Eva Narcissus Boyd (June 29, 1943 – April 10, 2003), known by the stage name of Little Eva (after a character from Uncle Tom's Cabin), was a Puerto Rican American pop singer.
Born in Belhaven, North Carolina, she moved to the Brighton Beach section of Brooklyn, New York at a young age. As a teenager, she worked as a maid and earned extra money as a babysitter for songwriters Carole King and Gerry Goffin. It is often claimed that Goffin and King were amused by Boyd's individual dancing style, so they wrote "The Loco-Motion" for her and had her record it as a demo (the record was intended for Dee Dee Sharp).
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".
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.

Plot: A hellishly bizarre parade of magic and carnage... Young Roscoe finds a portal to another world where he is taught magic by an elder demon known as Dimwos. The demon raises the boy into manhood, revealing to him many things... except for one dark secret. When Roscoe discovers the secret withheld from him all these years, his anger inadvertently unleashes three malevolent demons. Roscoe flees the demons' wrath by escaping through the portal, drawing the demons to discover our world for themselves. Once they pass through, a nightmarish foray of monsters is unleashed. One demon possesses the minds of all whom she crosses, another transforms a man into a murderous beast, and the other summons an army of the dead to do his bidding.

She's the dreams from hell
She paints pictures
Scary pictures
She's got things to tell
She doesn't feel too hot
About the world today
She doesn't know she's got
Control in anyway
Don't you leave her she's like a fire
Like a tiny flame dancing in the wind
Don't believe her she'll never tire
She'll make me feel like you never sin
Dancing, dancing
Dancing in the wind
Dancing, dancing
Dancing in the wind
Little Eva feeling tiny
Waltzes through the door
Little Eva eats the candy
She finds there on the floor
'Cause they say what's cruel
Proves to change her style
You don't have to be a fool
To miss the nature of her smile
Don't you leave her she's like a fire
Like a tiny flame dancing in the wind
Don't believe her she'll never tire
She'll make me feel like you never sin
Dancing, dancing
Dancing in the wind
Dancing, dancing
Dancing in the wind
Don't you leave her she's like a fire
Like a tiny flame dancing in the wind
Don't believe her she'll never tire
She'll make me feel like you never sin
Dancing, dancing
Dancing in the wind
Dancing, dancing
