Although the prevailing rumor in the 1970s was that she had received only $50 for "The Loco-Motion," it seems $50 was actually her weekly salary at the time she made her records (an increase of $15 from what Goffin and King had been paying her as nanny).
Megjithëse thashethemi mbizotërues në vitet 1970 ishte se ajo kishte marrë vetëm 50 dollarë për "Loco-Motion", duket se 50 dollarë ishte paga e saj javore në kohën kur ajo i bëri regjistrimet e saj (një rritje prej 15 dollarësh nga ajo që Goffin dhe King i kishin paguar asaj si dado).
