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.

OMG I can’t get enough of this song, my husband played it for me a couple of nights ago and it’s just so

The way the bass drum pumped the compressor in this recording was amazing! What a luxurious production!
LeslyeJoyAllen - JazzMaestra
I remember this song and so many others that Curtis Mayfield crafted for the best Black female vocalist! "What Now, After You?"
Kwenzokuhle Khuzwayo
For sure she was the best vocalist,very few vocalists who can come close to her its fact,that is Curtis Mayfield chose her to do this song its tops soul music.
Len Williams
Curtis Mayfield was the greatest !
Alessandro Teroni
Best fermale vocalist ?
Flavio Wilner
Fabulous arrangement and rendering. Extremely well set. Bass kick hits at 04:00 to 04:03 are addictively sensual. And what about the bass line?!
Esteban Aguayo
Una de mis preferidas, no me canso de escucharla, tengo 35 años de adorarla.

This whole album is amazing. I bought this album when I first moved to NYC in 1976. This came out in 1977 a couple months after I got to NYC. I knew Loleatta from Cry To Me 1975 and was excited when I saw this album. I've worn out at least 2 copies of this vinyl. I have one that I'm playing and wearing out these days and a sealed copy. Golden, simply golden.You can still hear Dreamin', Hit and Run, We're Getting Stronger ( this one sampled by Whitney), and Ripped Off in the clubs today. Loleatta is the most sampled Diva there is.
Billy Carroll
Your last statement is so so true. She was one of the greats.
