Boyd was born in Belhaven, North Carolina in 1943 and had twelve siblings. At the age of fifteen, she moved to the Brighton Beach section of Brooklyn, New York. [1] [2] As a teenager, Boyd worked as a maid and earned extra money as a babysitter for songwriters Carole King and Gerry Goffin. [2] Mauro, John (2022-11-07). "REVIEW: Little Eve by Catriona Ward".

The Loco-motion also found swift popularity abroad. 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. Legend has it variously that King and Goffin discovered Eva's talent when they heard her singing around the house, or when her informal dancing inspired the duo to compose the Loco-motion. King's more prosaic version was that she was already aware of her maid's vocal abilities when she hired her. Hallberg, Eric; Henningsson, Ulf (1998).

Near the end of 1988, the song was nominated for 'Best International Single' at the Canadian Music Industry Awards. 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.

By then, two further records had been issued in the US. Goffin and King showed some restraint in deciding on a girl group ballad, Keep Your Hands Off My Baby, as the follow-up, rather than a dance tune, although the third song was the decidedly inferior Let's Turkey Trot. Both sold well, but did not reach the level of popularity of the Loco-motion. The fourth Little Eva single was the dire Old Smokey Locomotion. It sank almost without trace.This Week In... 1988".
