In Britain, Little Eva's record swept aside a feeble cover version by the Vernons Girls, and only the Tornadoes' Telstar kept it from number one. In 1963, she made the first of several tours of Britain. The only existing footage of Little Eva performing "Loco-Motion" is a small clip from the ABC 1960s live show Shindig! wherein she sang a short version of the clip along with the famous dance steps. She also sang "Let's Turkey Trot" and the Exciters' song " I Want You to Be My Boy" in the same episode. This TV show was one of Boyd's final performances until 1988, when she began performing in concerts with Bobby Vee and other singers. In a 1991 Richard Nader concert, she performed "Loco-Motion" and "Keep Your Hands Off My Baby". The concert was partially documented on videotape, albeit of marginal quality. Wilson, Edmund (1962).

The song is an enduring example of the dance-song genre; much of the lyric is devoted to a description of the dance itself, usually performed as a type of line dance.

However, as King said in an interview with NPR and in her "One to One" concert video, they knew she could sing when they met her, and it would be just a matter of time before they would have her record songs they wrote, the most successful being "The Loco-Motion." Little Eve lives with Uncle and her 'family' on the grey Isle of Altnaharra, off the Coast of Scotland. Eve loves it there. It is all she knows save for the memories of a woman singing. She and her 'sister' Dinah are close, and Eve hopes one day to inherit Uncle's power. Dinah hopes for something else.Watson, Charles S. (November 1976). "Simms's Review of Uncle Tom's Cabin".

Her novels are all survival stories, drawing on the conventions of gothic (fractured narratives, nonlinear chronologies) to reflect the intrusive memories and jagged experiences of PTSD. But horror more widely can also be “very camp, in the Susan Sontag way”, with tropes deployed to a knowing audience. “People know what it means when the reception dies on the cellphone, it’s a familiar pathway. I always do try to subvert, not diminish, expectations. Suspense and horror readers really enjoy that reciprocity between the reader and author – you’re playing an elegant game of tennis. Each of you knows what the signifier denotes.” Roberts, David (2006). British Hit Singles & Albums (19thed.). London: Guinness World Records Limited. p.324. ISBN 1-904994-10-5. A wonderful literary gothic tale." - Sarah Pinborough, New York Times bestselling author of Behind Her Eyes

Music producer Don Kirshner of Dimension Records was impressed by the song and Boyd's voice and had it released. The song reached #1 in the United States in 1962. It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. After the success of "The Loco-Motion," Boyd was stereotyped as a dance-craze singer and was given limited material. Haunting, stunning, Little Eve offers a grand tension to shatter the world. Ward is consistently brilliant, and her deft hand once more guides us into humanity's deepest shadows.

[65] While Stowe weaves other subthemes throughout her text, such as the moral authority of motherhood and the power of Christian love, [4] she emphasizes the connections between these and the horrors of slavery. Stowe sometimes changed the story's voice so she could give a " homily" on the destructive nature of slavery [66] (such as when a white woman on the steamboat carrying Tom further south states, "The most dreadful part of slavery, to my mind, is its outrages of feelings and affections—the separating of families, for example."). [67] One way Stowe showed the evil of slavery [49] was how this "peculiar institution" forcibly separated families from each other. [68] "The fugitives are safe in a free land."
