March 21, 201114 yr Heard from a friend that Ms Holloway has suffered a heart attack and is in a critical condition Cheers Paul Sad news, let's hope she makes it.
March 21, 201114 yr Wishes to Loleatta, Black Box owe her loads for the "Love Sensation" sample. What a voice. Hang on in there Lol.
March 21, 201114 yr That's Lol as in Loleatta not LOL which is so inappropriate... just thought I'd make that clear.
March 21, 201114 yr sad news indeed, probably one of the most sampled artists ever, acca's of her salsoul stuff were virtually the bedrock of early house music.
March 22, 201114 yr Very sad news indeed, let's all hope she pulls through. Her ' Mother of Shame ' 45 still sounds the bizz.
March 22, 201114 yr That's really sad news - what a wonderful voice - up there with the greats I think. Manus
March 22, 201114 yr Really sad to hear this. Her Aware material was some of the first southern soul that turned me over to 'that' side of soul music. RIP. Edited March 22, 201114 yr by harrogatesoul

March 22, 201114 yr Our thoughts and deepest sympathy go out to Loleattas family, such a tragic loss at a young age. Her music will always shine on us, as other artists who have gone before her......RIP x

March 22, 201114 yr oh man ! That is sad sad news. Only this afternoon I was spinning her version of 'That's how heartaches are mad', what a voice full of SOUL ! Thank you, thank you for sharing your gift with us.
March 22, 201114 yr RIP LH........... One of the finest soul vocalists ever.............Southern Soulstress to Divine Disco Diva & sooooooo much more too....... Off to play memories......... Russ
March 23, 201114 yr loleatta holloway - worn out broken heart - gold mind A wonderful voice . RIP Malc
March 23, 201114 yr Would it be possible to feature Lolleata`s longer version of "This man`s arms" (featured on the 100 Club Anniversary single 6T11 B) via Refosoul ?? Thanks in advance EC
March 25, 201114 yr Very sad news. She had one of the great voices, revered by Soul., Disco and House fans alike. Love her version of "All About The Papers'" . When I was running Network she rang up to complain that she had been sampled on a record we had released, I explained it was licenced from Salsoul and all legit ,but she was having none of it, and I got the full effect of THAT VOICE as really shouted. If I had taped her rant it would have been one of the great acapellas! She checked everything out with Salsoul and was fine afterwards. Will play "Dreamin;" at Radcliffe tomorrow night dedicated to her. All The Best, Neil. Edited March 25, 201114 yr by NeilRushton1
March 29, 201114 yr I've only just read the sad news of Loleatta's death. She was a great singer and made so many good records. Playing her version of Casanova, so sad. RIP Loleatta.
April 4, 201114 yr Not been here in a while but what sad news for a great soul artist especially in the late 70's and 80's. Black Box did a great job with her sample on there track
