She began gospel singing with her mother in the Holloway Community Singers and she has also recorded with Albertina Walker in The Caravans gospel group. Holloway was also a cast member of the Chicago troupe of Don't Bother Me I Can't Cope.
Holloway found moderate disco success when she placed eighteen songs on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart, including four Number ones, and was featured on Dan Hartman's disco classic, "Vertigo / Relight My Fire". In the early 1980s, she had another dance hit with "Crash Goes Love", before she had her first Number one in the UK with "Ride On Time" by Black Box, which featured vocal samples from her own Salsoul recording, "Love Sensation". This happened again in 1991 when Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch featured her vocals in the chart topping cover version of the song "Good Vibrations". Although both songs were notorious for initial copyright infringements (see: white label), they did help elevate Holloway to legendary status in the dance music/disco community.
A more recent dance chart entry was "Relight My Fire" (credited to Martin featuring Loleatta Holloway), which hit #5 in 2003.
Her latest hit "Love Sensation '06" peaked at #22 in the Dutch Top 40[1] and reached #37 on the UK Singles Chart as well as #49 in Australia.
Holloway died on March 21, 2011 from heart failure. She was 64 years old. She is survived by her four children.

Who knows where your love goes
When he closed the door
We have understanding and that means much more
But I don't have to worry where he goes
'Cause I know that he'll be coming home
You better give up or you'll never win
You better give up hanging on to him
Can't you see
Oh no you're just
Dreamin' dreamin' of him
You're just dreamin' dreamin' of him
You're just dreamin' while he's dreamin' of me
Just dreamin' dreamin' of love you wish you had
I see magic in your eyes when he walks by
But I know you wanna touch him
Honey don't you try
'Cause you don't stand a snowball chance in him
You'll make up trying to undream of him
Dreamin' dreamin' of him
You're just dreamin' dreamin' of him
You're just dreamin' while he's dreamin' of me
Just dreamin' dreamin' of love you wish you had
Oh you're just gonna spend a lonely night
Dreamin' while he's dreamin' of me you're dreamin' of
love you wish you had
Dreamin' while he's dreamin' of me
Dreamin' all the time he's dreamin' of me
You wish you had You wish you had
You better give up or you'll never win
You better give up hanging on to him
Can't you see
You wish you had
You wish you had
I know you want my baby
You see I know I got a good thing
Yes I do
You see girls this man is not like other men
And the reason I say this
Is because I know every lady out
There feel the same thing
Every lady feels that her man is special
He's special to her
No matter how he looks baby
It's the inside that counts
It's what's up front that counts
I'm gonna tell it to you anyway
So called best girlfriends
You know the kind laugh in your face and try to take
your man
Behind your back
You know what I'm talking about
You know where I'm coming from
Well let me tell you something
Let me tell you something
I don't play around girls like that
You know I don't really like to socialize with them
Because I feel like this.
What's mine is mine
What's yours is yours
You see I don't want nothing that's yours
I don't want nothing that looks at you
You see I know I got mine
I know I got him
I got every part of him
I got him from his hair to the tip of his toe
I know what I got
But let me tell you this
You see when you got somebody that loves you
You know they love
You can stand up here like me and tell the whole wide
world
That I got my man
That I got my man
Stand up and tell everybody I got him
I can stand up and tell everybody I got him
Everybody say I got him
I like to hear you know
Ain't gonna let nobody take him from me
Oh ain't gonna let nobody take him from me
I know how to love him
How to squeeze him how to tease him

R.I.P. and thank you Ms. Holloway. So, so, so underrated as a singer. Even when she was talking it sounded like she was singing. THAT'S when you can tell if you're born to sing.
