Kylie’s 1987 Australian debut single ‘Locomotion’ was re-recorded as ‘The Loco-Motion’ the following year by the Hit Factory’s Stock Aitken and Waterman. The new version propelled Kylie into global pop stardom, reaching No. 2 in the UK, No. 3 in the US (her biggest US hit) and No.1 in Belgium, Finland, Ireland, Israel, Japan and South Africa. The track - a cover of Little Eva’s American dancefloor smash, written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin - featured on Kylie’s 7x platinum (UK) debut album, Kylie, and remains one of her successful single releases to date.
