Little Eva - The Locomotions

The Locomotions were a group from Copiague, Long Island. This 1963 single was supposed to be an answer song to Little Eva's "Locomotion" as it was popular to make answer records in the early to mid-60's.

Can understand this 'answere' song...Little Eva's Locomotion was even then already a classic. By those brilliant "Brill Building"composers ,Carole King & Gerry Goffin.

Eva Boyd died almost penniless.There's a lesson there, own your own recording rights and try to compose yourself. And for budding new 'Brill Building" composers..check if your babysitter,can sing....

@PMPtrax-

Here's another local (No. Babylon) group. I'm glad to meet you, I'm a Copiague guy too but grew up in No. Babylon, joined the Navy in '61 and settled into Copiague in 73- Been here ever since!

I'm posting another Tunisions song today- Stop by!

Was in the group... remember The Tunisians well! We did a few local shows with them.

Great music, great era-

These guys were out at the same time as Terry and the Tunesions (Tom-Tom) & (The Street)

Those were the days!
