It would have seemed like a dream come true, when a young
teenage country girl was drawn to New York landing work as a maid, nanny and
sometime session singer, to suddenly find herself with a worldwide hit record.
It should have changed her life from then on, but such is the fickle nature of
the music business that she never managed to maintain the fruits of her record
sales. Despite many fine single releases and this very fine and well respected
album, she was soon to fall down the snakes as quickly as she had climbed the
ladders. King and Goffin worked for Aldon Music, owned by Don Kirshner, where
they were enjoying hits for the likes of Bobby Vee, The Drifters and Tony
Orlando. Kirshner asked them to write a possible follow-up to Dee Dee Sharp’s
#2 hit Mashed Potato Time, and they quickly came up with The Loco-Motion and
had their live-in nanny Eva sing the demo with Carole herself playing piano and
singing back-ups with her. Kirshner absolutely loved it and decided to keep the
song for his own newly formed Dimension Records. Here for all to enjoy is her
musical legacy in the form of this fine début album.
