Little Eve

Product Information

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. Kent, David (1993). Australian Chart Book 1970–1992 (Illustrateded.).

Uncle Tom's Cabin is dominated by a single theme: the evil and immorality of slavery. [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." Illustration by Hammatt Billings for Uncle Tom's Cabin, first edition. The image shows George Harris, Eliza, Harry, and Mrs. Smyth after they escape to freedom.

Jennifur Sun from RamonaThanks so much for doing that aritcle. Often wondered who some of the musicians for the Brill Building recordings were. Could never find any info. Such was the impact of Eva's demo disc that Goffin and King decided that her version should be the one to be commercially released, and, on its appearance in June 1962, it fitted well with two current pop crazes - dance songs and the girl group sound. In 2012, during her K25 anniversary, the song re-entered the Japanese singles chart, peaking at number 66. a b "People & Events: Uncle Tom's Cabin Takes the Nation by Storm".

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. A wonderful literary gothic tale." - Sarah Pinborough, New York Times bestselling author of Behind Her Eyes Allen, John (2004).

One of the book’s many surprises is that it is partly narrated by Olivia, a fastidious, deeply religious feline who refers to humans as “teds” and gives us an exterior perspective on her unreliable owner. (“Ted is not a very clean ted. His bathroom does not look like the bathrooms on TV.”) Olivia, Ward remarks, owes something to David Sedaris; she provides humorous respite from the otherwise harrowing narrative. It is, she admits, difficult to write as a cat.

Even though Uncle Tom's Cabin was the best-selling novel of the 19th century, far more Americans of that time saw the story as a stage play or musical than read the book. [136] Historian Eric Lott estimated that "for every one of the three hundred thousand who bought the novel in its first year, many more eventually saw the play." [137] In 1902, it was reported that by a quarter million of these presentations had already been performed in the United States. [138]Ashland, Alexander J. (Fall 2020).

This version was released on July 13, 1987, in Australia, [41] where it became one of the biggest selling Australian records of the 1980s.

It is often claimed that Goffin and King were amused by Boyd's particular 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. [2] The song reached No. 1 in the United States in 1962. It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. [2] Kaufman, Will (2006). The Civil War in American Culture. Edinburgh University Press. ISBN 978-0748619351.
