LITTLE EVA - JUST A LITTLE GIRL
Cut from a similar cloth as Goffin-King's "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow', this under appreciated gem from Little Eva's catalog takes a message that packs quite an emotional wallop. Unfortunately, the song was buried as a b-side of the rather inane "Old Smokey Locomotion" (a sad attempt to follow up her previous years smash hit). A real pity, as Eva's powerhouse voice is shown to far greater effect on a record like this, and its unfortunate that she was burdened with such piffles for follow ups after the brilliance of her first two a-sides ("Locomotion" and "Keep Your Hands Off My Baby")
Plus, this record makes for one of the very first uses of the Gibson-made Maestro Fuzztone (the buzzy guitar tone which gives the song a very edgy vibe), a full two years before it changed EVERYTHING as heard on the Stones "Saitisfaction".
