The Loco-Motion was written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King. Originally intended for Dee Dee Sharp, who turned it down, it became a #1 hit for Little Eva (who had been Goffin and King's babysitter). Uniquely, The Loco-Motion was a top five hit for three different artists in three successive decades: Little Eva, Grand Funk, and Kylie Minogue. Then be sure to watch the last clip.
Little Eva (1962)
Grand Funk Railroad (1974)
Kylie Minogue (1988)
Bonus: Carole King and Slash (1993)
