To help sell her songs, she began low cost demos to demonstrate her ideas to the producers . These demos were so good that often the producer only had to copy them with the proper instrumentation to have a hit record..." >>> presented by History of Rock |

King and Goffin asked her to record a song they had written called "The Loco-Motion." With the Cookies as back up singers, plus the powerful voice of the newly named Little Eva , "The Loco-Motion" went to #1 on both the pop and R&B charts in 1962." >>>presented by History of Rock |

She and Goffin, who eventually married, began writing under publishers Don Kirshner and Al Nevins in the famed pop songwriting house the Brill Building, where they worked alongside the likes of Doc Pomus, Mort Shuman, Jeff Barry, Ellie Greenwich and countless others.
