I had to resort to Google, but here's the real story.

I think it's funny that her middle name was Narcissus. Who would name their child that?

Good job knapplc,
I just don't subscribe to it being completely true.
Something to do with $.
Still - you get credit for showing something in print.

There are several links if you google "Carole King Little Eva babysitter" that cite pretty much the same story.

I'd give it some pretty good credibility.

Okay. But consider this:
the record company (Geffin - Goffin)
wanted to splash Eva. They used Carole King to jump start her.
Everybody is shutmouthed except the inner circle.
It's the exact same with the Beatles and Badfinger.
You look at the Badfinger album and it says the members of Badfinger were the only ones on it.
But Paul McCartney sings lead on several songs and if you don't think that guitar is George's with his spinning speaker (Leslie).

Same thing.

Interesting stuff! I guess I don't know much about the inner workings of the music industry back then - that not being my favorite time of musical history (or genre), but I can't say that what you're saying is outside the realms of possibility.

Are you a music industry "insider," or are you just an afficianado?

Agreed. Who really knows anything for sure.

Me = afficianado
My boyfriend (you know his name) = worked for Gerry Goffin
and later Geffen Records

Gotta run .. good discussions today!
Thanks.
