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.

1979, the height of the recession, Americans held hostage in Iran, interest rates in double digits, double digit unemployment, and we were dancing our assess off! And yet, somehow, they were the best days of my life. Don't get me wrong-I have a great life; but I would go back to that in a heartbeat- life was so much simpler. To quote a popular song today "I'm an old soul living in a new world" and it's tough. Everything seems so upside down. Gonna go grab my wife, play this again and do the "6 step" like I was dancing in Valentinos in Cherry Hill NJ circa 1979. oh yea!

One of the few records back in the day that the DJ would play almost all the way through . 9mins and 41 seconds of pure dance magic ❤
@fearsomebeard4290
DJs needed a moment to run to the bathroom and powder their nose. This was one of the few that allowed them to take the necessary time.
@Educatingben
Amazing medley! People still request it to this day
@adonai71100
Listen Loletta Holloway, Jocelyn Brown, First Choice lead singer Rochelle Fleming, The weather girls Martha Wash are the heavy hitting singers from the 70's to now. ❤

I've remember when this song came out in the summer of 1979. I found the 12" single back in 1987. Loleata Holiday, singing background and lead vocals with Dan Hartman.
