Song of the day for July 28, 2024

The Loco-Motion by Kylie Minogue is today’s featured song.

On this day in 1987, 19-year-old Australian actress Kylie Minogue (known best at the time for her work in the soap opera Neighbours) released her debut single – a dance-pop version of Gerry Goffin and Carole King’s “The Loco-Motion,” which was first recorded 25 years earlier by R&B singer Little Eva. The track quickly topped the Australian pop charts, while in the US, it marked the third time that the frequently-covered song had reached the Top 3. The song’s global success led Minogue to sign with the London-based production trio Stock, Aitken, and Waterman, who masterminded her debut album, helping to transform her into the most successful Australian female artist of all time.
