Loleatta Holloway From 1967

Posted November 30, 200618 yr

There I was thinking that things have been a bit quiet with the rare and classic soul clips lately when I stumbled onto this ...

An incredibly gritty and fantastic version of Wade In The Water from 1967 by gospel girls The Caravans featuring of all people an outrageously youthful Loleatta Holloway !!!

Real soul power here folks !!!

I can imagine this fitting in nicely between Sam Fletcher and Bud Harper !!!

(NB Apologies to my beloved mods if I have posted the clip incorrectly ... have mercy please!)

Simon, that's interesting, I took it for granted that it was her, it LOOKS like her to me , albeit youthful, and of course I've seen plenty of her pics and clips in later life over the years.

Now I might have to go back and research her various bios to confirm if she sang with the Caravans ...

Still, great footage whatever the case, wonder if its on vinyl ?!!!
