About Loleatta Holloway
Artist Biography
Disco diva Loleatta Holloway was a gospel-trained powerhouse whose full-bodied vocal style resonated beyond the dancefloor. The Chicago native achieved her peak on the pop chart with "Cry to Me" (1975). Holloway later signed with Salsoul subsidiary Gold Mind and was embraced in clubs with Loleatta (1977), containing a trio of highlights that altogether nearly topped Billboard's disco chart. She earned a Grammy nomination for her version of "You Light Up My Life," off Queen of the Night (1978). In addition to the Salsoul Orchestra's "Run Away," Holloway was featured on Dan Hartman's number one disco hit "Relight My Fire" (1979), and she soon returned to the top with "Love Sensation" (1980), the Hartman-produced title song from her final album. Holloway recorded singles for other labels and was sampled on other hits (Black Box's "Ride on Time," Marky Mark's "Good Vibrations") before her death in 2011.
