Little Eva - Let's Turkey Trot (Shindig 1965)

[baldpipeguy]

The best performance by backup dancers in history.

I like it.

Let's Turkey Trot came out as an A side single after her smash hit The Locomotion and Keep Your Hands Off My Baby. Cute as this record is, it was not as big a hit, but her vocal was as charming as ever. If memory serves, (and it may not, given the passage of years) the B side to "The Locomotion" was "He is the Boy". Dimension Records had it goin' on for awhile, thanks to a certain "King" in the house, who was really a queen of pop genius. (guess who?)

Every Oldies station should play this for Thanksgiving...

Thanks NY Rainbow for this rare clip.

didn't this song come out in 1962? Seems that I remember it on the heels of "the locomotion."

Fabulous, Absolutely great. :-)

Thanks so much much for this. I enjoyed this and the other two performances. But I also enjoyed Bobby Sherman Yeah Yeah to.

Do you have American Bandstand or Ready, Steady, Go?
