Holloway did not fit the Motown mold well. She lived in Los Angeles, not Detroit. She also had a grittier edge than the typical polished Motown performer, and wrote songs as well as sang them, which was unprecedented for a female Motown artist. Brenda Hollowy inspired many pop artists, including The Beatles who asked her to perform as the opening act on their 1965 tour of the U.S. She was the only female to open for them.
How Many Times Did You Mean It

pagi ini, tak sengaja kulihat gadis yang manja, tersenyum terpana, melihat ku melihatnya.
sore hari aku pun berniat tuk dekati dirinya.
malam hari pun tiba, dak aku pun mulai nyatakan cinta.
Ohh gadis..., kau tampak manis, senyummu membuat ku jatuh hati, oh gadis kau lucu sekali ingin ku, miliki dirimu 3x
Oh gadiss, kau tampak manis, senyummu membuat ku jatuh hati
I saw a girl today who looked sweet and had a smile that made me fall in love at first sight.
ohh gadis kau lucu sekali, ingin ku miliki dirimu
She was so cute and adorable that I couldn't resist the urge to want to have her for myself.
pagi ini, tak sengaja kulihat gadis yang manja, tersenyum terpana, melihat ku melihatnya
This morning, I accidentally saw a girl who seemed delicate as she smiled and looked simply mesmerized, as if she knew that I was looking at her.
sore hari aku pun berniat tuk dekati dirinya
Later in the evening, I had every intention of approaching her and getting closer to her.
malam hari pun tiba, dak aku pun mulai nyatakan cinta
Finally, when night fell, I confessed my love to her, without hesitation.
Ohh gadis..., kau tampak manis, senyummu membuat ku jatuh hati, oh gadis kau lucu sekali ingin ku, miliki dirimu
Throughout the day, I couldn't help but keep thinking about this girl who had such a pleasant demeanor and adorable personality. I just want to have her for myself.
