Little Eva 
Little Eva had a major number 1 hit with "The Locomotion" in 1962. She passed away on April 10, 2003 in North Carolina.
Born Eva Narcissus Boyd, Little Eva stumbled into fame by having the good fortune as a teenager to be a babysitter for Carole King and Gerry Goffin. King asked her to sing a demo of the future hit single, which the husband-wife team were working on while Eva was watching over their daughter. Her next hit came that same year, with "Keep Your Hands Off My Baby," which reached number 12 on the charts. Eva toured on the oldies circuit throughout the late ’90s.
