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.

Sadly it wasn't any better in the subsequent years of the 90's and onward. Producers just learned new tricks with auto-tune and studio mixing. Milli Vanilli and Black Box just got caught with their pants down. Others didn't and deserved to. The producers and record labels learned from this and decided to switch to half-truths instead. Most of the time even part (as in 5-10%) truths.
There were tons of "singers" in the later half of the 1990's - even world famous names - who did "sing" on the recorded songs BUUUUUT the producers and studio technicians used other "no-name" singers (with real talent) to sing the difficult parts where a steady high voice was needed. They then mixed the voices together using auto-tune and voila! , you've got an "amazing voice". So the credited artist did "sing" the song but it was dramatically improved with auto-tune and incorporating parts from actually talented singers. That's what I mean with part-truths.
Auto-tune was introduced in 1996 and was already in use by 1997. By 1998 several "hit artists" used it. This is how a talentless Disney Channel host with very little singing talent became "the next big thing". I don't need to mention her name but she's a 100% manufactured and pitched product whose 15 minutes of fame was stretched out for 15 years when she should have been another flash-in-the-pan or flavor-of-the-month. I actually saw a documentary of how they did this. It was a real eye-opener even though I suspected something like that happened. Wish I had recorded it.
"Back then, people rarely looked at the linear notes to see who was credited for songs and who wasn't. " And they do so today? Hate to say this but 90% of all people are utterly ignorant to who wrote a song originally (this is especially true for the countless of covers which exist) and even though they have access too internet where this can be looked up in 10 seconds they still don't do it.
Worst of all are the zealot fans of a particular music group. I take great joy in informing them when some "brilliant song" they believe was made by a band actually is a cover . I provide links and credible evidence and see their world crumble (if they're cult-minded) or their eyes open (if they're open-minded).
"Good music but bad business :'-(" . And today we have Bad music but good business.
Again. Milli Vanilli and Black Box got caught.
Others just learned trick of how not to get caught.
Nothing has really changed.
Btw, back in 1989, 1990 and 1991 there were artists who made dance music but openly admitted where they had taken all their samples of and even had the decency to keep their identity secret behind masks.

I only have ❤ for this woman. i wish i could thank her for all those lonely and sad years of my life where her music gave me a reason to live and be happy. still to this day, there is no other voice like Mrs Holloway. It's incredibly shameful that she did not receive the credits and praise she deserves.
