd still run away with Dianna Ross, should she ask!).
Talk about a song with legs ... that song is just as fun now as it was the day it was recorded. A birthday party staple. It's one of those few songs that you'll see a 90 year old great grandmother dancing with her 8 year old great granddaughter with and all ages between. 60 years on.

この曲は私が幼い頃母が自動車学校に通っていた時に預けられた自動車学校内の幼児施設で聞いた曲。離れ離れでずっと泣いていた時に陽気に流れていて当時はムカついたが今では良い思い出です。

I was 14 years old and heard thart song when we use to hang out at the A&W Drive In having a Root Beer. Best times of my life the 60's.
My first date was at an A&W Drive In
In a frosty mug! And a Teen Burger!
When I was young, I couldn't get enough of those frosty mug Root Beer from A&W Drive in.
When we get to time travel in the quantum realm, the 60's will be CROWDED !
Tear in my eye shiver down my spine this song will live on till the end of time. Childhood banger
Amazing voice, still sounds good almost 60 yrs (yes, 60 next year) later!
I was there with you!!
We used to dance to the locomotion. A lovely song by Little Eva takes me back to the wonderful sixties. I never tire of listening to it.
The 80s incarnation is not so bad.

We got to dance now to keep ourselves healthy.
have you stopped dancing yet
what a fab classic this superb song is it gives a special feeling to all would be dancers ...xx
The song was written by husband and wife duo Carole King and Gerry Goffin. Little Eva babysat their kids.
And i bet you, they came across the lyrics while trying to entertain the kids.
She was only 15 when this song hit the charts. classy !
Hazel Grey actually Carol King walked in after a night out and Little Eva was singing it as made the bed.

(Come on baby do the locomotion)
I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now
(Come on baby do the locomotion)
My little baby sister can do it with ease
It's easier than learning your A B C's
So come on, come on, do the locomotion with me
You gotta swing your hips now
Come on baby, jump up, jump back
Well, I think you got the knack, ohh
Now that you can do it, let's make a chain now
(Come on baby do the locomotion)
Chug-a chug-a motion like a railway train now
(Come on baby do the locomotion)
Do it nice and easy now don't lose control
A little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul
So come on, come on, do the locomotion with me
Come on, do the locomotion
Come on, do the locomotion
Come on, do the locomotion
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Move around the floor in a locomotion
(Come on baby do the locomotion)
Do it holding hands if you got the notion
(Come on baby do the loco-motion)
There's never been a dance that's so easy to do
It even makes you happy when you're feeling blue
So come on, come on, do the locomotion with me
You gotta swing your hips now
Come on baby, jump up, jump back
Well, I think you got the knack, ohh
Do the loc, do the loc, do the loco locomotion
(Come on do the locomotion)
Do the loc, do the loc, do the loco locomotion
(Come on, do the locomotion)
Come on baby
All that you can do is come on baby
Come on, come on, come on, come on...
Come on!

The opening choreography with the guys and dolls makes it look like a metaphor. Clean and fantastic.
Sure looks like Jr. High exercise class .... ??
It's vertical sex.
Encore une chanson qui après 62 ans , restera à jamais gravée dans nos mémoires !
Even though i wasn’t born in the 60s, i do love 60s songs! And when i hear this song, I picture a cafe/bar with men and women dancing and doing the locomotion!! The men are all in lovely suits, and the girls in bright dresses!! They are all happy and smiling!!! Sometimes music does magical and wonderful things! People definitely need that, specially in this cruel time, i hope everyone is doing well xx
Still love this song.😍😍
As a 90's kid, I miss so much hearing the "oldies" on the radio. They played them all the time. It was so great. Slowly in the 2000's they faded out of existence. Songs like this one, Pretty Woman, Earth Angel, Mr Sandman, Lolipop, etc.
I had Sirus for a wily they had 40's 50 's 60 's 70 'and soon ,it was a great chance to hear all the old's like my self ,with all my respect peace out .
listen to GOLD RADIO - a UK radio station - available on line and in DAB in the car!
Сохраните эти шедевры!!! Это бальзам для сердца и души!✌️✌️✌️🎉🎉🎉

Remember as if it were yesterday. Fond Memories!
Is there anyone that hasn't heard this song? CLASSIC FOR ALLTIME
Unforgetable melody,those were the days.Thank you very mucho.
we did this dance at a wedding reception over the weekend.. I never heard of Little Eva until then, but i can see why people back then knew how to have fun..
The pride and joy of North Carolina Little Eva
Grand bravo pour cette belle chanson...
Masterpiece never gets old.
As a white kid growing up in a small, Pacific NW logging town, I was so in love with the R&B female singers of that era. Little Eva. Betty Everett. Ronnie Spector. The Supremes. and so on "Now THESE are women!", I thought to my 13 year old self. (at age 70, I'd still run away with Dianna Ross, should she ask!).
gross
War verliebt in das Lied
Bekam die Single von meinem 2. Freund❤
As popular today as it was back then, the fondness of memories this great old tune holds for countless old movers and grovers
No matter how much I wish these times will never come back...honestly, it makes me feel dead on the inside.
Love that music...Great songs ...nice memories!!!
Little Eva in 1962 ...so fortunate that this video is available. What wonderful talent! I hope someone produces a movie about her life.
Talk about a song with legs ... that song is just as fun now as it was the day it was recorded. A birthday party staple. It's one of those few songs that you'll see a 90 year old great grandmother dancing with her 8 year old great granddaughter with and all ages between. 60 years on.
A little bit of rhythm, and a lot of soul. ✔️
I can't vote, but that cup of hot coffee is doing me wonders with this song. Wishing you all those beautiful blue skies and golden sunshine! :D
Today he say that!!!
Same!
Have a GOOD day!
Wishing you the same ! ♥ fingers-crossed for the elections, from France
same here! May our David have the blessed of days!
What a great song. I was only 9yo when this came out. Loved it then AND still do.
I bopper to this in y local dance hall happy memories of 60 years ago
Brings tears to my eyes . Where did the years go . thanks Eva .
This is one of the great songs that defined the era. Great song that makes you want to do the locomotion. I feel happy when i here this.
Meravigliosa canzone degli anni più belli!
How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore and how is the weather over ther
A legend that left 20 years ago but she will not be forgotten
Tbh I'm sad she's almost forgotten..
She was one of the GREATEST singers of all time
